why? (a series of questions)
...can I not walk without spilling my coffee?
...can't I just go home after class instead of "surfing the web". I should have been doing homework.
...can't the boys I'm interested in be interested in me? (see 2 posts down)
Scene 1: Introducing the cast of characters.
J, the boy
R, me
A, the mutual friend, classmate of R
M, teacher that R & A have Tuesday night
Scene 2: The Connection
J is a security guard at a store that R & A walk past on their way to school. R lives nearby, A walks from somewhere. R & A are both very friendly girls. J is a friendly boy. A is a server at a local pub that J frequents. A invited R to J's 30th birthday party that was to be held there. R totally forgot about it and did something else that night. (R is not much one for "going out.")
Scene 3: Monday of this week
R was walking to school. J was standing outside of his store. R stopped and wished him a "happy belated birthday" and they ended up chatting for a while. R didn't think any more about the conversation until...
Scene 4: Tuesday night in class
A walked in and said to R, "I was just talking about you."
R: "You must have been talking to J. I was talking to him yesterday."
A: "You made such an impression on him. He kept talking about you and how cute you were and how beautiful you were. And he thinks you're fabulous."
R: "Thanks. I think I'm fabulous too."
(queue laughter from classroom!)
A: "No seriously, he wouldn't stop talking about you. And he really wants you to call him. Tonight. He tried to find out if you had a boyfriend and you didn't give him an answer."
Transcript of note from J: "I THINK YOUR CUITE (heart w/arrow thru) (smiley face)"
R: (thinking) "He asked if I have a boyfriend?"
R: "oh"
A: "So are you going to call him?"
R: "um"
A: "Do you have a boyfriend?"
R: "No. I don't have time for them. I don't even have time for me!"
M: "What? Rachel's got a boyfriend? Rachel, you're getting married?"
R: "What? No!"
M: "Rachel, you're working on your wedding picture as your final project?"
R: "What? No!" (laughs)
M: "No worries, you'll be divorced by the end of class anyway."
(more classroom laughter)
Scene 5: Wednesday morning, R waking up
R: (thinking) "OH! He did tell me I should come to the other store that he works at in the Market with my guy... Guess I could call the RHB for a Market wander? We haven't done that for a really long time... Gaa! How do I get into these things?"
...can't I just go home after class instead of "surfing the web". I should have been doing homework.

frustration
School + work + lack of sleep + a serious lack of money = HUGE issues & stress
and I really don't like that girl at the front desk in Financial Aid!
but there's a cute boy sitting to my right in the computer lab.
but it doesn't really make me feel any better...
and I have a store meeting tonight from 7-9
and I just want to sleep....................!
just had to share all that with you.

idea
I just discovered an interesting blog about a girl who is a bibliophile. And I realized that I could blog about books. Or something. Just a suggestion.
I'm supposed to be working on a magazine spread and I have a question and my teacher hasn't come over to talk to me yet. :(
I'm exhausted and have no time to sleep in. Ever.
Boo.

lovin' the shuffle
As I walked home from class and then back to school, this was my playlist:
Tarzan Boy (Baltimora)
This Old Heart Of Mine (Rod Stewart)
Beer Barrel Polka (Fritz's Polka Band)
Red Dirt Girl (Emmy Lou Harris)
Doctor Jones (Aqua)
Wait. Never mind. That's pretty much the soundtrack to my life. :D
P.S. B & C are moving into their new condo south of Seattle. How excited am I?! :)
P.S.S. I have SO much work to do before tomorrow morning...

and then he said
Busy weekend and I need to recover!
Friday night, Jodie & I went to Flying Fish in Belltown. Rumour has it that Emeril eats there when he's in town. We had Banana-leaf Wrapped Mahi Mahi with diced yams and shitake mushrooms in oyster sauce. She had a mojito and I had a glass of chianti and we each paid $22. Yeah, it was expensive and I was still hungry when we were done. shrugs. I would definitely go there again. After dinner, we wandered around Belltown with thoughts of stopping in somewhere for another drink. But nothing looked like we had to go there and we ended up at Whole Foods. I forget that it's only 7 blocks from my apartment! I bought red Gerberas and pineapple and a salad and she went a little crazy over the gluten-free section. I was home by 9-ish so I watched Spaceballs. I really enjoy that movie! :)
Saturday, I slept in then spent 7 hours in the computer lab at school. Unfortunately, I am no where close to being done with any of the 3 projects that are due this week. :( Once I got kicked out of the computer lab, I went to Barnes & Noble and ate supper and bought The Graphic Design Visual Dictionary because I had a coupon and wanted to buy something. I am positive I will use it.
Sunday morning, I was out of bed at 3:15 and at the Seattle Art Museum at 4:40. Yes, AM! Volunteered there from 5 - 9, mainly as a greeter, taking tickets and handing out maps. Our supervisor sent me and the other girl out to look at the museum and in the 45 minutes we were away from our post, we only looked at the 3rd floor galleries! I really want to spend more time there! I stopped for a mocha at Caffe Ladro on my way home, then got my Mini Cooper and went to meeting. Andrew, Eleanor, Keren, Anna, Beth & I went to World Wrapps then I dropped off my car and did laundry. I took pictures for my Digital Type project and went to bed while it was still light. Weird!
Oh, and I made new friends at SAM - Rian & Courtney & Cab (?). I kept thinking that Courtney was the f.h. but I'm not sure. Rian was totally my best friend and it was kinda cute and kinda creepy. I DO attract the really strange, the drunk, and the gay... Oh, and also I met a guy named Mark who lives in Belltown and thinks we should go to a wine tasting together. If only I could remember where the place was or what he looked like?!
This morning, I was at work at 4:10 AM. I worked until noon, then lunched at Cheesecake Factory (took dessert home with me), talked to Becky on the phone, then had a nap. When I woke up, I felt very allergic and still do, even though I'm at school working on my stuff. (Yeah, right. I'm actually posting right now...)
I am working in Studio 7 because: 1) I didn't feel like walking to North Campus and 2) I had to meet with Doug to "approve" my schedule for next quarter, strange tho it may be! I have discovered that I don't really like the computers in here or the setup and just might wander down the street for better working conditions...
My reason for going to work told me that his 4-year-old daughter had a sleep over this weekend with her 5-year-old cousin and that he didn't feel very rested. I just couldn't bring myself to ask about his daughter's mother/father(?) but I remembered that when I first started working I had the feeling that he was not single. Figures!
The girls were wearing their really cute spring clothes and sandals today. It's around 70 and clear and sunny and really nice in general and I am inside. Grrr!
And not only am I inside, but I am not working on my tourism brochure because I am feeling a little lost about it. SO MUCH TO DO!!!!!
Guess I should get working?

um
Well, it is absolutely gorgeous out today, but the breeze is definitely still cool.
I'm sitting in Starbucks and the really cute deaf guy just walked by and we waved. That's all we ever do! :)
I might have to change my reason-for-going-to-work. He's not being very social this week. So the new reason is all the cute shoes that the girls upstairs wear. :) Stuff like this or this or this. I have no idea what exactly they are wearing cuz I don't ask. But they wear really cute clothe as well. :)
Oh, I also go to work becuse I work with amazing people and I love my job! :)
Right. I was going out to run errands. So I guess I should go.
xo
p.s. there are entirely TOO many attractive gay men in this fair city!

confusion sets in
Name that tune! No prizes to be awarded, but I can't remember who it's by, so...
Monday morning. I was at work just after 6. Got to do the first trash run of the morning/week. Not all that exciting, but the trash compactor made a wierd noise and I just remembered that I didn't tell anyone. Oops!
Reason-for-going-to-work got his hair cut over the weekend. It makes him look younger. And he said he was exhausted and if I'd made his drink, I would have slipped him an extra shot, but whatever.
Both of my teams are up 2-1 in their series - Buffalo over the Rangers and Sens over whoever they are playing. (And I say I like hockey?!!) Mike's got his money on the Sabres... Ryan Miller's kinda hot... ;)
It is 9:35 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time and I am sitting in the computer lab at school. I was working on my icon series for Design Layout and was using a tablet & stylus - fun. But I couldn't figure out 2 of my icons so I just went with 4. Tomorrow I will make them look presentable. Tonight I just want to sleep.
But since EVERYONE reads my blog, I figured I should say hello.
S threw me a birthday party on Saturday night. It was just the 2 of us and B. She made a yummy fritata with bread and fruit and cupcakes. Oh, and presents and they sang "happy birthday" to me. yay. I had my birthday party. I've been getting cards all week - fun! And today I got cards from Lisa & Megan. That about made my birthday! :) Miss you girls!
I have to go home and put sheets on my bed, so I guess I should get moving along.
More a different day...
