(no subject)
You know, I just can't catch onto the whole myspace thing. I mean, it's ok, but it's overly trendy, and I'm just not a stylish person. I almost never post there because I don't like the hassle--I like the flow of LJ. lol I wanted t ostay away for the bad memories, as I once did with the castle, but the days past are the ones I look foward to more often than naught. I guess I'm just old fashioned.
I'm scared to death to go to work tonight. It's not because anything bad happened either, it's because I know that either tonight, tomorrow night, or Friday night, I'm going to get the best tip I've ever gotten. lol Sunday was a great day for me at work, I was on top of my game, I impressed my manager and managed to get out of rolling silverware (yeah, for you bastards who treat wait staff like shit, not only do we cater to your whims, but we scrub the good majority of the restraunt clean after you leave, and the silverware you eat off from? Yeah, we roll that shit, 45lbs a night for me, more for others, half the time we put it through the dishwasher for you too--work my job for a week buddy). It was very odd, because most everyone else was having a horrible evening. I got a couple of huge tips, and then one of William's tables, some regulars of mine offered me a wedding dress.
*shrugs* Now I don't know whether to believe it'll come in or not, but if it does that's one hecuva insentive to lose a bit of weight, it's a size 14, I'm not--yet. I've worked hard to be where I am now, and it's a lot better than where I was. lol I've got no idea what it looks like, I suppose it could be hideous, it's her dress from when she was married 31 years ago, which means 1975. Retro? Classic? It's like getting a $400 or $500 grab bag for free...*cringes* maybe more. Will says he thinks she was on something, I agree because I know she's on anti-depressants. They gave us a nice long talk on how we shouldn't wait forever to get married, because nothing mattered other than that we loved each other. Not who came, or what we wore, ect, ect. I only disagree with the who coming part, there's a lot of people I'd like to be there that I know aren't going to make it. It's tacky, but I might do a webcast of the wedding, for friends, and my grandma who I know could never travel down this far south--but I think she could go to a relatives house that is net savvy.
Anyway, since we're no longer going to honeymoon in Guyana but are saving up for a trip to Japan in about four years, there's a possibility the wedding will be Sept. 2007 instead of Sept 2008.
Lessee...do I have anything else to motormouth about? We had the X-mas party at work last night, it was pretty fun. I came home with a bath set, a "Cracker Barrel Rocks" hat from Mr. Heaney, and a candy cane. Oh yeah, and lots of pictures of coworkers on Santa's lap--Santa being our manager Pete...who's skinny as hell. lol And I'm realizing that I'm an attention whore. I wore a top that showed off my cleavage nicely, and I noticed people looking. There were a few hellos that weren't said to my face. hehe I'm an odd one out, a lot of girls claim not to like that.
I realized that I love Kelly to death last night (a coworker). She is probably one of the most awesome people I've ever known ever and stuff. We sat with her, her sister, Sara, and Lon, there wre others at the table, but we didn't talk a whole lot. Becca hung around, people made faces behind her back, it was hilarious--we're so childish. Richie got to eat his fill and see cute girls, so that was awesome too, manager said he could be family for the night. lol He's already like a kid to us, we go out shoppping and look at stocking stuffers and x-mas pressies for him, wondering would Rich like this or that....it's just weird. lol
And I'm thrilled, because even though the chick is utterly nuts from what I've heard and in part seen...there is a real flesh and blood girl that likes Richie, not some stupid girl on the internet. Maybe this will help him see that he doesn't have to meet everyone online. Even though I knew it was likely to be a friends only thing with them, I threatened never to get him smokes again if he didn't get her phone number. In the end I pretty much drug him in, told her he had something to ask, and took off. Was it mean? *shrugs* He needs to develop confidence, and the best way I learned it was to be thrown into awkward situations time and time again.
Will and I are going to be alone for x-mas this year, it makes me sad, but also a little happy too because we'll have two days of just us--I don't remember any of those in almost half a year. I realize why parents like it whe ntheir kids sleep over at a friends house now. My poor mom, it's a shame we were all shy kids.
I guess I'll go ahead and leave this as it is, can't think of much more to say anyway. I remember why I prefer LJ though--here I'm writing for myself and others can see it, instead of writing for others and forgetting myself.
