learned a lesson today. never make plans when you work at hard rock in the off season. three times now i’ve told nate, i should get out by such and such a time, only to have that time come and go and me still be at work. this time, i was going with the average send home time of 1/1:30 so we could go to the bookstore to get the discount etc. he calls work at 1:30 to see if i was leaving soon cuz he needed a ride to the mechanic. no release time in site due to a party of 10 coming in an hour late at 2, so i told him to go do what he had to do, i’d call when i was leaving. 5 min later mgr says i can leave soon, only for us to get slammed with one server on. we had almost a full restaurant. probably did more business in an hour today then we did all week. so needless to say, i stayed. didn’t leave til 3:30 and by that time, couldn’t get the discount anymore cuz our contact got out at 3:30…

of course, i call nate at 3:30 and tell him no clue when i’d be getting out, that we couldn’t go shop, but i wanted to go get dinner. as soon as i hang up, i get sent home. so went to nates house to get him, decide what to do etc. came back here to change and find out when we could go to the bookstore, and we ended up taking a nap for 2 hours haha. he’s still sick with a cold and was tired, so we napped til 6:30 and then i treated him to a fancy expensive dinner at ted’s hot dogs 🙂 with 99cent hot dog coupons. big spender i am. ended up renting 12 monkeys, came back here to watch.

middle of the movie someone knocks on my front door. even with nate here, it scared the shit out of me. so i made him come downstairs to see who it was, and it was no one. of course, now i’m freaked out even more. so he went outside to look around and in the backyard, no sign of anyone. he comes back inside and the phone rings. i’m like oh wtf. it was like a scene out of a scary movie haha. turns out it was my neighbor with something for my mom, but then realized i was home and if she was me, she wouldn’t want to be bothered haha. i told her she scared me to death, so she invited me to stay there if i get scared again haha.

so anyway…at one point nate mentioned niger, and how i appear to be doing well with it…or that i hide it well. so i said i hide it well. that was pretty much the end of me, i started to sorta cry. just tears, not like, bawling or anything. but i can’t speak, and could feel him staring at me. it was dark so it took him a bit to realize i was crying, but then he did, and had to twist the knife a bit more by saying “it’s hard for me to leave you here.” yeah, lost it a bit more. he said we could talk about it, but i was in no position to speak coherently so i managed to say “what’s there to talk about?” even tho i have oodles and oodles of things i want to say…he kept making me face him, instead of burying my head in my pillows…haha he said he’s been looking all over for a kung fu hamster for me. mom called in the middle of all this, which killed the conversation basically. there was some other stuff, but not important…spent the rest of the time til i took him home sorta reminiscing, oddly enough, and him trying to be slightly emotional and sweet. had some other sorta bizarre conversations about high school social order hah.

i don’t know what’s going on tomorrow. i don’t work again til thanksgiving night, lucky me. then i work thurs night, fri night, sat swing. and nate leaves 3 days later isn’t that super. nate’s friend is in town for one night only, i asked if i get to meet him cuz he’s the only friend i haven’t met, so i guess i get to be privledged to do something with them for a few hours tomorrow before they do their own thing. that’s fine. don’t misunderstand me, or think i’m mad. cuz i’m not. i’m kidnapping nate on saturday.

i finally saw a picture of nate’s last girlfriend, who he was with for over a year. he said it was a bad picture of them, and that she wasn’t very photogenic, but my god i’m so much better looking than her hahah.

i’m freezing.

 

3-7 inches of snow predicted tonight as it gets colder and the rain freezes. heaviest snowfall predicted during rush hour…maybe it’ll be another city shutting down blizzard like last thanksgiving. er 2 ago. when everyone got stuck in their cars. i’m going to assume we get a dusting.

i forgot to mention. killed a site the other night. macphisto society is dead. it had a good run, it ended. i wrote one last mega killer post for it, caused alot of controversy, so we killed the site 🙂

 

someone had to win tonight’s game…. AND THIS TIME IT WAS BUFFALO!!!!! FINALLY! and we got a new owner too!

waste of a day. did nothing. didn’t really start my day til 2…did nothing, watched tv, watched ghostbusters 2 haha. i ventured out in the snow for taco bell dinner, and to go to the bookstore to get nate’s gift (i figure it’s better to get it when he’s not with me). came back here, continued to do nothing. watched more tv, hockey game, and now i’m sitting here haha. I HAVE SUCH AN EXCITING LIFE!!

tomorrow is kidnapping day. i don’t really know what to do. i want to go photographing (pronounced photog – rafing)…we’ll see how it goes, trying to get to the terminal. if that doesn’t work out, i’m gonna aim for forest lawn cemetery. it did snow a bit (but not even an inch here) so it would be pretty, and i can find stuff to use my black and white film on. but once that is over, who knows. maybe it’ll snow more tonight and we can go make a snow man 😛 hehe. night brings the date with eric and tiff…and no clue what to do for that either. i saw a coupon for this place called Alternative Brews – beer specialty bar…150 beers etc. i know nate would like that, and eric has become a beer conasseur (sp, i know) of sorts too…so that would work, except tiff isn’t 21 so i’m not sure if we’d be able to go or not. they have blues on saturday nights – so i’m figuring they’d be checking IDs at the door and not just if you were ordering alcohol, but we’ll see.

during the game tonight someone came and knocked on the front door – again. i figured it was my neighbor again, nope, it was some strange guy. OF COURSE when i’m home alone. he was petitioning the neighboorhood for environmental crap and wanted me to give him money and i managed to say no. so then he just wanted me to write a letter to the governor and tape it to the door so he could come back and pick it up. so i did. total social psychology at work there. he asks for a donation while i sign the petition, then says they want 60$ so i say no, so he says how about 30$, and i’m like no, so he says anything you can give, and i say no, so he says write a letter. lol. i forget the actual term for that process, but we learned about it. you ask for something really big, that you know you won’t get, so you can ask for what you really want and it seems like not a big deal. i wonder if he came back to pick up the letter…
