:::today brings new people and booze:::
well, the a.m. is upon these thoughts again and in about 8 hours I begin what’s to be my last year in college. My current living situation isn’t the best but i’ll manage. From what I gather from the current office staff is that our apartment was the last “4 -4” and our 2 new roommates couldn’t be denied the last 2 pending spots. Oh well, I suppose living with 19-20year old mini thugs isn’t too bad. They’re really not thugs, more like nerdy white kids with an urban vernacular. Nevertheless, I still got eddie(original I-205 brigade) in the house and that’s the way it was last year …”me and ed!”. Though, the jokes, music making, and music lovin’n ethic of our last roommate jason will be truly missed.
Tonight was great for a number of reasons, I finished helping eddie on his website and later went to celebrate with a few of his friends over food and twenty one and over beverages. I’ve met them a few times and it’s so easy to get into good conversation with a number of them. My summer contact at RawVibe (Def Jam) , Kelly, was at the gathering as well and we finally got to meet face to face (hope she dug it).
:::borders stares:::
however before the eddie hang out, I drove to the Oviedo target(which I never went to) and I got the two cents to stop by borders (which I had spent most of my Wednesday at this week reading) to see about these stares I was getting. While I was in the store on Wednesday I saw one of the workers staring at me more obviously than normal. At one point I noticed her turning her head so fast from staring that I knew that something was definitely obvious. For some reason my temperature rose and I was in the “oh my god is she staring at me?? Zone” and kept flipping pages meaninglessly and not actually reading.
Well the stairs continued throughout the night. I think I didn’t leave just because of them. I just kept reading and kept looking up occasionally to see what section she was in. At one point it was the coffee bar, music section, then the front desk. So my dorky ass wrote my number down in hopes of just handing it to her and saying “Why don’t you just call me some time and we can schedule a time for you to stare at me!”
But no, seriously, I couldn’t think of something honest and nice to say that wouldn’t sound creepy; however, I did go looking to see were she was before I left so as to maybe bump into her in the music section and say hi but I suppose she had gone home by the time I was done reading my PHP crap.
So I went today, I was feeling confident and as I open the door the first thing I see is her. Again that childish heat came over me and I glanced in her direction and we caught each other. I went back to the MySQL PHP area just to “read” (aka mustering up the courage) then eddie calls me to say that Kelly was coming over and wanted to know if I wanted to get together and meet. So I had to think quickly, almost too fast as I almost walked out with the book.
So she’s at the front desk alone and I just walk up…I ask her about the book holding procedures and she tells me. I glance at her name and mark it. I was looking right at her and holding a little conversation. But the stupid thought of being too forward came over me because im truly a person that is a believer in meeting females through association so as to feel them out; and so that thought drives me to pussy out and she takes my name and number down for the book and I thank her by saying "have a nice day" and she replies "thank you so much, you too" and I just walk away. Grrr….i still have to pick the book up in three days…I would like to say something on Tuesday but what dO I say? There is nothing that won’t make me sound awkwardly forward and desperate and everything I hate…oh well…maybe something like “Hey, YOUR LOSS BABE!” *as i fix my collar 80’s style!*
either way, something will be said. "go big or go home." -thanks jason.
