Ballgame's in the refridgerator, doors close, lights are out, BUTTER's GETTING HARD!!!

I think I'm semi-drunk right now. I still have the commitment to do this thing. I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, just I haven't had internet in my room for a week straight now and I have to borrow my friend's. I'm at school again since the last post. It's been pretty crazy, I'll fill in the details later. For now, my apartment has been the center stage for a lot of things. Ah man, this apartment got some potential for greatness for sure. But, I quit writing right now. I want to sleep!!!

Right now, I'm online playing Texas Hold 'em. I guess I can do this too. Quite a bit has happened since the last time I posted. Yeah, I'm starting school next week. Have I started packing? No. Should I be worried right now? Probably. Both Willy and Jason moved up there today, so pretty much Cisco and I will probably provide the rest of the stuff. They probably sand bagged on all of the expensive stuff. Oh well, I'm looking forward on moving into the new apartment.

I've been working at Target for a lot of hours. I can only remember two days that stand out the most which were last Friday and today. Friday I only worked for four hours, but it was crazy. I was ringing up this lady and I noticed that she was shaking a little and she asked me where the sodas were at. So, she grabs the soda and I finish up and she left to the side. I finished up the next guess and I saw her shaking a lot standing next to the wall. So I asked if she was ok, and she told me she was a diabetic. She wanted a chair and my team leader already called for paramedics. I assited her on sitting down and there she passed out. She was still breathing but she got diabetic coma. I was a little shaken up until I got break. I should have known the signs that it was going to be that serious when she was one of my guest. I felt mixed up after that.

After my shift, I went to go throw back the items and I was at Guest Services and there Stephanie, that hot girl not my sister, was arguing with Brenda about her shirt size...

Brenda: Your pretty small so this medium size shirt should fit you.
Stephanie: I can only fit in a large because I got big boobs.
Brenda: You're a medium size.
Stephanie: I got big boobs!
Brenda: You're a medium!
Stephanie: I got big boobs!!!
Me: I think I should leave now.

Dammit, she's hot. She's probably the motivation for working there. But, I'm leaving soon so, dammit! Two days ago, when my shift was almost up, I saw her walking to the bathroom with tears in her eyes. I just wanted to comfort her in any way possible, but she doesn't know me and I don't know her and I wished that I could just chat with her.

Yesterday, she wasn't there, so, I wasn't really too enthusiastic at cashiering. However, it started off pretty odd. If you have ever been at Target recently, you notice that we offered Visa Instant Credit where you can save 10% and you get a credit card in the mail. I was like 3 in 500 on signing people for that, but today was different. The minute I went and started my shift, the first person said yes and they would sign up. I was surprised, I come in and I kill. Then the next person I asked, and they signed up. My team leaders were pretty shocked that I got two in ten minutes. I was just confused this whole time. How does that happen?

Well, I reflected on what I did yesterday. First I went to the Buddhist Temple in Santa Paula. We needed to go there for seven Sunday's to honor and pray to our grandfather and buddha. Since it was the fourth week, my dad needed me to have the ceremony done to me to get the traditional white headband off of my head because I was going to Poly and there's no assurances that I would be back on the seventh Sunday. The people at the temple and monks were very kind and I got to watch my cousins practice Karate inside the temple. They were learning the same techniques I was learning back in the day. So, probably the prayers in the temple helped gain the four Instant Credits yesterday.

It's very rare when I hang out with anybody. This past two weeks, Allen came back and I caught up with him about how the Navy was and how I was with school. It was just awesome time. We had the same thought, we attract the wrong girls. They think I'm 16 at Target. If you ask me, I'll tell about the story of the lady who got me figured out wrong.

Man, there's more things, but my mind is shutting down. Class start in one week...damn.

Tonight sucked. I learned that my friends went to Ojai two hours after they called me. I was kind of upset because this was one night that I was free. I didn't have to work today. But, I thought they would come over to my house afterwards just to chat a little. However, they never came, and I got a little more upset. So, right now, I'm drowning myself into Super Smash Bros. Melee and listening to Eminem's leaked new songs.

Yesterday was pretty good. Started off at work where I began my shift and I saw Christy there. Any familiar face there gets me motivated to do work and it seems like the hours go by really fast. So, she brightened the early afternoon. Another aspect was when this really hot girl that works at Target as well pulled up to my lane getting a few items. I talked with her for a little bit about the Instant Credit applications that we had to get people to sign up. In the end, I did the usual have a nice day and her streaked hair that covered one of her eye waved back showing her entire face, beautiful blue eyes, and a nice smile. I kept my cool the whole time, but inside I was jumping up and down.

When I went to clean up my station, I ran into her again and she asked me to apply for that Credit Application. If I wasn't so busy, I would have applied just because she asked me. I wonder how old she is...

A lot of other things happened, but I won't get into it. Tomorrow is my final day off of my weekend within the week. Saturday I start from the afternoon and close the store down. Probably I won't be free until another week. I guess I'll miss my friends until then...
