************READ PREVIOUS ENTRY BEFORE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THIS ONE*************
Holy crap, two updates in less than 24 hours. But I felt this one is important so here we go. So last night, I'm talking to "Melissa" online. She's talking about how she needed adventure and blah blah blah, Well, after she shot down my idea of her driving to Memphis(She had class, aboo),I told her to come to northbrook. She gave me some crap about how there is nothing to do, and then she was talking about driving to nb, picking me up, and going back to dominican. I was like...for shizzle my nizzle...actually, seeing how everyone who is going to read this knows how lame i am, I should tell you I asked my parents. So anyway, she came and got me, and we drove back to dominican. On the ride, where we had some good conversation (theres an ear for what you say...) I found out that her and Steve were on speaking terms again, and had been for awhile. Yay(that puts me back at mediochre). So we get here, and she had to try on dressess for this thing that they do here, so steve and i hung out in his room...she imed us when she was done and we went up there. For the record, she looked really nice(not to the reader:Melissa usually wears jeans and a hoodie, she said she never dressess up) So steve and I convince her to change and go out with us. It was now about 130. So we go out, and end up at Denny's. Blah blah blah,yadda yadda yadda, its time to go home. Well, Melissa said she was going to sleep on the way back, so she called "back seat" when we got out side. To be a jerk, I hipped her out of the way and sat in back. We both made a few jabs at steve hitting people over the radio(hehehe im glad we can laugh about it now) So we both ended up in the back seat. She was leaning against the door to fall asleep, and then she asked me if she could use me as a pillow. I, of course said no............WHAT ARE YOU NEW? I said sure. I then put my arm over the back of the seat. Said arm began to fall asleep, so I put it on her knee, and told her I would behave(she is very ticklish) Well, thanks to steve's bumpy driving(what are buddies for) my arm ended up around her on her arm. And then the best thing happened...She kind of turned into me. I know I'm lame, but I got really excited. And so that was the night, and, as expected, I was too chicken shit to say anything, because I never know if Im reading signals wrong or what. When we were back in the room, i double checked with steve that it was ok. Which was really cool because, I said, "Steve I just wanted to check..." and he chimed in with "yeah go for it". SO Yay for the car ride, and Two Yays for Steve and I mantaining the psychic link that freaks people out. ANyway. Life is now apparently good.
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right...
Dont really know what to write. Life is boring, except for mon,wed, and fri nights, or when im haning out with steve. So I have maybe 12 hours of fun a week. Boo to the real world. Boo to having to work. Boo to living with my parents(NOTE: living with your parents might be cool, but I said my parents) Yay to annoying people getting fired.(Did I mention greg got fired?)Yay to druggies screwing up so much at work that i feel i should tell the boss. So lets see, thats 3 boos to 2 Yays...im still losing. Ok, gotta think...Boo to not being able to drive yet...wait, that was the wrong direction, crap...um...Yay to 3 people reading my blog...wait, should that be a Yay or boo...I think it was a bit too sarcastic to be a yay...ok...scratch that one, it doesnt count for either side...uhhhhhhhh...oh man this is hard...yay for my dog chasing its tail so much that when he stops, he's dizzy and cant walk straight(he was just doing it)...and then Yay, but only if Dawn actually laughed outloud for that one(Im going to assume you did)...Woohoo, I'm even...I have a medeochre life...crap, that goes in the boo column. Ok, well, I'm bored with this now...going to go watch TV...just remember if you think you have an average life, it probably sucks just a little bit more
I understand the money and the women,but...
So i dont have much to update. My godson got his first communion on sunday. woot woot. that is basically how my weekend went. I didnt really get to see steve too much, he wanted to read alot. he did come by after work yesterday,at 1230. They were doing inventory, and like the sick bastard steve is, he enjoyed it. He came over and we chatted a little. When he was leaving I said I wish I had my car back. To which he replied that i could come to dominican, possibly when steve would be busy, and then go hang out with Melissa. This kind of threw me off gaurd. I mean, I know steve would have told me if liking melissa had bothered him, but I really didnt think he would help me create situations where we could hang out. I was thinking of deleting that last sentence, but I think its important its there. Thats because I guess I didn't think he wouldnt, but i didnt even think about it. A few things made me think about what friendship is.
1) Helping your buddy hook up with your ex-girlfriend
2) Helping a friend understand life, because you've been through it and seen alot of what there is(be it around chicago or around the world)
3) LEt you know that what your saying is complete bullshit, especially if it is and you know it
4) Accepting somebody telling you that what your saying is complete bullshit and moving on
5) That no matter how late it is, or how early you have o get up, you still stay awake and watch the Magnificent 7, or any other really good movie
6) Not only laughing about the drunken/passing out phone calls/emails, but saving them so one can see/hear them later
7) Knowing that no matter what, those people will be there, if not physically, no more than a phone call away.
Obviously this is not a complete list, just stuff I've been thinking about. Until next time...
where have you gone, joe dimagio...
So it's been a while, sue me. I have lots to talk about though. First, I have a job. I love it. My boss is awesome, funny...AND BRITISH. What else can you ask for. I've been there for a little over a week. I know its not long, and a new thing like this is always fun, but i have a good feeling about this job. I mean, I am getting a psuedo promotion. As I understand it, I'm going to learn how to run all the shipping stuff we do. I say psuedo because a)I dont get any money, and b) I dont really move "up" at all. But Dayne says this is where you get promoted from. Now, many people are going to say that its just because im friends with the boss. I thought about that right away, and asked Dayne straight out. He said 30% is that. In my mind that makes sense, because Im trying really hard at this job, which is evident from the gallons of sweat that come pouring from me every day. oh well.
Next thing. The "love" front. So i recently realized that i like someone. I really hate that there is no mature way to really say that. It sounds so Dundee and Willow...i mean 7th grade. But I digress...There are a couple of issues though. Well, maybe only one. She is my BEST FRIEND's ex-girlfriend. thats not the real issue, because we talked about it, and he's ok with it. I know hes not BSing either. The problem comes from an incident last wednesday.
Steve, this girl(who we will call "Melissa"), and myself went to kafein. We were listening to the radio, because that is what you do in the car. There has been a little awkwardness between Steve and Melissa, but nothing they cant handle. Well on the radio, a Melissa Ethridge song comes on. Steve, for whatever reason, can not stand her. Melissa on the other hand, can. So steve goes to change the station, and Melissa, being playful, puts it back. This ensues for a while, and ends with steve "smacking" her hand. I put quotes around that because it was more than a smack, but not quite a hit. Well, for obvious reasons, this upset Melissa. there was very little talking from there to the restaurant, at the restaurant, and on the way home. So now, basically, she doesnt want to be around steve. I know steve wouldnt have a problem with me hanging out with melissa, so thats not the problem. But 1)I have no wheels. 2) Can I really try to enter into a relationship where my girlfriend won't hang out with my best friend(not saying the not hanging out is permanent, but who knows). I need advice. I think Dawn is the only one who reads this, but if anyone else does, please let me know what you think. Otherwise, I could go completely crazy. Wait, arent I there already?
