Can I just say I love working at VS? Yesterday I was there from 1-9pm. Honestly, I was considering calling out because I just felt awful when I finally got out of bed. I’m still rather sick but it’s only terrible when I first wake up… But I figured it wasn’t a good enough reason to skip out on work entirely, especially since I was closing.
So I got there and Lauren and Diana were working., which made it all the more awesome to be out on the floor. I was taught how to use the register, how to do sales, exchanges and returns, using checks, coupons and what not and it wasn’t as awful as I thought it would be. Lauren agreed with me that part of my fear and distaste of it stemmed from working at Jasmin Sola.. where I had received no training whatsoever and compared to this environment, JS was mean. Here at VS, I feel welcomed and liked despite the fact that I’m not much of a conversationalist while working. Not yet anyways.
I loved working at the register, actually! Interacting with the customers and asking them if they found everything okay and how they were doing… which is really odd. I’m not much of a people person in situations like that… and to top it all off, our sales went better and doubled from the day before.
Heather, our new CSL, and I were the only ones closing that night. It was kind of intimidating at first and nerve wracking especially since she was relatively new herself but she’s really easy going and shes a sweetheart. Although she’s adorable she’s a great employee and you cant mistake her sweetness for weakness. She can be quite commanding but never in a horrible fashion.
While I was at work, Steve had called me half an hour before my break so naturally while I was actually on my break I gave him a call. He had apologized for missing my call the night before, and explained that he had fallen asleep. I didnt mind and I told him so. He asked when Iw as getting off of work and when I told him 9 he seemed a bit disappointed, because he had class and was working until 1:30am just like my shift on Sunday, so he wouldnt be able to see me that night… and he’s really busy this entire week. He let me know though that he would let me know when he’s free so we could hang out~
He also left me a voicemail from the first missed call which I have saved because he sounds so cute.
When I got home, Kyle texted me after he got home from class. His computer went lame so he’s been trying to fix it. We got into a tiff. I don’t remember what it was about really but I remember confronting him about going to D-brown whenever him and I had an altercation. It turns out that he’s been going to her whenever he fights with mea and she’s beginning to find it creepy and is no longer attracted to him. She’s even said to him before that he’s with me and he shouldnt be going to her like that… and at first when I was told this, I didn’t entirely believe it. When you hear things like that from somebody else… I dunno, it’s hard to believe. But it was confirmed from a very reliable source… so thats very upsetting that he’s been lying to me this whole time, and trying to keep one of my friends on the back burner.
So when you look at it, he’s really just a Luis. Can I pick em or what?
After a while I didnt want to argue anymore and I changed the subject. Angry text messages never solve anything anyways. He then asked me what time I would be up tomorrow and asked me if I wanted to go to lunch around noon before he went to class. To be honest, I didn’t really want to… but I told him that if I was up, then sure. Besides… what could be the harm?
I was actually afraid he’d be overly affectionate with me and call me babe and hun and try to hold my hand and all these things that I normally dont like.
But this morning he texted me and said he didnt have time. So I had nothing to worry about.
Today I havent done much either. Around 630 I went to Borders in hopes that I could find a book to read, then go to Michael’s and buy some felt to make more plushes. Lauren suggested I read Twilight, and really I dont want to because everyone is going nuts over it and theres already a movie on its way… but then its super popular for a reason, so might as well give it a shot… I also wanted to buy Kieli vol 2. Unfortunately thats not out yet.. Amazon lied…
So yeah, went to Borders but they didnt have Twilight, they had like… New Moon or something which I think is the 3rd book… I dunno. And like I said, Kieli isnt out yet. I was going to go to Michaels but I wasn’t sure just yet… I wanted to get the book before anything else and I figured that I would just go to AC Moore since its so much closer to my house. So I skipped Michaels and went to the Borders at the mall… there were like 8 copies of Twilight and the sequel to it so I got one and walked around for a bit. I saw one of those books that have blank pages with questions and you answer… basically its a book about your life. I had bought one years ago and never finished it. I was interested in trying it out again, because I figured I would have more interesting answers this time… but I decided against it. Maybe another time. So I purchased Twilight, along with some japanese cookie filled with chocolate called “Hello Panda”. I used to have these, along with Pocky and other treats all the time.
I walked around the mall for a bit, trying to remember what else it is that I wanted to do… I kind of wanted to stop by Blue Moon in hopes of finding another voodoo doll like the cupid and devil I have… and maybe buy one for Steve but I wasnt sure if he would think its cute… then I wanted to go to Hallmark and possibly by a cute little halloween thing but then I wouldnt know why or what to get… then I wanted to go to Macy’s and buy myself another pair of skinny’s… but I didnt remember this until I was already outside.
So I went to call Mike so I could pick up my Wii and I end up calling Steve but halfway through the first ring I hung up. I didnt want to seem desperate to see him… but he called me back right away and asked how I was and what I was up to. I let him know, and then he asked me if I was doing anything tomorrow because he’s free after 2… so I told him I was working at 9 and wasnt sure until what time but that I would let him know and he would figure out something to do. But since tomorrow is wednesday Im pretty certain he wants to go to Tisane, which is perfectly fine with me. Besides, it doesnt seem like Everett is going to be having anymore wednesday parties… which doesnt matter anyways because I would rather hang out with Steve then go through the awkwardness of being around Everett. I love the guy (as a friend, mind you) but for some reason I dunno. It’s just strange being around him after the last time we hung out so late together…
So yeah called Mike, and picked up my Wii. He’s under the impression that Everett is moving out… and he’s pretty much right. His computer, bed and clothes were all gone. So he’s pretty much slowly moving out without even telling Mike or anybody… so Mike is a bit upset. :/
He invited me to hang out at Essex but I told him I had work early and just headed home… on my drive home, I went a different route home and took exit 39 and drove through Meadow Rd… where I used to go through all the time to get to wherever it was Luis wanted me to take him or pick him up from. I had always liked going through that road back in the day because its just a rather long road amongst cornfields and its always very dark at night and I like that… but this time when I drove through, it actually physically hurt. I could feel the chest pains coming back again, and this time they were pretty bad. I havent had them much lately. It seems when Im out working I dont feel them at all but when Im at home theyre horrible. And anything that involves Luis, seems to bring them back. Which is rather odd since he’s finally out of my life…
Dad was getting ready to go to work. He’s working from 9pm to.. around 7am or later tomorrow. I felt kind of bad and told him that if he needed anything to just call and he assured me not to worry. Mom is also staying over tonight but she accompanied him to the job sight and should be back… in about an hour (1am). Before Dad left he told my mom to take it easy and that he didnt want her working at the job because she’s been really sick and has had some blood clotting issues. when I heard this I joked and said we were all falling apart; Dad with his back pain and constant dizzy spells, mom with her on-going period (its been on 2.5 weeks now…) and me with my severe chest pains. Thankfully Dad joked with me and said my chest pains were probably due to being in love. At that we both laughed and he ruffled my hair like I was a toddler…. thats what I miss… we seemed normal for a couple minutes.
Ive been reading Twilight since and watching tv and much to my disappointment Ive encountered a name I’m not too fond of in this book; Jessica. Theres a character in the book with that name when whenever that name appears in a page, sometimes more than twice, no matter where I am on the page, I can always see that name and its like it’s highlighted. On the periphery of my vision, all words around that name are blurred and it seems like that name is 3x the size of the rest of the font on the book. Like its laughing at me. Another painful reminder of things I want to forget and put behind me but something (and it sure as hell is NOT me) just doesnt want me to forget about it. If I had it my way, I would have had this disgusting memory erased along with my entire childhood…
But I bought the book, I’m gonna finish it regardless of that names appearance and how much I’m really not into the book… or rather, I’m STARTING to get into it. It started off slow but it seems Im starting to fall for Edward Cullen’s charm in this book. He seems like me, in that he warns the person he cares for that he’s dangerous and he should stay away. It’s funny, I’e done that so many times but the opposite always happens… He’s a Lovely Sin, just like me~ <3 I came first though.
