Couldn't think of a clever title...
A few things new! I always forget to update when things happen. It's been... a while.
First new thing, I've been dating a guy-- weirdly, since I've dated no one since early high school, and I've never gone on dates, just claimed a 'going out' title.
Nevik (can ya guess his real name?) is a tall redhead guy from another Fred Meyer deli (I know, I know, it's been a year and a half now and I still hate my job, I should quit... But last time I tried, it didn't work. *mutters more excuses*) So anyway. He was coming over to help out our deli while his was remodeled, and since we have a turnover rate of one month or less with new employees, we've been understaffed and overworked. (Unfortunately, nearly all the people from that other FM are pretty much useless, clean for crap, and don't seem to know wtf they're doing.) First day I closed with him, he asked me out to coffee, and I thought wth and agreed.
First mistake. *laughs* But I'm going to be living with Heerichan in a few months (Moving late June or early July. ^_^ Down to Portland. We're hoping to share a two-room apartment and make the extra room into a study, for our metric ass-load of books). So I think my brain went, "Well, I may as well try dating."
We've had coffee... twice. And gone on two dates, over the course of what Heerichan says is a month (it feels like a week? But I'm so bad with time, and if I really think I can vaguely get a memory like it's been weeks, since it must have been.) On the last one, we just went out for sushi, and went to see a movie but the theater wasn't playing anything... so he invited himself to my place to watch a DVD. Then, when that got over at 8 and dad got home, he wouldn't leave.
He sat on the couch watching TV with us for two hours, then was saying the next show looked really interesting too, which would have had him staying until 11. So I got up and started doing dishes, and it still took him half an hour to get the hint and finally leave.
He also keeps mentioning that he's told all his friends about me and he wants me to meet his mother and he's setting up a dinner with his sister and her husband to meet me and blah blah stalkery blah. But I'm passive-agressive and horrible at being up front or confrontational, I prefer to simmer and stew and expect the other person to psychically get that I'm angry. He's decent enough, but doesn't hold my interest-- I should have stuck to my conclusion a while ago, I could only date a friend. X.x; Unless I've known someone a long time, I get bored and then annoyed with them if they try to move fast. (Though it's not like they'd get a prize if they got to date me longer. XD;;; I say I'm hard to date or pin down, not that it's in any way worth it).
Aside from all that, really not much has been happening. *grins* I work, I go home at like eleven, I chat online and then pass out.
Weird thing though-- I close the deli in Fred Meyer, that and the mid-shift (dishes) is all I do. I've never been to work before 10 in the morning, and when I'm there that early I'm fuzzy-headed. I closed tonight and get to be back at work within... a bit over 8 hours. But then I'll be off by 5, which is pretty sweet, so I'll actually have time after a shift. Weird thought.
Oh! I need to get a new cell phone tomorrow. I killed mine with water at work a few weeks ago and then promptly forgot it had been a few weeks. I really want the green Chocolate phone-thing... but since I only want it because it's neat looking and called "mint" and I have a crazy thing for mint, I don't think that's good enough reasoning.
Other new thing is that for some reason now, at around dawn I stop being able to sleep-- even the faint light from my window wakes me up and I start tossing and waking again every half hour. I bought a sleeping mask, so am hoping it'll help a little.
Bu~ut I should sleep now, so I don't fall asleep on the floor tomorrow-- check that, after midnight now, so this morning.
