Sunday, Monday, Happy Days

Actually had a date last night - I can't remember the last time I went on a legitimate date because every other guy I've "seen" or "been involved with" has been a friend first and so everything was just hanging out and spending time together, rather than an actual date. It went pretty well; the guy was very nice and funny and there were no awkward silences and we laughed a lot, that's important. He was great, but I'm not sure if I felt any sparks, but then again, it was a first date and it's pretty hard to feel sparks when you're making conversation about each other's lives. There are sparks, however, but not with this one. The one with sparks really intrigues me. I don't know what makes sparks and what doesn't, but I do know when a relationship (or friendship, or accquaintance, or whatever you want to call it) has sparks, and when it doesn't. There's a possibility of sparks with one, and definite sparks with another. I just have a feeling that "sparky" will end up being in the friendship circle, rather in the dating one, even though that's not what I want and it doesn't seem to be the direction he's heading. If he asks me out, then it'll all be downhill from there. So, here's hopin'. I'll just actually fight for it this time because I'm tired of being so let down because I never fight for it. At the bar, with Trevor (that's the other one), I fought for it because there were a couple other girls that were trying to catch his eye, but we had been dancing for a couple of hours together already and whenever I got back to the dance floor from the washroom or the phone or whatever, I made a point to bee-line to him to shun those other girls out. Haha, Brad noticed some major attitude from one of the girls because I won, so HA. But it just goes to show you (or me, rather) that if I actually make an effort, something will come of it. Hmmm what a novel idea.



They're playing some really awful 80's music right now.
My gum is totally dead in my mouth.
The radio is about a foot away from my left hand.
The gum, as I said before, is in my mouth.
I'm not changing the station, nor am I spitting the gum.
This tells you how lazy I am right now.
Just in case you were curious.

Sunrise, Sunset...

I was an hour late for work this morning. I knew it would happen, too. I woke up at 3:15am, fully awake, and decided that I didn't have to have my alarm across the room, so I put it next to my bed. Mistake. I sleep through my alarm all of the time when it's beside my bed, so what did I do? Slept through it. I woke up to the sound of the phone ringing and automatically, without even looking at the clock, I knew that I had slept in. It really wasn't that big of a deal when I got to work, because really, look at how tough my job is, I just felt badly of course. To make matters "better", the printer wouldn't work this morning and so we were running around trying to fix it, so that delayed my printing and my reports. I just like to get everything done first thing in the morning and so I was getting quite annoyed. But, that all sorted itself out and again, I was done at 11am.
They were actually just playing "Sunrise, Sunset" from the Original Broadway cast of Fiddler on the radio - it made me laugh and honestly made my day, haha. Who plays "Sunrise, Sunset"?? I thought it was an appropriate title, though...stupid sleeping.
I also forgot to bring money today, so I have to go and bolt to Subway on my lunch break and I'm starving! AND I have to pay $20 for parking because I missed the 'early bird' rate and, obviously, missed the bus. Man I love complaining.
But, I'm going to see Full Monty tonight, so I'm really looking forward to that! Haha I'm nervous, and excited. I won't know where to look because I'm so close with all the 'strippers'! (Now how awful does THAT sound??). Oh well, I'm excited none the less.
Tomorrow we're going to see it again (it's me, of course I'm going 1,000 times) and then going out to the STRAIGHT bar. I know, I couln'd't believe it myself. So excited - it had better be nice out.
Ok, enough rambling. This doesn't even have any strange quotes or hidden meanings or anything...just me blabbering. Deal with it.



This computer screen is MASSIVE.
When I'm reading my blog on the computer,
the picture of the flowers is bigger than my head.

What Goes Around

Well well well...who knew that blogger would ever come in so handy? I haven't used this thing in a very long time, and now, I'll rely on it to keep me occupied at work. This is one of the only "popular" websites that I've found that hasn't been blocked by the Fairmont. Thank goodness. What usually happens is that I finish all of my task list by about 11am and then have nothing to do but answer phones and find little things to keep me occupied until I'm done at 3pm. Today, it's been making a birthday card for one of our bellman. It's taken me a ridiculously long time to make, but that's because I have nothing else to do, so I've been coloring with gel pens that we found, then whiting them out because it looked attrocious, then coloring again...just an endless cycle, really. I know it may not sound like it, but I'm really loving this job. Yes, it is much slower paced than Starbucks (what isn't?), but it's a welcome change....and a very big one at that. The people here are out of this world and I feel as though we've all known each other for longer than we have - it's a great atmosphere. That and I get to talk to/give wake-up calls to celebrities all the time, which is really exciting!
I'm taking the bus to work, which again, is a welcome change. Yes, I said a "welcome change". I think that I'm enjoying this job so much because everything about it is so different than my last job; no more driving to work, no more running around, no more burning myself on milk, no more dishes from the sanitizer. Nope. Now it's sitting in a little office with the radio, a computer and of course, the phone. It's so relaxing, but I don't think I could stay here forever. I'm excited to be moving up to the front desk, which should be happening in about a month. That will be great.
So, love is in the air, hey? It seems that my One has found love (in the form of an AMAZING guy and I could not be happier for the both of them), my JayBay has found a promising interest (it's about damn time) and yes, I again have found someone to be interested in. I'm just worried that it will turn out to be like everything else which is it being exciting at first, then I get sick of the chase and having things completely slow down, to the point of just being friends, to the point of it being awkward to attempt to start something. Yeah. It happens all the time. I think it could be my fault though, or partially anyway, because I like the chase, but don't always like being caught. We'll see I suppose.
Back to the gym and back to tanning. It's almost summer and I'm looking forward to it. (Ooh Christina Aguilera just came on. Why the hell aren't we going????).
I have nothing really important to say....this was just a form of entertainment, and it's a good one. I'm sure I'll post little random things as per usual, probably in the form of hidden meanings and random quotations. But oh well....you'll put up with it...you always do. (Omg SexyBack is on right now and there's no one in the back office....PARTY TIME!!.....by myself....).

I learned a new word the other day:
Vitriol.
If you want to know what it means, leave me a comment.
Then I will answer you, AND you will have had to write something.
That, or use dictionary.com
But comments are much more fun.
