nice title, huh? i had trouble coming up with one, so i just looked around gecko and typed out the first sign i saw.
well, president's day weekend is finally over! now the weeks will be normal, just 2 days of work and 5 days off. yesterday was extremely crowded because it was 2 for 1 tickets. we sold some stuff, but didn't kick as much ass as I wanted, mostly because we didn't have the stock we needed. but patrick was happy, so i was happy.
with the money i made from 3 days of work as well as the 2 student days last week, i went and bought myself a "kitchen", that is, a camp stove, pot, pan, utensils, cutting board, plate, bowl, a storage shelf for food and a smaller one for cutlery,etc. hopefully i'll figure out how to, you know, use the stove. it involves a can of propane and holding a match up to the burner to light it, so we'll see. hopefully i won't light myself or the desert on fire.
there's a mardi gras dance party thing going on tonight at the local bar. they have shuttles to and from the front gate, so i'll be going for sure. it'll be a good chance to drink and socialize. the bazaar in the mornings is a nice social gathering, but as i usually walk up there alone, and am not usually drunk, i don't really talk to anyone. i curse my awkwardness and shyness, so much. i feel i'm getting a reputation of being a loner, since i hardly ever talk to anyone and am only seen alone. i don't want to be a loner, though! it's just hard for me to just walk up to people and start a conversation unless i've been drinking, and i can't very well go around being drunk all the time. i do have people that i hang out with, and things will become more normal now, that is, when people invite me to hang out i actually will, because i won't have to go to bed early to wake up for the faire, during the week. katie, the girl who runs the booth that i work at in carolina, and who i'll be working for in texas, invited me to come hang out anytime, so i'll do that. i have to start hanging out because i'm not just going to write a blog about how lonely i am all the time! i was lonely most of the time in charlotte, too, to be honest.
Today a guy with no arms came into gecko. he was all decked out in biking gear, with his friend, and the baristas were questioning him about how he bikes. he told them he has a recumbent, which you just peddle with your legs. i was intensely curious, too, but didn't go out to look. he made me feel extremely lazy.
after this i'm going to trader joe's, which is exciting. their food is so cheap and awesome, and i haven't shopped there in forever, and i like shopping there almost as much as i like actually eating the stuff. my kingdom for an oven! or a microwave! george forman grill? 2 burner camp stove...? well, okay.
