garble farble...

I'm slowly getting into downloading music. I've mostly downloaded music that I used to listen to while working at Inti. Arabic Groove! YAY. It's awesome.

But, you know what's totally NOT awesome?? Giving your number away to some freak who texts you too much! He always sends me a text right after I leave from talking to him face-to-face. It's so aggravating! He's determined to get me to visit him in Carpinteria, where he "lives" in a hotel. And he says we should smoke weed and have dinner. This something I might consider if I had my own car. And pepper spray.
Like I'm going to take the bus 15 miles away to see some dude who gets his money from sitting on a bench downtown all day with a deck of tarot cards...
Even though I'm never, ever going to do this, for some reason while he's suggesting it I just go along with it. I'm like, "Sure. Okay." It's like I'm not even listening to him. As soon as I start walking away it sinks in.

I've rehearsed in my head ways I could tell him to, well, stop talking to me. I've thought of ways that I could politely ask him to delete me from his phone. I'm positive he's going to ask why, or some other question that would require me explaining my actions. So I've also thought of nice ways to say that he was too forward and it made me regret ever talking to him.

I think I just have to explain to him that our "friendship" will remain on State Street and only face-to-face. No phones.

Then I'll avoid that spot as much as possible.

So it's Monday and I still haven't even checked to see if I work at Victoria's Secret this week. They never call if you don't show up for your shift, oddly enough. Just another reason their store is so inefficient. I'm 99% sure I'm going to get that job at Blenders. They need somebody with high volume beverage making experience. I told him that I worked at the third busiest Starbucks in California. I also think I got some points for putting "Blender Master!" under "Position desired" on the application.
A sense of humor seemed to be kind of important, too.

I also have to set up an interview at Java Jones. It would be cool if I worked there and at Blenders because they're like 50 feet away from each other. It could potentially reduce layover time in between jobs, thus increasing labor hours!

I NEED TO WORK! If only people knew how willing I was to work for them. Ya know? Seriously, nobody would ever regret hiring me. I would be a very grateful employee...
...until I have enough money to move away.

Then they could be my references for my next job in Santa Cruz!

I'm glad that I actually have a feasible plan for once. I know what school I'll go to. I'll know exactly what I should be studying. And I'm positive that I can find a room for cheaper than what I am paying here.
You know what I'm gonna do? I'm going to buy a season pass to the Beach Boardwalk and ride the wooden roller coaster at least 5 times a week!! And I'll get season passes to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and go there with Bryan!

Yes, yes, I can't wait to be in The Bay again. The best place on earth.

So, I've gotta go to the college tomorrow, actually. I have some financial aid stuff to drop off. And I'm gonna go to the bookstore, too. Plus I have to pay off my fees and get an ID. With my SBCC ID and my Brooks bus pass me and Bryan can take the bus anywhere for free!
Hell, classes start in less than a week anyway. I might as well buy my books and find my classrooms, too.

I'm feeling lucky. I think it's all going to work out.
