you know what else is awesome?
i've finally done all my christmas shopping. i think. i hope.
i've also decided to send cards, and i think everyone else is doing the same this year. unlike the years before so that's cool.
oh my god i'm gonna see silverchair again!!!
i was waiting at the bus stop at the interchange last night and there was this guy at the stop in front who couldn't stop scratching himself. it was really weird and i think the other 2 guys that i was sitting with were also thanking god we werent gonna be catching the same bus as him. it started with his hair. then his arm. his back and then with a finger on each side of his head... his ears. so strange. but also a good breaking point into conversation.
i wonder if ben & chris have started speaking up more like they said they would and the chair sound has changed again...
work drinks last night. twas nice. i love when we sit in the shop and everyone thinks we're open hehehe. so many people try and push the door and get knocked back by the force at which they've tried to open it it's quite funny. maybe you have to be there.
renee reckons i should stop lusting after any half decent guy and devote all my attention to wooing red cap. hey woah. red cap. chris, if ever you read this. do you know many of the deli (or ex deli) guys?
and now al, (manager) thinks that the vollie forms are a way i scope out guys. seeing as we don't get many guys asking nowadays i really dont think this is true but yeah...
