I feel alone this weekend. My bed is empty. I feel content to be by myself, but I don't see what is wrong with wanting to share my time with someone else. This weekend has been impossible to hang out with anyone.
Thursday I went to Natural Gas Safety training in Georgetown. I had to wake up at 7:00 am so I could arrive by 9:00 am. The drive there was ridiculous. I was driving at about 25 m/h on 405 South. When I arrived the people at the front desk directed me to the wrong room, a large empty training room. I went back and then they directed me to a group outside. I saw Georgia out there, a certain sign this was not my group. She led me back to the building and to the correct training room. Despite all of this run around I was not the last person to arrive. After class was over I went to University Village Mall and purchased new glasses. The glasses will arrive within two weeks. I also bought a shirt and new cologne from Banana Republic. The salesman tried flirting with me a bit which is always flattering, but I wasn't interested in him at all. I must be lucky. I used my 10% discount from the customer satisfaction survey and received another survey invite. If they run them as frequently as they did in my Old Navy days each time is a 1:30 chance, ordered, not random. So my twice in a row were in theory only 1:300. At this point I should also mention that last time I went shopping I also got the survey from the Gap. This represents 1:27,000. I wish I were always so lucky in life. Only with Gap Inc. apparently.
After a day of shopping I went grocery shopping with Andrew to purchase ingredients for sushi. We made sushi for five of us. I drove home and received a call back from Andrew right as I arrived to my front door. He was telling me that he and Michelle got in a fight and she was going to try to drive home intoxicated. I got on the phone with her and told her that she wasn't allowed to do that, she could "either stay there, or have me drive back into Seattle to pick you up." She kept threatening to drive, insisting that she didn't want to hassle me by having me drive down there. I tried explaining that it wasn't my driving that was the hassle, it was her thinking that she could drive herself. I drove down there arriving at about 12:30. I had trouble finding Michelle as she had decided to walk around and have her phone die. I found her, took her back up to Andrew's place where she decided she could stay after all. I refilled my gas tank with her, dropped her back off at Andrew's and then drove myself home. Just in time to go to bed at 2:00 am.
Once again I had to wake up at 7:00 am, but this time so I could be at work by 8:00 am for training. The training is simple and dull. I had to buy an iced venti carmel macchiato to stay awake. We had to bid on new shifts. I am dead last on the seniority list. Essentially my bidding was pointless. I will work the shift no one else wants to work. This means that if someone stops working an essential shift, say, graveyard, and no one else wants to work graveyard, I will be forced into that shift at any time. This bites. The good news is there is a new group of trainees coming in and I will only be dead last for about three more months.
Friday night was eventful with Georgia's birthday party, but I still felt fairly alone. Everyone was dancing with each other and I was just dancing with Zach, my roommate. I enjoy hanging out with him and grabbing a slice of pizza to eat, but it just isn't the same as dancing with John and looking into his eyes as he puts his hand on the small of my back to pull me closer while dancing. I miss being held while I fall asleep. Humans are not solitary animals. We are social creatures. There is nothing wrong with wanting to feel the touch and embrace of another person.
Saturday I spent much of the day at home, but then went to Seattle, picked up Lawrence and went out to Thai-ger Room. I bought a couple cds at Cellophane Square. We walked over to Pochi Tea Station where I turned in some punch cards for a free strawberry-taro boba. I discovered Lawrence had never had boba. The woman taking our orders made fun of him for being Asian and never having had boba. We then went back to Lawrence's place and chilled for a while as I got to laugh at him trying to put in eye drops into his freshly lasered eyes.
