But I hate looking like a pig in front of david's friend's, so I only had one.
but it was ~good~.
mmmm...
I went job hunting yesterday with one of the guys I used to work with. Neither he nor I still work at the hospital, but we chat pretty much every day. He's ok w/ being unemployed, since it gives him more time to work on his poetry and play guitar. He's kinda a modern day hippie, w/ a goth twist.
We're supposed to play some Socom 2 later, so I'm looking forward to that. I never did buy that wireless adaptor for my ps2, so looks like I'll have to run an ethernet cord through the apt again.
*sigh*
I just hope squish refrains from chewing this one up - David'll kill me if I let it happen again. lol.
So we went to lots of places yesterday, and since I don't get out much, I managed to make a ~complete~ fool out of myself. Loads of times.
At Barnes & Noble I decided to fill out my app in the science fiction section, which is not too far from the gay & lesbian section, and then I said something a bit louder than I should have. *sigh*
At Michael's (this craft shop) I saw a whole set up of pez and I blurted out "PEZ!!!" really loudly. All the old white ladies in line and the one white man turned to stare at us (I do believe we were the only minorities in the entire store). We ended up buying a couple of kites - strawberry shortcake (to match my watch) and a teenage mutant ninja turtles one too.
Oh! Btwn walking to Michael's from B&N there was this dead bird that wasn't much more than just a pile of ruffled feathers. Now I know this is gonna sound sadistic, but one of his little legs had gotten detached from his body and was just laying there up beside it's head. And I thought it was funny. If I'd had my phone I'd have taken a pic.
.oO(wow I'm pretty messed up)
At Hasting's we were ordering some cold coffee when I asked Javier if he's ever had BAWLS before. I was absurdly loud so everyone in the little cafe looked at me like I was interested in Javier's crotch. *rolling eyes* And the guy behind the counter... I dunno... he started blushing. I was ~so~ embarrassed. And then later I was ragging on how lame guys and their pick up lines can be, so I told Javier about the whole "I think it's cool you play Tekken," line I was getting before I bought my ps2. So then Javier kept getting up and standing next to me and shuffling his feet and avoiding eye contact and saying "I think it's cool you play Tekken." lol.
Oh and we went to Toys R Us and I filled out my app sitting in a kiddie pool (that's what that is on my moblog).
And we stopped by Bed, Bath, and Beyond and also by Pier 1, mostly just to look at the stuff they have (to get ideas for the house) but also to apply.
I was watching tv last night... kinda dozed off. When I woke up it was ~ 2200. I grabbed my kite and ran down the stairs all stoked. See, I've never flown a kite. According to david these are really cheap kites (only $1.50 - so what'd he expect?) and they're not gonna work real well.
I am determined, though. Well I was last night, anyway.
I spent about 15 mins down there before david went down. Then we spent maybe 10 minutes or so trying to get it to fly. Truth be told, we are not very good at this game. Maybe if there was more of a breeze or something... all I know is it wasn't working like they do in Mary Poppins.
But then again... I don't think there's too much that'd work like things do in Mary Poppins.
lol.
Eek! Must grab the neice and go by home depot!
(I'm kinda disappointed about the whole house thing now, but I'll blog about that later)
