Ahoy! Long post ahead!
So this weekend is finally over. It was a long 3 days, filled with 8 hour shifts and aching feet. Ben is still a pain in my ass at work, but I'm trying to ignore him. Everyone else seems to like me, so whatever. I got kind of irriated because Ben sold 25 combos yesterday, and thus gets a 25 cent raise. It irritated me, just because I don't like him. It's spiteful, I know. But I can't help it. On the plus side, however, we sold 95 combos all together so everyone who worked yesterday and sold more tha 5 combos got 5 cent raise. So I now make $5.40 an hour! Woohoo! Can you feel the money just rolling in??
But I'm enjoying the movie theater. It's fun for the most part. Yesterday I hung around after my shift was done, because Radu and I wanted to see RotK. There was a chance we wouldn't be able to though, because if a movie gets sold out then employees can't go for free. But luckily, we did get into the movie. It was packed, but we got in. I bawled again, but a little less than last time. Radu seemed to like it, though he was making fun of it a bit. He was saying all the friends lived, and no good guys died and I argued that Theoden and Boromir died, and he said Theoden wasn't a good king and Boromir was bad. I don't know if he was joking or not, but I of course got all defensive. Because Theoden is a great king and Boromir is not bad. He just had a moment of weakness.
Nevertheless, it was a fun night. We took the TCAT back to the commons and he went home and I transfered buses to get to my apartment. But now the third date is over, and we still haven't held hands or kissed and I'm starting to think we might just be friends. And I'm fine with that. I have no problems just being friends, but I just hate not being sure. johnabe actually IMed me this morning about the Radu thing. It was pretty funny.
John: I would like to send an open letter to Radu
Me: Okay...
Me: Why?
John: For the love of God, make a move already
Me: LOL
John: you know you want to
John: signed, John
Me: You are too much
I'm not stressing about it, but I really think we might end up just being friends. We'll see. Anyway that was last night. Today started off kind of rough. I forgot it was Sunday, and thus got all fucked up by the TCAT. I was at the busstop to catch the 8:53 down the hill so I could transfer for the 9:00 to the mall. But it got to be past 9:00, and I'm still up the hill. I then realize that the bus is not coming so I start walking down. A youngish guy was scraping some ice off his car and driving down, and as he passed me he slowed down and asked if I wanted a ride down the hill. Now, I don't hitchhike, and I don't take candy from strangers. I know it's not a good idea to get into random people's cars, but something in his voice sounded sincere, and I was in a hurry so I accepted his offer, with much appreciation. He moved some stuff off his passenger seat and I introduced myself, he told me his name was Caleb (sp?) and he gave me a lift down the hill.
It was very random, but it seriously helped a lot. It was only a minute or two total, so we didn't really talk or anything, but he seemed nice. And his parents work at IC. So anyway, he drops me off at the Commons and I get to Green Street and realize that I've missed the 9:00 to the mall and there won't be another until 10:00, while I'm supposed to be at work at 9:30. So now I'm pissed because I have to take a cab. So I call a cab and it's fucking $9 to the mall, but I take it because I don't want to be an hour late. I got into work on time though, so I guess it was okay. Thing that pissed me off even more though, was that I asked to get off work at 5:30 because I knew the last bus leaving the mall was at 6:00. But I did not know that the bus up to IC stops running at 6:00. So I had to take another fucking cab up the hill to my place, which cost another $5. So all together, I spent about $15 on cabfare today. Fucking TCAT. I really wish I had a car.
I get home and practically collapse. I made some dinner and watched "Sleepaway Camp 2" which is really fucking terrible. Ian bought me the Sleepaway Camp boxset for Christmas, so I have to watch the third one now. The original is bad, but at least it's campy/bad. The sequel is just awful. I'm almost dreading having to watch the third. After that I went up to Kat's place, because I told her I'd take her to see "Love Actually" at 10:05. So we went back to the theater and saw the movie, which is just as great the second time as it is the first time. Kat got to see Ryan, and she agrees that he is totally my type. But I couldn't find Ramone, which is okay because I'm sure she'll see him eventually. After the movie we went to Wegman's so I could get groceries, and so I did. I got some basic chips and soda for the New Years party, along with some ready-to-bake-cookies. I was going to buy some Sky Blue, but apparently they can't sell it after 1:00am. Tomorrow I'm heading down to the commons to mail a package, and also to check the dollar store for cheesy New Years decorations. Like stupid hats and noise makers. Heehee.
Tomorrow Today I get to sleep in (THANK GOD) and lounge around and watch DVDs. I cannot wait. The only thing that would make tomorrow better, is if I didn't have to go down to the Commons, and if I had someone here to rub my feet. But otherwise, I'm very excited about the next 24 hours.
