New Freak of Gander
Soooo I'm here!!! Back in Newfoundland, livin it up in Gander. Well as much livin it up as you can do here . . . that equals a Tim's coffee really. haha fuck sakes.
I can't believe I've done it. I'm not sad I did it, I just can't believe that I'm in GANDER. HOLY.
It's so funny though. I'm like the new freak here or something. People drive down the road turning their heads as I walk by. I think it's because no one dresses like me here, plus I'm the new meat. I have people literally coming by the store, poking their heads in, just to look at me. Because I'm new to the mall. I even had a kid say to his mother the other day "He's weird" . . . "Why is he weird sweetie?" "Because he's wearing pink . . . " "Well, daddy wears pink when he's in England" . . . that made me feel a little better!! haha
But my God, the customer base here is hilarious. I never had culture shock going to England, but coming home is the biggest shock of my life!!! "You got anyting 'ere fer a gift? All I sees is 'alloween!!" (Autumn colours). "60 dollars fer a wastebasket, mmmmmmy, get me de fuck out of 'ere!!" Honestly, that's what I hear. "You don't even 'ave one gol' pillow 'ere in dis store . . . not heven a gol' pillow" hahahaha fucking hell!!! But what's cool is that I'm already establishing a trust with some customers in that they come to me for design advice and whatnot. I even had to pick a woman's paint colour yesterday. That's what I love really. But sales are already on the rise so it's looking good!!!
I'm so glad to finally have internet at home. I've been without that for a year, which I didn't realize how hard it would be!! And STUFF!!! I have stuff! I have my OWN apartment, painting the walls my colours (gorgeous of course haha), and have my own things all around me. Lovely. Part of me really loves being back, and of course, part of me really misses what I left.
I love how the week before I left I got chatted up by a guy working next door, and the Toni & Guy hairdresser who I've been eyeing the last couple of months in Brighton finally made it clear that he was interested in me the day before I left. *sigh* Such is life. Good luck finding a relationship or even a good date back here in . . . Gandah. But who knows . . . maybe I'll get surprised :) I hope I do.
Anyhoo, I'm back y'all. I better get to see some of your asses some time soon. And by asses, I mean faces. But with some of ya, I can't even tell the difference!!!! haha and by that I mean they're both cute.
love.
