Where did you come from?
Well, Bennett hasn't been to Geo's since the 6th of this month. I think he has given up on anything, if there was ever anything he was trying for in the first place. I am still watching and waiting, but there has been no news on that since my last entry. However, there have been other happenings within the walls of Geo's. Some are very horrible, others quite pleasant indeed. First and foremost, CC has been arrested and I will probably never see him again. The cops came to Geo's last night and took him away. I am heartbroken, he was dear to me even though we were never close. I am at a loss of what to say about that really. It has just been a harsh blow to my little heart...I tried to be helpful and kind, but I really feel like I should have done more. I wish I could turn back time..Even if I couldn't change what happened, I at least would like to have been able to say goodbye...I guess that is all I want to say about that matter. It is difficult to speak of and I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't want me speaking of it anyway.........Rion dyed his hair black and red, that looks absolutely divine if I do say so myself. He also pierced his lip, which looks tasteful on him as well. He's getting some flak with Janet and Amanda about it, but he has been willing to compromise. With CC gone I doubt that they will fire him because now we are short handed again.....Continuing on....A new boy was hired a few weeks ago. His name is Alex. He is an overwhelmingly innocent and jovial little boy with blonde hair and blue eyes peeking out from behind those classic thick black framed glasses. He is a very proper and tucked in young man with a willingness to work and a more polite gentleman's attitude than the other boys of Geo's. On his first day he did something that no other guy at Geo's has ever done to me. He walked up and introduced himself. I looked up from my prep work at this total stranger that had walked in on his first day with a huge grin on his face. He looked like a happy puppy minus the vigorously wagging tail. I'm not exactly the jovial type, nor am I attractive or extremely approachable. Therefore this gleeful greeting took me by surprise. Where the heck did this guy come from? Other employees arrived and I figured that since most of them were more attractive girls that was the last I would hear of the little blonde, besides, he was my polar opposite it seemed. Not that I am like horribly evil or heinous, but I'm just not a peppy glowing flower, you know. It was just obvious to me that we had nothing in common whatsoever. Well I was quite wrong about this being the end of his attention. He continued to follow me around and help me with things, something that no one does very often. his friendliness continued to an invasion of personal space when he removed the hair from my eyes to look at them. You don't just touch someone's face when you barely know them...That is an intimate gesture, ya know? He did that twice in an evening...Couldn't understand why...I like my hair in my face. He has continually been approaching me and when I was feeling down he took the onion out of my hand and set it down, then gave me a really big hug. He even squeezed me really tight and rubbed my shoulder which was rather rather awkward indeed. On Wednesday he asked me if I would like to go to a movie with him and his friends. I agreed to this and with nervousness in his voice he asked for my phone number to give me times later on. He called me on Thursday, told me the movie times, and said he'd pick me up after work. A few minutes later one of his buddies calls me and says that Alex had been talking about me for the last 5 hours! Well, this was either an interesting joke or the confirmation of some suspicions. I felt more awkward about the movie...I didn't want him to try anything at all, I just wanted to be two buddies going to a movie..I mean this guy and I have nothing in common or anything! I'm not good with being blunt to people, so I was rather nervous myself when he picked me up from work. I noticed that he was wearing a black shirt, which I knew he did just for me (he told me so). We walked over to his house and I met his sister, his dad, and his friend Sam. We talked out on their little swing for a while, which was fun because his sister insists that he is rebellious. Rebellious?! That little blonde haired angel!? Naw! Next he took me into his room where everything inside of me smiled. I knew it would be neat as a pin since he is so obsessive compulsive, but what I didn't expect was for it to be full of guitars! He played a song that he wrote and it was really awesome! He is very talented. I looked over at his shelf and saw that he has one of my favorite computer games, Diablo!!! I go "You play Diablo?!?!" Well it turns out we are both really big fans! The movie was really good too, about 30 minutes into it he asked if he could hold me hand. I said yes. I didn't get home until like 1 AM, and when he was leaving I told him I had a really nice time and he asked if I'd like to do something again. I agreed to this as well. He says enthusiastically "I like picnics! Let's go on a picnic!" I agreed to this also. As you can tell I really did enjoy my evening and despite his limitless optimism we do have soome things in common. I definitely like him as a friend...More than that? Too soon to tell. I'm going to give it time. I want to know the boy inside and out before I make a choice like that. It is about time I learned from my experiences. *Rolls eyes at herself* My heart tugs abou Bennett, but this definitely has more potential and reality at the moment...And not only that, I have made it a point to bide my time. There is nothing wrong with us hanging out and getting to know each other. We shall see what the Lord brings to me. I don't know how I will tell Eric about it, but then again he has been missing for weeks...I can't get a hold of him...I don't know what has happened to him. *Worries* That is another matter of its own I suppose...We are on perfectly good terms, so I really don't know what is up at all. And I suppose that since Alex and I are just hanging out it isn't a big deal. It will be a long time before anything more happens at this point. I guess I'm just...fond of him...and a little interested I suppose. Funny that I should be thinking and feeling that way since in the beginning I was so inisistant that he was totally wrong for me in almost every way. Shows what I know. I'm glad he didn't give up on me. I could continue with my more intricate thoughts on the matter, but I shall save that for another day because this entry is almost as massive as our everexpending unnecessary government programs. Cheers!
