it seems like i say this every other weekend, but, seriously, i just had the best_weekend_*EVER*!. =D i got some help on saturday with putting up the office decorations, but it turns out i didn't buy enough stuff, so it still looks unfinished in some places. but on the places that are finished, it looks great! i did the arts & crafts thing with the stockings and they look (relatively) nice. lots of glue and glitter all over the place, but, in the end, they came out looking pretty good (considering i'm not at all artsy, and haven't glued or glittered anything since i was six). i was supposed to wake up early this morning to get more stuff and come in and finish decorating before anyone got to work. but like a dumbass, i didn't set my alarm clock correctly and was lucky to even make it to work on time. and it seems like some of the people here at work are a little jealous of the extra effort i put forth on behalf of my friends, but hey, if i do it for everyone, it starts losing its specialness. on saturday night, the girls and boy and i went out to dinner at the olive garden except we didn't know that thats where we wanted to eat and so we ended up driving around the disneyland area for an hour talking and laughing and taking turns hurting each others feelings. we didn't really have anything planned for the rest of the night and seeing as how it was so incredibly clear and unseasonably warm out, we decided to go to the beach. and here's a tip for beating the crowds at the beach: go at night. so what if the beach is "closed" after sundown? and sure, there isn't any "sun" or "lights" for that matter, but where else can you go if you want to see the stars? the observatory? pfft. we all had so much fun trekking across the sand, trying to not fall down (some fared better than others) and whilst some people elected to take their shoes off, i kept mine on (keeping my feet warm and dry in the process). ahhh, i'll have memories of that night until we do it again this friday. sunday was a big errand day; i needed to wash the car and go shopping for presents (presents being stuff from the gap 'cos i had a 30% off coupon that needed to be used or be lost forever)...so i'm at the gap and i'm looking for jeans and that's when i met this really, really helpful sales girl. usually i'm pretty dense when it comes to girls hitting on me ('cos it happens only every, oh, couple years or so) and so when she was being overly helpful ('maybe we have that size in the back, let me check'...'we don't have it in stock, but maybe i can order it for you online') and overly friendly ('that scarf really looks great with your eye color and hair color'...'i really like how you dress'), i just thought that maybe she just really liked to help people. but then i noticed that she was trying to make conversation and she was smiling a lot and then i realized that she was *flirting* with me. ohhh. and even though it was really busy in the store, she talked to me for ten minutes whilst i was trying out scarves, and then she stood with me in line for another fifteen minutes. we talked mostly about music (she likes singer songwriter-types and is an aspiring musician herself) and then we exchanged phone numbers and she walked me out. i'm gonna call her soon, but i think i'll wait the requisite three days. heh. it's amazing how quickly things can change. i'm so excited about the things that have been happening lately, and even 'tho it's too little, much too late to save this from being a bad year overall, i'm optimistic that this is the beginning of something good for 2002. i couldn't even get to sleep last night 'cos i was just so excited about everything and extraspecially with me turning 21 in ten days (AHHH!! TEN DAYS!! AHHH!!). i knew this was going to happen, this feeling that things are starting to move too quickly, but i think i'm ready. only time will tell. |
