yesterday i played ff9 and went to work. got there stoned, handled up on apps for a little while. talked bullshit with austin and james. james had this long diatribe on my shelltops that he didn't want to tell me at first. turns out this was it in a nutshell: the girls at his high school that wore shell tops didn't care if you were white or black. i was like so this a good thing, right? i don't know why it took him the entire shift to tell me that.
anyway. it was slow, we didn't even have a monday night pop. earlier i told james i had a bowl packed in my pocket and around 7 i asked deano and austin if i could go smoke. i went outside, took like 2 hits, and i hear the door open so i put it away. it's deano.
"whatcha doin gina?"
"smokin."
"why?"
"um...
"you quit smoking, i'm not gonna let you smoke at work anymore." we laugh. "seriously! jeremiah told me not to let you smoke here anymore. you smoke before you get here, you smoke after you punch out." we go inside and i get back to my station. deano says "you can thank james for reminding me, i forgot you quit."
so i go over to james and i just don't say anything. i give him that look, but i have a smile on my face because i mean let's face it...i got high anyway :) james apologized, he was like "i'm sorry, i forgot you were doing that." but no big whoop :) don't sweat the small stuff kids. not worth it.
nothing else of note happened, really. i punched out and talked to deano for a little while, then went to my car and packed a REAL bowl. i text messaged deano to come join me and sure enough about 5 minutes later, i see the door open. deano strolls over to my car reeeeeaaalll slow like and comes to my window, which i roll down. "was that you messaging me?" big grin.
"yeeaah"
"..then i will" bigger grin.
hehe...so he gets in my car i hand him the bowl and tell him he can puff on it for a little while since he's gotta go back in and i don't. he thanked me, we smoked, then we talked about him saving the world. apparently deano is going to save the world. "not everybodys ready for all that, i don't know when its gonna happen but look out" and "i might get really high one day and go to the free speech alley, start spoutin some shit" heh.
deano also told me never gets sick. hasn't been sick in 3 years. said elyse gets mad at him ("why don't you ever get sick!?!?") cause they sleep in the same bed but he never catches anything from her. he said it's because he doesn't want to get sick. "i will myself to be well, gina. i don't get sick because i don't wanna be sick. it's all in the mind."
well maybe it is. deano is one of the most interesting people i've met in a while. he seems like a pretty simple happy go lucky dude, but there's a lot to him that i don't even know about yet. i learn something new about him that surprises me everytime i see him.
anyway. ff9 calls.
