The last couple weeks have involved:
- Breakfast with Stefan and Rhiannon(stefan's wife) followed by her getting her Monroe pierced and a jaunt to Kits beach to hang out the shade and quietly mock people. It was my first time hanging out at a beach since moving here, and it pretty much reinforced why I hadn't bothered. Meat market central.
- Being angry. It's so much better than feeling hurt.
- Parental visit from the 1st to the 5th. Hokey Canada Day activities ensued, including having to watch the better part of a 54-40 set. They're on mainstream radio so they're good right?. Physically looking at condos occurred. They got me a brightly coloured tie dyed hippie skirt from Salt Spring Island. The colours are me, the style, not so much, but the thing is pretty damn comfortable. Unless it's worn on the windiest day ever. Then the damn thing blows upwards. Good thing I had leggings on.
- Acquiring a new job. Starting July 21st, I will be working at an embroidery supply warehouse doing shipping/receiving for $14 an hour, 8:30-4:30, with three other women, one of whom is Rhiannon. For those who never got the memo, my current job is $11.25 an hour, Tuesday to Friday, 6am til whenever finished, generally between 1:30 and 3:30, I have to see the driver every day, and I work with jerks who either can't, or won't do their jobs properly, and for a company whose main goal is to expand, not improve. When I gave my notice I thought my boss was going to cry. He pulled me into his office and asked what was going on, and I explained the terms of my new job and he understood but wished he could offer me more because he can't afford to lose me. I've been to the dentist twice this week, once for cleaning, once for fill-ins on a few chipped teeth, costing my job a nice 500 dollars. And I"ll be stocking up on all the birth control I can get my grubby packer hands on before next Friday.
My boss asked where I wanted my parting gift certificate to be from and one of the places I mentioned was the New Balance store. My hope being that I get 50 bucks to spend on new sneakers. For my new job.
- Having to take my facial piercings out for the full head x-ray at the dentist. And they got left out for the whole cleaning. Putting the labret in afterwards was a bit tight and pushy, so now I guess I know for sure if I take it out, it's gone. Which I'd suspected, but I've had the odd person try and tell me that after having it 5 years, it wouldn't permanently be lost. Lips aren't ears folks. However, if I'd not been able to get it back in, I wouldn't have cried about it. I might have been a bit bummed, but I've been toying with taking it out for a while, yet can't quite do it. There's a certain amount of personal history there.
- A summer haircut. It's a bit shorter than I really wanted, and I'm still kinda getting used to it. I'd kind of wanted more of a change than BUZZED, so in the future I'll have to be a bit more specific I think. The shape is more or less the same as what I've been sporting for nearly two years.
- A first date with a dude on Wednesday. Beer-and-burger-for-12-bucks night at the Five Point. Followed by 4 more beers. He seems nice, kinda shy, kinda awkward, kinda 22 and from Portland, kinda a UBC geological engineering student. He called me after work yesterday to see if I wanted to go for a bike ride this weekend. Whether this turns into just friends, or just more, at the very least he gets a point or two for calling me first.
I'm going to listen to more stuff and run my tongue over my weird feeling teeth some more.
