Campfield
I'm now a sort of official resident of Campfield, a group of condo's at the end of Baymeadows near 9A. I'm so glad I found a place to live for the summer. Lisa and I are relatively happy here despite Eric's occasional assholishness.
I'm also now an official employee of Old Navy! It's crazy because ever since it opened (back in the day) I've wanted to work there. I worked my first shift yesterday and it was fun. I was in the fitting room the whole nite but it wasn't bad, seeing as it was a weeknite and we weren't that busy. I hear the fitting room is hell on Saturday and Sunday. I believe it. I hope I don't have to deal with that. I like that they play cool music though, and it's loud enough to hear! I'm making 7.50/hr, which isn't enough to pay my bills, but I'll make it somehow. Maybe I'll pick up a side gig somewhere. Anyone know of anything?
I went home last weekend. It was great to see Mom and Em. It was Mother's Day on Sunday but I had to leave early Sunday to go to orientation at O.N. so we celebrated on Saturday. I wrote her a poem and got her a pedicure at Amici's. Em brought us all out to dinner and a movie. We saw Mission Impossible 3, which was ok. It was better than the 2nd one. Mom seemed very happy, which was good. I saw Becky too, finally. I went over to their apt. on Friday and I didn't see her truck but I knocked on the door anyway because I didn't have her number and I figured I could get it from Rob. Rob answered the door and immediately told me that Becky wasn't there. It seems they were having a fight. Go figure. She got back in a few minutes though so all was well. We talked for a while out on the porch and things seem to be going well for her. She's super skinny (not in a bad way, just all muscle) and has grown her hair out to about shoulder length. This kept wierding me out because as long as I've known her, she's had super short hair. She looked very different overall. The hair was what kept fucking me out though. I saw Jeff too. He seems to be doing well at ABC and is happy staying at home except for his crazy aunt who has recently moved in. He bars a lot but seems to be keeping his drinking under control. Em is doing good too besides her obsession with WOW. I got to meet her new boy, Chad. We all went out to Outback on Friday nite. He seems like a good guy and they seem to be good for eachother. The only thing that bothered me about him was that he wouldn't stop making quick glances at my boobs. Wierd. I had a few drinks at dinner though and confessed to Em that I started smoking again. I had set out on the trip to tell both her and Mom but couldn't bare telling Mom while I was there. She would be sooo disappointed. Other than that, not much happened over the weekend. I did see Dad though. I stopped in D.B. on the way. He gave me a check for my classes and checked out the van and stuff. He wanted me to stay for dinner but I explained that Em wanted me to come up to have dinner with her and Chad and of course he understood. I'm going to try to visit him more this summer because he did seem disappointed that I wasn't staying for dinner and he really isn't that far away- it only took me a little over an hour to get there.
Classes are going good. I'm not going to get into Bates' class for summer B but that's ok. I'm taking two this semester and that's enough. The Vienna class is really interesting and Sneads and I are having fun taking it together. We had our first test tonite and it went well. I think.
Other than all that crap, not much is happening here. Alex and I are having so much fun! We've done a lot over the past couple of months that I haven't been able to write about because I've been so busy. He started a trip-hop nite on Tuesdays at the Pearl though and that's been awesome so far! I had no idea how much I like that genre. It makes me feel like a spy all Alias style. I heart the Pearl by the way. It's one of those hang-outs that will be looked back on with nostalgia, even though D.J. Ricky sucks. Ha.
I think I'm going to go to bed now though seeing as it is almost 4:30 in the mornin.
Fond dreams, of mountains and streams.
