Not Your Average Jane

Have you ever felt like there was something big just around the next corner but you felt something holding you back, like a flat tire or being stuck in a muddy bog? That’s kinda what I’m feeling right now… Its like there’s a whole world out there and I’m just sort of here watching it. Its like I feel like there’s something huge just around the next corner but fear of the unknown stops me… I don’t like change, I like order (though you wouldn’t think it to look in my car or at home) and structure and schedules… I like knowing where I’m going to be next week or doing next month. I’ve found that’s the best way to control my ADD, by having a structured life… Not strict, I still have plenty of wiggle room for doing fun stuff impulsively, but I like the dependability of having a job and a paycheck and knowing what I’m doing and feeling competent doing it. I haven’t managed to do too many nights since I started working here where I stay up past midnight… I’ve had a handful of days that I have stayed up past midnight… I can seriously count them on one hand. Yeah, that’s kinda interesting, considering what a night person I am. Ok, so there’s the ol’ ADD again, I can’t remember where I was going with that train of thought… Ah, well.
But I was reading Lacy’s blog the other day and she said something that really struck me… She was talking about how she didn’t feel like she was one of the drunk, all over the place concert crowd anymore. And that’s kinda how I’ve felt at the last few shows I’ve been to. Its like the music’s nice and all but I’m not in the front row jamming out anymore… I’m just fine back by the bar, talking or whatever… And I’ve never felt the need to get sloppy drunk, so a drink or 2 will do me for the night and I’m not even buzzed and I’ve usually been hit on more so than if I had been one of the drunken front row chicks…. Strange but I can deal with that… I’ve met some really interesting people that way… Some hotties, some crazies and some just random ass people you’d never think to find in a bar like the Firehouse… Its been more than a little fun… :0)
So my drama from Wednesday… Lordy lordy… That’s resolved itself but I let him off far too easily…. Thursday morning he’s all like we still going out tonight? (After I’d spent much of my morning contemplating hanging him from a ceiling fan by his toenails and other very mean things I could do to him and also trying to think of how to get out of going anywhere with him.) I was like yeah I’m going to the Firehouse… blah blah blah… So he emails me later all like, so if I hadn’t have said anything you wouldn’t hang out with me? Blah blah blah… I told him Firehouse Thursdays were a tradition and he tries to explain to me that while he does have a girlfriend it’s a very recent (as in last weekend they hooked up) development… He’s known her a while, blah blah blah and it just ‘happened’… Yeah ok, sure I can understand that and hes all like I hope you know that means that knows we can still hang out and stuff and be friends, I was just trying to get you to loosen up around me…. (did I mention we spent most of the morning emailing each other?) I told him the me I am at work is TOTALLY different from the me I am not at work… So pretty much by the time he left I’d gotten his phone number and promised to call when I got to the Firehouse.
So get off work, go eat dinner and about 9 head over in that direction… Meet up with Richelle and eventually Adela and Jason show up too… (Chelle’s Jason, not the firefighter Jason that I haven’t talked to in a few weeks.) Richelle called benji and then I did and left a VM… Never did hear from him and I’ve already reprimanded him today…. So it turns out Magee was M.I.A. and there’s some guy named Chad playing… Um, ok… And the longer we sat there and watched him, the better looking he got (must has been the guitar thing). He was ok and Richelle and I got Jackson Taylor CDs for free (we both agree it sucks like a Hoover). So there’s not many people there, none of the regulars except us… Kinda weird but I understand since it was the first night of the cook off…
Speaking of which, I may get to go tonight… Adela’s going to call me later and let me know… It depends on if her firefighter friend has enough passes for me to have one…
So back to the Firehouse Thursday night… So Adela and Jason leave and Richelle and I are thinking about it since we both had to work this morning… I don’t know how it happened but we got adopted into a group of guys… (I think it started with Astros talk) Mostly older and almost all drunk. I figured out that 2 of them are the door guys on weekends… And I also found out Kelly isn’t just the manager of the place but he’s part owner… If the guy I was talking to was correct… So yeah this one guy is trying to do his thing with Richelle and I’m sorta just chilling and watching them (the guys) make fools of themselves… Finally about 12 30 I decide to head out… I’m talking about leaving and the guy (whose name I never found out) is all trying to play with my hands and be all flirty with Richelle standing right there… Yeah that was weird… But he did it so I don’t know if she would have known if I hadn’t have told her afterward.
So I got home at 1 and crashed… Chelle called me to visit on her way home… I barely remember that… I wasn’t sure if I’d dreamed it or not till I talked to her this morning… So yeah now I’m at work and its almost time for lunch… whoo hoo…
Yeah so that’s it… laters.

I’m still kind of processing and trying to think how to express everything I feel and remember about Greenfest and the whole weekend in general so I’m going to hold off on writing about that till I get a better handle on what I want to write…
In the meantime… WORK!!!! So this is the beginning of my third week of work and I already have a conspiracy theory… There’s some very hush hush talk going on between the accounting department and the boss… I have no idea whats going on there but I do have a theory that I’m not going to share until I get a better feel for whats going on or decide its none of my bidness and leave it the heck alone… We’ll see what I decide…
Overall work is awesome… With the exception of the sorta long hours I pull (8 am to 5:30 pm with an hour for lunch). I am usually the first one there and the last one to leave which to me is just odd… But I’m getting used to the schedule and its all good… Though I am going to bed waaaay earlier these days… Like 11 or midnight most nights… And then I usually wake up at about 6:45 and I’m out the door at 10 till 8… Lunch is at 11:30 and I come back at 12:30… I don’t really take breaks, except to go to the bathroom… Most of the time, I’m answering phones, taking care of mail (or other things I’m asked to do), checking to make sure there’s fresh coffee, signing for packages and taking care of faxes… It doesn’t sound like a lot I know but that phone tends to ring once every 10 minutes or so, which doesn’t help if you’re in the middle of something.
But I got my first paycheck last Wednesday. I get paid twice a month, on a Wednesday morning by direct deposit. Whooo hooo. :0)
So I do have a work type situation going on… There’s this guy there, a couple years younger than me (25 – no biggie), hottie galore… And such a doll… And a dork at the same time… I thought when I first started working there he had a girlfriend but I’ve found out he doesn’t… I think I’ve already talked about him a bit… I can’t remember for sure… Ah well… Anyway so we’ve been emailing back and forth since last week… Sometimes if he’s got some downtime he’ll come up and visit with me… He’s still a lil under the weather (poor thing) but he went home for the weekend and we’re planning to go to the Firehouse Thursday… Yeah did I mention that I’d talked him into that? ;0) That’s still tentative, as is getting dinner cooked for me one night… He told me he wants to get me drunk and then take advantage of me… I told him I don’t have to be drunk for that… ;0) And we’ve talked about snuggling post Firehouse too…
Yeah I dig him… The whole office romance thing still makes me a bit apprehensive, but I think that if we did date or whatever, I could handle it if we broke up or something… I’m still friends with most of my exes, so working with him wouldn’t be a problem, post relationship… If we ever even had a relationship… He’s just talking about being friends… But then he tells me what a hottie I am and talks about taking advantage of me… So yeah I’m not really sure he really knows what he wants…
Anyway I’m going to bed…. Laters.

What has to be the lamest pick up line EVER… “My buddies and I have a bet… Is that shirt yellow?” Its especially moronic when I’m wearing a pink shirt… Yeah, I can respect the guts it takes to approach a chick at a bar, but please, guys, DON’T ever start off sounding like an idiot… Just say hello, maybe introduce yourself… If I’m digging ya, I’ll let you know. Though I do have a tendency to be curious about people, so it may seem like I’m interested when I’m not… If I try to touch you, hug you, whatever sort of bodily contact I can try, you know I’m digging ya… I did have to get some help shaking the idiot from Arkansas (yeah I graduated from a college there just to be hit on a guy from there at a bar in Houston of all places) from my wing-woman… (thanks, Chelle :0) ) And the idiot from Arkansas also kept me from hitting on hot boys at the bar… Damn cockblocker… lmao…. And one was one of his friends… HOTTIE MCHOTTERSON!!! :0)
Yeah did I mention I went out with Richelle last night yet? Yeah we met up at the Palace (turns out they close at 10 on Mondays) and had a few beers. This is where the idiot tries to work his ‘magic’ on me… I keep glancing over at his hot friend, willing him to come over, he finally did… He looked so much like Matt (wade’s friend Matt) from last summer…. I couldn’t stop thinking of the ways I’d like to hurt him… His idiot friend kept me from my evil machinations. Damn him.
And then on the way out, another hottie and his friend started talking to us… Turns out one of em was a Jason who was in the Air Force… Yeah that was… Wow. So we were talking to them about going to the Tavern and we went to the Tavern and they said they were going later (they never showed that we know of). Dood this place is right down the street from me and I’ve never been… My God, what I’ve been missing!!!! Tables of poker, lots of TVs on with lots of different choices, open til 2 am, a kitchen open till they close and most importantly it’s a ‘target rich environment’… Wink, wink, nudge, nudge…. :0) So yeah idiot and friends show up and idiot won’t leave us alone till Chelle gives me a hand and he disappears. I just can’t be mean to people…. Its just not in me… So I got home about midnight and crashed.
Today I worked. Yesterday I worked…. Tomorrow I work… Whoo hoo… Thursday and Friday, I work…. Shocking I know… Least they give me the weekend off…. Hehehe… So Thursday night I’m going to the Palace for Josh Ward from 7-9 and meeting Chelle there. Then we’re going over the Firehouse for Ryan Turner (and I’m hoping that hot cowboy from last weekend shows up, but who knows if he will or not). Then Saturday I’m going out to Katy to meet Chelle and carpool with her and Derick to New Braunfels for Greenfest. We’re going to go into Gruene and hit up Lonestarmusic and stock up on new CDs… And Saturday night we’re staying at Lisey’s… I’ve already been informed that I’ll probably be a DD, I don’t care I’m used to it…..
So today is Valentines… the hot young architect with a girlfriend in Louisana has been out sick all week… Poor thing… Mom gave me a huge Godiva chocolate heart and a gift card for Starbucks… :0) I was supposed to watch a movie and eat with B, but that kinda fell through since he got pissed about the fact I wanted to watch Gilmore Girls… Whatever, he’ll get over it… So I went to the grocery store instead and watched Gilmore Girls… Whoo hoo. Its not even 9 and I’m already in PJs… I heart me. :0)
Mom tried to start drama with me last night… First about money… Actually mainly about money… I get paid tomorrow and I mention buying a few new CDs at LSM and she freaks… Geez, I don’t think 2 or 3 new CDs will break me, when I haven’t had a new one since like Christmas… Well except the Color Purple soundtrack I got like 2 weeks ago, but that was more of a reward for getting a job finally… Anyway so she then starts in on how often I go out, even during the week…. And shes back on money… How much is cover, what about drinks, I hope you’re not going broke going out so much… Geez… I told her, most weekdays there is NO cover and I only drink one beer or Smirnoff ice and then switch to water or sprite… That seemed to help a bit… She also went off on me for admitting I played on the internet at work… Geez…. I don’t do anything like download anything, look at porn or blog, the biggies that I hear people get fired for… That didn’t seem to help any… Ah well… She went off on me a few other times but those were the biggies… I wish her menopause was over already and I had already moved out…. Ugh…
Alright I think I’m going to go watch Seabiscuit to end my noneventful Valentines Day. It hasn’t been the worst ever but then I’ve barely even thought about the significance of the day past the pink/red theme and candy stuff… I don’t mind being single, in the last few weeks I’ve really enjoyed the hell out of it… Last night being a night in a series of nights of Chelle and my’s nights of going out and having a ball and somehow attracting men like flies… Or something… lol… Yeah anyway on to Seabiscuit… Laters.

So I’ve decided I’m going to write my blogs from home from now on… Not that I’ve written one while at work since I’ve started my job. I’ve heard too many stories about people who wrote blogs at work getting fired… I know it was mainly for writing trash about the companies they worked at but better safe than sorry…
I have had a great first week at work… Everyone there is incredibly nice and very understanding of any mistakes I’ve made. Friday toward the end of the day, Marcia (the lady that hired me) came by my desk and how I was liking it there so far and if I planned to come back Monday or if they’d completely scared me off… She also said that she was glad she’d hired me and that she was really impressed with how well I’d been doing. I thought that was very cool of her. And I get paid on Wednesday, just in time to go to Greenfest Saturday. Whoo hoo…
About Greenfest… I don’t know why I’m not nearly as excited as I was last year… Maybe cuz I know what to expect this time and its not as new as it was last year? I don’t know… But I’m going and I know I’ll enjoy myself its just I’m having trouble getting worked up about it… Its weird… Ah well.
So as most everyone I’m sure is dying to know about, my weekend recap…
Friday night I stayed in and watched the Olympic opening ceremony and I fell asleep during Paul Walker on Leno… That’s just how tired I was… And I LOVE Paul Walker… Then I slept till like 11 Saturday morning… Mom’s been in Austin all weekend and Linz was over here studying Friday night and Saturday. I didn’t really do anything but watch movies Saturday. Saturday night I went out to the Firehouse and met Adela there. Brandon Jenkins opened for Honeybrowne… I don’t really remember much of it. But I remember I got to hear Texas Angel. Mainly cuz I did what I’ve been doing at a lot of shows lately, I sat back in the back talking. We sat down at a table in the back next to some cowboys (turns out later, they were really cowboys, but I’ll get to that in a second) and we were visiting and people watching. There was a man whore (turns out my ex doesn’t have dibs on being the only man whore in the world…. Lmao…) and some alterno kids (we wound up hanging out with them later that night), and a nasty old guy. Yeah the world needs less nasty old guys… Adela and I were talking about sex and dirty socks and this guy (I didn’t hear him, see him or feel him sit behind me) comes up, sits behind me (like against my back, since I was straddling the bench – EW!!!) and tries to get into our conversation. Adela very politely told him we were in the midst of a private conversation, He still didn’t get the point and I had to keep scooting forward (closer to the cowboys, wink wink nudge nudge) to keep away from him. He finally wandered away (thank God) and Adela and I declared the cowboys (Ben and Rob) part of our group. Turns out Rob (the better looking of the 2 in my opinion) is a real cowboy and he’s in his 2nd year of law school and had graduated from A & M… Holy crap! Plus he was tall and he had an amazing smile. And as far as I know, he’s NOT a musician, doesn’t plan to be, and can’t even play an instrument or sing… Whoo hooo!!!! We were talking and I think I amazed him with what a big baseball fan I am… And we were talking about Valentines Day and I jokingly asked if he’d be my Valentine… Fun times, I tell ya… Before they left (they both had to work today) we were talking about he’s like so do you come here a lot? (Yeah its an old line but I don’t care) I chuckled and I was like its kinda like my second home… He laughed a little at that and he’s like maybe I’ll see you here again sometime soon? I was like well I’ll be here Thursday night… And he told me he may try to come back… That made me smile big time…
So its official its not just when I’m with Richelle that I have awesome boy mojo.
Always good to know… So I was talking to B yesterday and we somehow compared Olympic speed skating to NASCAR… Something about how they went around in circles for long periods of time… Funny stuff…
But yeah the Bud shoot out’s on now and the 500 is next weekend PLUS Spring training starts next weekend so I’m a very happy chica… And I have to go run an errand or 2 so I’m outtie… Laters.

I’m unreasonably anxious now… Tomorrow’s my first day at Spencer and I’m eager to get in there and get a routine established. And then move out eventually… But I’ve just got the first day jitters right now… This is the thing I hate most about acid reflux… I get anxious in the least and my stomach goes bonkers and I can’t eat and I’m lucky if I get much sleep… Then to top it all off I promised Jason since I didn’t go out tonight that we could hang out tomorrow night after I get off work… It started out as me taking a raincheck on going downtown tonight and somehow I wound up telling him to give me a call tomorrow and we could hang out ‘or something’… I don’t remember the last time I went out with a guy that I was really into and its kinda freaking me out… Theres a lot of hesitation because of the situation last night but there’s also the fact that the group of guys that was hanging all over those girls DIDN’T include him… Which reassures me a bit… Not much but enough that I’m willing to try to give him another chance… Plus I don’t know if I mentioned this or not but he’s a hot, snuggly, good smelling, firefighter… Yeah, and as far as I know he’s NOT a musician… He gets bonus points for that one… :0) Who knows I may even have a Valentine on Valentines Day this year… Hehehe… Ya never know right… anywho that’s it for now… laters.

Keeping in mind I wrote most of this last night…

One of my horoscopes today tells me to ignore all the doubts I’m having about someone… It also said that my doubts don’t even merit my concern… But another says to bring my practical side into play. That my discerning judgment is trying to tell me that something or someone in my life is definitely not okay -- but am I listening? Separate the wheat from the chaff.
And yet another said that I’m famous for my jovial generosity and open-minded spirit -- but that doesn't mean I should let anyone take advantage of my better qualities. Don't let someone take me for a ride!
I’d love to do what the first one said and be able to ignore the doubts I’m having, not just about guys, but I’m also a little hesitant about the job… Is that weird? I don’t know if I’ll enjoy it and stuff… And as for guys… There was a whole situation tonight with some of the guys we met the other night at the Firehouse. I have Jason’s phone number right and I text him when Chelle and I get to the Firehouse and then dork I am text Wade… No answer from Wade but Jason text me back that they were at Wild West (its some sort of weekly thing for them… Friday at the Firehouse and Saturday at Wild West… Craziness… Chelle and I were wondering how we never met them before this weekend… ). He was like yall should come here when you’re done there… I’m thinking more fun times along the lines of what occurred the previous night… So Chelle and I stay through No Justice and part of Brandon Rhyder’s set… We come back to mom’s and then I drive us to Wild West and I text Jason we’re on the way and when we get there I text him we’re there… He’s like I’m in the back corner… We can’t find him anywhere but we did find one or 2 of the other guys from the Firehouse and wound up hanging out with them for a few… Then we danced a little and came back to the table where the guys were to find the majority of them enthralled by some Hispanic chicks that were dressed like skanks… I’m not jealous, but if they’d had any less clothing on, they would have damn near have been naked… And they’re all up on each other dancing and all the guys are like enthralled… I don’t know about Chelle but I felt incredibly used… And not in a fun way… They pretty much ignored us in favor of the skanks… When we had been the center of their attention not 24 hours before... That’s not cool. We still haven’t seen Jason yet so we wander around a little… We realize that a bunch of people we’d seen at the Firehouse earlier were at Wild West… And I began to realize I’m entirely too old for the club scene… We come back to the guys table and they’re still all into the Hispanic chicks and then I see Jason toward the back of the group. He comes over and says hey and asks where we’ve been… We talk for not even a minute I get a hug and he’s all like I’ll be right back… Yeah that was the last I saw of him for the rest of the time we were there… We both got tired of their shit and went to the House of Pies… I always forget about how crowded it gets after all the bars close… Chelle eats like a full meal and I munch on toast and hot chocolate… We’re shooting the shit and stuff till like 3 this morning… We decided that maybe Jason’s ignoring of me (whether intentional or not) may have been some form of revenge for what happened the night before…. Or he could have just had something else to do, ya never know… Then we came back to the house and Chelle headed home… I woke up at like almost 1… Chelle called a lil while later and we visited… And then guess who started to text me? Jason. He’s all like what are you doing? (I said hanging out with my family) A few texts later he’s like I’m getting in the hottub… Dammit I thought at first it may be a booty call, then I thought maybe he wants to ask me out or apologize for last night, and now its back to being a booty call… I have never been booty texted before… I guess theres a first time for everything… Dammit man. I fibbed a lil and told him I was hanging out with my fam at least til the game started and we hadn’t hung out much lately (we really haven’t even though I live at home)… He’s all like ok, call me later… I being the idiot I am was like ok talk to ya laters… So now its kinda like what the heck? Does he want to hang out or is it a booty call? Ugh… Richelle suggested that maybe he doesn’t seem me as some random whore (ie those Hispanic girls from last night) and perhaps wants to date me? I don’t know… So yeah that’s all I got for now… Laters.

Man, what a night I had last night… I can honestly say that, I have never experienced anything so crazy before… Not even with the Marines I used to hang out with… And that’s saying something… So what did I do that was so insane? Well I went to the Firehouse for the 2nd night in a row, nothing out of the blue there… I met up with Richelle and had a few drinks and listened to Ryan Turner… Still nothing unusual there… We’re sitting around talking and laughing and this group of guys (about 8 or so) we’ve been checking out, asks us to take some pictures of them as a group… Not a prob at all… Somehow we get invited into their group… I’m not complaining AT ALL… There was Justin, Jason, Cory, Phil, Carlos, Bill, one guy they called Tennessee (guess where he was from? Lol…) and a few others I can’t remember the names of right now…. As it turns out they were all firefighters… Richelle and I hear this and she’s on the floor she’s laughing so hard… And we’re both like we hit the motherlode… After all the talking and joking about firemen we’ve been doing in the last couple of weeks, to be absorbed into a group that big with me and Richelle as the only girls was ironic and awesome all at the same time… And they all wanted to constantly smell me because of my body spray… Again I’m not complaining, I got a kick out of it… Hot guys want to get up close and personal, who am I to tell them no? So we’re all kind of talking as a group and then somehow Chelle kind of pairs up with Cory and I’m kind of paired up with Jason… Again no complaints. I won’t mention about when the Jack Daniels girls showed up and somehow everyone of us wound up with blinking Jack Daniels stickers in inappropriate places…. Good fun… Jason tells me he’d been thinking about buying me a drink and coming over earlier… I was like that’d have been nice… All nonchalant and stuff… Then Rob, this guy Chelle and I know from the Thursday night thing with Magee and Brett shows up… THAT’S when things got reallllly interesting… Boy howdy did they! So Jason has random periods where he goes off and does his own thing… No big, we’re not involved or anything… Jokingly every time before he went off, he’d be all like “Now don’t go cheating on me…” It was funny until Rob showed up and started getting all territorial male on me… I was like what the heck? I was just kinda standing there, doing my own thing and he’s like all up behind me trying to snuggle… Ok, so I like snuggling and I indulged him and I probably shouldn’t have… Ah well, we live and learn… So every time Jason comes back he kinda looks at me like what the hell? And all I can do is shrug helplessly. He tried to talk to me a couple of times but Rob sort of shouldered himself in between us, like he was staking his claim or something… I’m like chill out, dude, I’m my own damn person… I’d rather do Magee than you, sorry… Damn did I just say that? Yeah… All Rob does is sit around and like mope on Thursday nights, he doesn’t really talk to anyone… Magee, while not classically the most attractive of guys is funny and that serves to make him more attractive… At least to me… Maybe cuz he reminds me a bit of B… All scruffy and longhaired guitar player with a silly side… I also met a girl who knew my last ex and we traded notes on him for a little bit… I’m not as passionate about my disgust for him as I used to be I noticed… I’m almost indifferent to him… Kind of odd but nice at the same time… Anyway, so I get a call from Nay while I’m in the bathroom… He and Raul broke up again and he’s in tears all by himself… I come out of the bathroom and I go back by the pool table to talk to him some more… While I’m back there, Jason comes back there and he’s looking at me all puzzled… So I’m trying to calm Nay down, and reassure Jason at the same time… Nay was on his own so I offered to come over… I needed out of all the testosterone manly manness… I love guys but theres only so much machismo I can take in one night… Before I left the Firehouse however, Jason gave me his number… He’s like are you going to use it? I was all nonchalant and flirty when I replied, “I might..” He’s like why should I give it to you then? But he gave it to me eventually and I’m thinking I may use it… Lord knows I love a guy with tattoos and piercings and I love me some firefighter and I adore hot guys and he smelled amazing to boot… and he’s all of that… And I dig the fact he was very straight up with me. He acted like an ass but he apologized every time he did something ass-ish… Which I thought was nice… So on the way out I said goodbye to the firefighters and Rob and Chelle… Chelle tells me Rob’s got the hots for me and that he’s a really nice guy… And I need to make an instant decision about him… I guessed he did because of all the Neaderthalism but she confirmed it…. I got an offer to go home with one of the guys (Justin – one of the first ones I had checked out cuz of the UT hat and he was yet another hottie) on my way out that I just laughed it off… Then I forgot my coozie and had to come back in and get it and repeat all the goodbyes a lot faster than the first time… Get in the car, Hate Me comes on 96.5 and I turn that shit up and get all excited… Get to Nay’s a little while later and meet up with Sean and B in the parking lot, we go in and Nate’s watching the Notebook… We all looked at each other and quickly hussled him to the House of Pies… Its like our war room I swear…. Make us the U.S. government and I swear we’d solve all the worlds problems if we had a House of Pies in the White House… Anyway so we go back to Nay’s and I head home a little while later… I looked at the clock when I climbed into bed and it said 4:03 am… Good God… I haven’t been up that late in forever… I then wake up at 7 to my mom getting up and again at 9 to my text messages going off… I reply to Richelle’s text and she calls me back and fills me in on what happened after I left… It turns out the firefighters went wild (sounds like a good movie to me ;0) ) and Rob turns out to be a bit of a prick. She didn’t really expand on the firefighters but it turns out that Rob had hit on her after being all up over me, after I left. He got a ride home from her and admitted to her that he’d had a thing for both of us for a few weeks… Richelle was like but you never say much of anything to us and you were just hitting on Ali, now you’re hitting on me, what the heck? He defended himself by saying that I had hit on him! I’m surrounded by hot firefighters and I went out of my way to hit on lil old him… And he did this all in order to try to hook up with Richelle… What a lying ass… At least Jason was up front with me and knew when he was being an ass. Rob was one of those I thought I may give chance cuz sometimes you never know and Richelle had told me what a nice guy he was… Yeah not so much…
So Brandon Rhyder is playing at the Firehouse tonight and I think I might go… We’ll see… Oh… I almost forgot, but I think almost everyone knows already… I got a job! I had an interview Wednesday at an architecture firm off of Shepard and San Felipe. I thought it went great and the lady told me she really liked me but she had 2 other people to interview on Thursday and she’d call and let me know on Friday… So she called Friday and offered me the job of receptionist. I start Monday at 8 am and its full time with benefits after 3 months. Mom and I agreed if I still like it after 3 months and I’m off probation so that I can use their insurance then we’ll look for an apartment for me somewhere around here, since I like the area… So till at least April I’m living here it looks like… But almost every weekend in February either I’m out of town or she is, which should help keep the stress between us to a minimum… So yeah I’ve pretty much been out every night since Wednesday… Makes me debate whether to go out tonight or not, but I think regardless of what I say I’ll probably wind up going… I’m not the biggest Brandon Rhyder fan but I realllllly want to see if Wade shows up or not… :0) Or Josh or his brother… Anywho… I’m going to go eat lunch I think… Laters.
