I’m Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay, Watching the Tide Roll Away….

I need to start writing these before I get in bed; I’m always so tired!

Not much happened today. I went to the Homeless Depot and bought some lightbulbs. I went through the self-checkouts because the other lines were huge. I chose Spanish, just for fun and because I can actually understand it. The ‘attendant’ or whatever you want to call her came over after I was done and was like, ‘OMG IS THAT IN SPANISH!?’ and I just said, ‘Hah, yeah it’s more fun.’ We laughed and I walked away. Little did I know that she completely surprised me and I forgot my change. I drove the 12 or so minute drive to Rite-Aid to buy one of those button batteries for my dad. While walking through the store, I realize that I have a total of $3 instead of $18. I bought Altoid’s with the money I had and went out to my car to look for the other money. It was then that I realized that I probably didn’t take it from the machine at Home Depot. I FLEW back there, driving like crazy. I went in the exit and went up to the lady by the self-checkouts. It was a different one, and I didn’t see my money in the change slot. I said, ‘Hi, I was here like 20 minutes ago, and I think I left my change here. The girl came over and we were talking and it totally threw me…’ etc etc, and she asked me how much it was. I said $15 and she unlocked some secret storage thing and gave it to me. It was a 10 and 5 stapled to a piece of paper that said ‘cust. forgot change.’ I’ve never seen someone staple a note to money. So I later had ripped money. And on the way out of the parking lot, I managed to cut the same guy off twice within like 8 seconds. Not sure how, but I did.

After that, I went to Fosh’s party with Max. It was fun there :D

But now I must sleep.

You’ve Got You To Blame For What You Do

I’m super tired to this will be a quick blog. And I hit my head on the corner of a table so it hurts =(

Today was fun; after work I went to Jer’s and we went to Buffalo Wild Wings, his mom’s, and then back to his apartment. We played ping-pong! I totally won. He bought me an early one-month anniversary present, a book on how to use a MAC – its perfect. :D I know what I’m getting him, but I’m aiming to give it to him on the 29th lol.

I was really not feeling good once I decided to go home, and by the time I was almost home, I was barely awake while driving. Like, I remember driving but it was completely automatic by me.

If you’re listening, sing it back…

Today was fun. I’m very tired though, stupid mono. :[ This morning, I went to lunch & shopping at Southpark with Jer. Let me reiterate that I don’t like Panera. The first time I ate there, I got a chicken sandwich. Who serves grilled chicken cold? I specifically asked the cashier if the chicken was hot on the sandwich she suggested and she said yes. I get it, and after taking off the bacon and tomato, take a bite and realize that the chicken is cold. It’s spicy hot, not temperature hot. I can’t win.

Then we go to H&M where I buy one shirt (which later turns out to be too small, his fault) and a pair of $6 sunglasses that I don’t think I like anymore. He bought like three shirts and three pairs of pants. $17 vs $112. I didn’t buy anything in any other stores, and I don’t think he did either. We went home and watched Shawn of the Dead until he had to leave for work.

I went online to Lynda.com and started watching PHP Object-Oriented Programming videos again. I think I finally understand its usefulness. I hope. There’s a ton of videos and I’m still on the basics, though. T_T

I went to see Transformers 2 (again) with Angela. I love that movie! Unfortunately I got tired and sorta wanted to leave, so the ending wasn’t as good. I also realized that it looked a bit too animated at parts. I guess you can’t make the entire thing perfect. After the movie was more fun. I got a hot chocolate and we went out to sit in her truck. She said that her dad had been using her radio (she doesn’t; she always has CDs) so we programmed the radio stations to static. FM1 & FM2 are exactly the same, also. Once my hot chocolate was gone, I set my trucks alarm off so we could find it and drop me off. I jokingly said ‘race ya home?’ so she jumped in her truck and took off ahead of me. I figured that I’d go up granger hill and take 480 home, the freeway always seems faster. Before I even got off of Canal Rd, I realized that I had left my phone in her truck. I don’t know why but I felt like I needed it badly, and having just seen Transformers, I wanted to drive like I was on a mission. Maybe its a guy thing. In either case, 4 minutes and several risky driving maneuvers later, I caught up to her. There was a car in front and behind her, and we’re on a 2 lane double yellow line road. I moved into the oncoming traffic lane and flashed my lights like five times. I guess she saw, because she pulled over at the next side street. She told me that she called my mom (thanks Angela :D ) and also called me, not being her most intelligent move. At any rate, I have my phone back.
