Like a good book, I can't put this day back:
So the day did go.
I arose early to greet a somewhat nice day; there was a very pleasant aura to the environment and the air was under an eery spring haze. With the temperatures so moderate and the sun so eager, I called my best friend Staci, who moved away two years ago to live in Indiana. I knew she was in town, so I gave her a call, and she told me that she was on her way back home. HOWEVER, she turned around and came right back here so that we could see one another a bit before she left.
It was very nice, very refreshing to catch up on things. Perhaps the most refreshing part of the whole deal was knowing that she had not changed one bit, only grown. In my eyes, that is so admirable! After talking for awhile, we decided to go back to tradition and head out shopping.
And that we did.
Brought back a shirt. Staci bought underwear. Looked at the mew mews. Raided Victoria's Secret. Ate Chinese. All in all, was a pretty nice day. It was just exceptionally nice being able to see her, and the word is she's moving back this summer. I cannot even begin to express my happiness concerning that; I get my best friend back.
She left at about 4 or so, and I came home and began to clean up my living quarters. I got caught up in playing my piano, so obviously the task did not get done, but I did get some practice time in, which is essential if I'm to master this instrument. Soon after, I got ready and headed out to Barnes and Noble to read my Szpilman journals. I caught up with Damien and we made a detour to Best Buy so I could look for the Cello Sonata [Chopin], but no such luck. Soon after was Target for hair dye, but once more, no luck. However I did buy the new John Mayer CD, because I have a terribly lame addiction to some of his music. [So sue me.] I then dropped Damien off and did make my way to Barnes and Noble to read. I ended up getting a book [which was a friend's christmas present to me, just very late.] for free, and it made me smile ever so much! Good gift idea, definitely. The book is called "I hate this place: The Pessimist's Guide to Life" and Jimmy Fallon and his sister wrote it. I'll put out my reccomendation now; this book it well worth the read! I was getting bored and waiting for Brian's call, though, so I went to get some gas.
After that was done, I had remembered someone in the Adrien Brody community talking about finding the Lifetime movie he did, Oxygen, in the $5.50 DVD bin at Wal Mart. I drove out there and began the search, and within twenty minutes, there it was. I am so exstatic to have this DVD! It's one of those movies I've never seen, but know the plotline and the character of Adrien's, so it's a definite must-have. In fact, I plan on watching it and Swing Kids tomorrow when I get off work. I can't wait to see it, especially the opening scene I hear so much about. [the sad face.]
So Brian had called while I was in Wal Mart. He had been watching some of his friends play in their jazz band and they had asked him to play with them. So Brian sent me this long elaborate voice mail about how much fun he was having and how great it was doing this and all I could do was smile. It's always so great to hear him so happy, and to know it was because of music makes me feel even happier for him. I messaged him back and told him not to worry about me, but to stay there and keep creating his music and having a GREAT time. Wish I could be there to catch that show!
Oh yeah. Tomorrow's my last day at JC Penney's. It turns out that I was only hired as a temp for the holidays and that I'm no longer needed. Not a big deal; I was in the process of looking for a new job anyways.
Also, I'm not going to be moving out for quite awhile now. I'll spare the details, but to make a long story short, Carrie bailed and her parents got her her own place and I decided that I wanted to save at least two month's rent and get a new STABLE job before I take that step. As long as I can maintain my sanity in this household, I'll be fine. Perfectly fine. It's worth the wait.
I also decided I want to live on my own. Period. No questions asked. I can't trust other people anymore, especially with something as serious as that. So it looks like I'll be in my own little efficiency!
But yes. So concludes the post on my day and night. I hope everything is going well in the world for all that experience it. [Insert Khmer.]
