he bought me a kung fu hamster.

so last night was good. i did nothing all day, headed out to nate’s house around 9. i gave him my going away present, and he had one for me too. as i said, the kung fu hamster, and this peppermint bark candy that is 20$ at williams sonoma but we saw cheaper when we went to premier last week. so after all that, we went to hard rock for band night. saved a table for the rest of the crew who showed up around 10. nothing else went as planned last night. first of all the plan was to do HRC to see Lucid and That 80s Hair Band and then rumors for dancing with the bonus parents. turns out rumors is closed on wednesdays, so plan B became going to HRC then the casino and maybe the hard rock club. well Lucid didn’t play…instead this crappy ass awful angry girl punk crap band played. they were so. fucking. bad. probably the worst band i’ve ever seen my entire life. they had a girl who’s sole job was to hula hoop, and dance badly, and every now and then play something like the tambourine or triangle…and to give out lollypops and throw tampons into the audience. it was awful. it was painful. that 80s hair band was good though.

we left before the band finished to go to the casino. we were all going to drive…that is until i got to the bridge and saw how backed up it was. nate and i went back to park and started walking across the bridge, but then adr called and said they weren’t going to wait on the bridge and it was too cold to walk – so it was off to dennys instead. we met them at dennys, had some food, and departed. nate and i came back to my house to chill for a while, watched some tv etc. took him home around 4. that was his self imposed curfew since his mom is making them all go to church today…at 9 am…which i don’t understand cuz it’s not a religious holiday. but whatever. sucks to be him.

so it was a good time. had fun. nate got to say goodbye to some HRC people. i finally got to straighten out my work stuff with the new casino job…oh yeah, guess how many hours i am scheduled next week… zero. isn’t that fantastic?

tuesday i’m going to the airport to say goodbye to nate. i wasn’t sure how that was going to work, i didn’t know if i was going to be working, when his flight was, or if he wanted me to go. but he asked me last night. he doesn’t really know what’s going on or who’s taking him (maybe his whole family, maybe just his dad), but his flight is ungodly early, so i’d have to like…leave to get to the airport at like 6am. he goes to philadelphia for 3 days to get orientated, and injected and prepared. then he flies to paris, then niger. it’s going to be awful haha. i’m glad i don’t work.

anyway. turkey today. happy thanksgiving to everyone. i work at 4, lucky me. even tho they keep saying it’ll be busy, and this weekend will be busy i’m finding it hard to believe. but whatever.

worked 3.5 hrs today, and made more money today than i did all last week. found out we got double time today since it was a holiday. isn’t that fabulous. there were 2 of us on tonight and i volunteered to leave when she made cuts. i didn’t feel like being there anymore. larry kept almost making me cry. carolyn and kurt stopped in to say hi for about a half hour.

and now i’m home. i have nothing to do, no where to go, nothing is open, i feel like just going to bed. i guess i’ll see what’s on tv. i gotta remember to tape the u2 special tomorrow night. who knows what work is going to be like, but all i know is that i’m leaving first. i’ll beg the girl. i’ll cry. i don’t care.
