Wayfarer's Tavern

I work in retail. I am sickened by the consumerist orgy that I see daily. Christmas is so much worse. No one will die if their size 8 chestnut Ugg classic boots are not available. The fact that 90% of the world will blow $500-2,000 --on **** that they don't need-- in this one month is stupid. Blow the money on helping the needy, isn't that the original idea behind Christmas? Charity and 'Christ like' activities?

 

Yeah I'm about to see this bright and early tomorrow at the meat department in my grocery store. I'm not excited for work. And then right after I get to see it again when I go to work at the chocolate shop. This time of year blows.

 

You guys both need to take a day off and see all the Christmas help people at shelters and stuff.

 

Sad thing Em, is that the people working at the shelters are a tiny percent of the population. My store caters to a higher socioeconomic bracket. I doubt I would EVER see them near a shelter. Ever.

I am also entering my 6th day in a row without a day off. I am in full Bah-humbug mode right now.

 

Aww poor Kyle. I wish we had a shelter that wasn't an hour away from my house. I'd be there a lot.


On that note, I need to go to bed. I'm going running again tomorrow!

 

I WORK for a charity, so I don't mind indulging a little in Christmas. Though, to tell you the truth, only one person gets a Christmas gift from me and that's my favourite person in the entire world, MY entire world, Logan.

 

G'night Em. Enjoy your run! Remember to stretch.

 

That off road vehicle looks SERIOUS.

 

He got it for his birthday and he LOVES it. I still haven't seen him on it though.

I saw him for the first time in almost two months last Tuesday. I miss him like crazy. Stupid move.

Luckily, I get to spend Christmas with him.

 

How has life been treating you?

 

I'm so with you, dude. I don't hate Christmas (quite the opposite ), but it drives me insane to watch the customers at my store. God forbid we don't have the camera you're looking for...pick something else to give as a present.

He is too, too cute!

Anyway, I think I'm out for the night. I just finished coloring ten zillion pictures of Hawaiian-themed stuff to decorate one of the gifts I got for my dad, so I'm going to go finish it up and then go to bed. Nighty night, guys!

 

G'night hidden!

 

Night, Hidden!

Life's alright I guess. I'm extremely stressed because I moved out of my mom's place into my own house with my best friend. My best friend and I haven't been seeing eye to eye as of late and it's starting to take a toll on me. I'm beginning to get extremely tired of having to walk on eggshells around her because I never know which comment is going to offend her in some obscure way or which ones are the ones that have already offended her.

I have an intense amount of bills to pay, none of which are going to be paid anytime soon. I hate my job to the point where I dread going into work, despite being all for the purpose of my job.

The guy I've fallen for is moving to the other side of the planet in a matter of months, so I'm trying to spend as much time as I can with him. I knew I shouldn't have become attached when it started, but I just couldn't help myself. He's amazing in every way.

I'm pretty okay. Happier than I've been in a long time despite all of that. Mostly because of him. He makes me so happy. And making me happy makes him happy. So, it's win win. Aside from the whole losing part in two months...

-sigh-

 

Why not move with him? There are TONS of 'teach english abroad' programs. Tax free infome, some comp you for room/board, and its easy money.

 

I've only known him for a month. It would be really weird if I followed him across the planet.

I met him on my birthday, so I consider him the universe's gift to me. hahah

 

Good philosophy


People have done crazier things in the name of love. If stuff is not working with your current living situation, you could do a lot worse than a crazy trans-continental voyage. At least you get to see the world.

 

I would LOVE to go, but I'd have to be invited. I would never have the guts to invite myself. Nor would I want to intrude. I don't know that he feels even remotely the same for me. Plus, if I left, I would be leaving my housemate to fend for herself. She'd never be able to afford the place on her own, and she can't move back home without losing her mind.

 

Fair enough. Have you gotten any writing done? Perhaps the drama and struggles will be good for your muse.

 

No writing lately, no. I don't know why I keep giving up on it. I'm still in the exact same place I was as the last time you and I spoke. It's pretty sad actually.

I pulled it out to write a few days ago, but got distracted when I found that my computer was connecting to some random persons wireless net. (I've been without net for 3 months now..)

 

'Evening all.

 

Hahaha. My access is currently from some neighbor. I taught myself Linux so that I could break into WEP secured networks. Works great!

 

Whe we first moved in, I was able to pick up a signal, but we lost it for quite some time. Then, a few nights ago, I brought out my laptop just to grab a few things off the computer so I could reread what I had written with my island adventure, and when I looked up the thing was connected. There were no second thoughts about writing. I was a goner. hahaha
