So the year's over. Christmas has passed and my store's inventory is tomorrow. The long haul is finally over. I believe that means its time for the obligatory "new year's resolutions." Actually, this will be the first year that I can remember out of the last 5 or 6 that I have actually resolved to accomplish anything. I guess I won't really call them resolutions, because they aren't changes I want to make. Its more along the lines of being committed to keeping the good things going.
#1. I came back in contact with some old friends, who were really good friends. Phil, Toby & John. I've only been back in touch a little more than a week, but I'd like to stay in touch. They aren't the type of people I forsee myself getting really close to - I mean, we weren't when we were friends before. They were the type of friends you had fun with when you were bumming, but never talked about the reason you were bumming. You wouldn't make Christmas gifts, but you would buy them things they would actually enjoy. Those kinds of friends. That, and they are also the demographic of people I typically don't get along with. Straight males that are my own age. Anyhow, I'm really looking forward to trying to mantain stable friendships with them because now that I'm the manager of a store I need to have some of that careless fun back in my life to balance things out.
#2. I've also met two really great new people. Derrik and Nancie. I've come to care for them both very deeply in the short time I've known them & I'd like to work hard to keep it going. I think I just sort of have to trust myself and my judgment. I'm always afraid that when people really get to know me that they aren't going to care as much about me as I do about them, which leads me to sort of give up or back away. So, that leads me to not really show them the real me, or just not bother with trying at all. I haven't done that this time around and it seems like there's potential for really good friendships there.
#3. Work is going great and I'd just like to keep the ball rolling.
#4. Would it be to damn much to ask for Mr. Right to come walking through my line at AC Moore? I'm not going to clubs, I'm not signing up for internet personals and I have no extra time in my life for outings at places where I may meet someone. I am not bitter, because I realize that if I actually chose to do any of the above things, I might meet someone. I don't expect him to just come find me at AC Moore, but I thought it was worth it to ask... haha. And, if he's in my life already and I just don't know I would appreciate it if he would just hurry up and tell me so.
So, that's that. I have three things that are within my grasp, that I intend to work totally hard at making sure I accomplish and I think a fair trade is for an average-looking, intelligent, funny, compassionate man between the ages of 18 and 27 to come into my store one of these days and let me know he's interested.
