Yesterday was not the most exciting day I've ever had, but it definitely had it's perks.

The day started out with work, as usual. It's been more relaxed over the last few days because the boss has been out of town. The guy who is "filling in" doesn't care nearly as much as the boss. He'll be back Thursday. I'm not looking forward to it. No one is, really.

After work, I came home and helped my sister do her taxes. It was pretty easy; she'd just never done them before and wanted me to be there in case she got lost or confused.

I hug with Jacob for the greater part of yesterday and we had a good time. We had lunch at the sushi bar across from his house and it was, of course, a tasty treat. I tried one of the salmon rolls this time and it was okay. I think I still prefer the tuna, but I wanted to try something new and it was worth it. After that we went up to Red Rock to buy the movie tickets to ensure that we got them before it sold out, like the rest of the shows for the IMAX had.

An incident that required him to drive past the Strip yesterday got resolved just as we were passing TI {Treasure Island} and since I'd been wanting to go see one of the free shows they offer there, it made sense to just go ahead and stop. The Sirens @ TI is a quick, but pretty cool show. The women are scantily clad and the men are all buff. Of course they all have to be good looking otherwise the show wouldn't be very popular. I really liked the girls' outfits.

After that we came back to my place to nap before the movie. Both of us were tired from a lack of sleep and a carb overload from the sushi. I set my alarm for 9 so that we could get to the theater with enough time to get in line early so we could get top choice in seats. The showing was at 12:15am and we got there two hours early ... for absolutely no reason. Two lines formed before people that were supposed to be there for the 12:!5 showing even showed up. It definitely ensured we had good seats, but we could have gotten an extra hour of sleep time in and still made it with enough time to get good seats. Oh well.

Alice in Wonderland is pretty awesome in IMAX 3D.

Oh wait! I forgot to write about the vespa. . . lol. We were driving back to my place after seeing the Sirens and we heard this noise coming up next to us. It was some dude riding a vespa. We watched as it made it's way up next to the car and then started to slowly go past the car. It was at this point when Jacob realized he was getting beat by a fricken vespa and immediately stepped on the gas to get the car back up to the proper speed limit. We laughed about that for a good couple miles down the road.

Okay, back to Alice in Wonderland. I'm probably going to go see the movie again today. I don't think it was quite that good, but I told my sister I'd use my movie passes to discount the price to take her to see Alice since the premiere had fallen through on Thursday.

While we're sitting in the theater waiting for the movie to start, I was watching as people filed into the theater. This side door opens up at one point and a few people walked through it. Nothing out of the ordinary ... except that one of the people who walked through looked remarkably like Carrot Top. I commented that the guy down there looked like him and once the two suits walked in behind him I realized that it really was Carrot Top. I think it kind of went down like this:
"hey, that guy looks like Carrot Top. . . wait, that is Carrot Top! holy shit!"

People started realizing that he was in the theater and it was pretty funny for a minute. Then the previews started and everyone completely forgot that there was a celebrity in the audience with them.

So yeah, that was my day yesterday. Nothing epic, but it was a good day.

I have no reason to be awake this early. Yet here I am. I tried going back to sleep, but it was unsuccessful ... obviously.

I'll probably end up dozing off again in about an hour.

I've been attempting to write up something for the past few days, but halfway through the attempt, I suddenly lose interest and just click off the page. I'll publish this one, but it might not be any longer than this.

Yeah, this is all I've got. I'm not in the mood to write about my problems today.

It's a really messed up song if you actually listen carefully to the lyrics ...

... is much, much harder than you'd think.

You can tell a hundred people the same advice for the same situation, but once you're in that exact situation yourself, you have no idea how to handle it. Even though you've explained and repeated how to deal with it a hundred times already.

I hate holidays, btw. It's just coincidence that yesterday happened to be the one holiday I dislike the most. That's probably why I'm feeling all pissy lately. Stupid commercialized holidays. Yesterday's was the most ridiculous one of them all.

Sitting at work hoping the time passes quickly is useless. Time never passes quickly when you aren't doing anything. Even when you're sleeping time doesn't pass quickly.

I was given some advice and I'm going to try to take it. I don't know how well it'll work out, but I can try. I was basically told to play "hard to get." Doing so will be beneficial in me finding out, to some extent, just how much I'm wanted. I want to believe now that he's trying to prove that he cares, but my friend has a point. If I give in every time, then he doesn't have to try very hard. I don't remember the last time I said, "no, not today/tonight" or "maybe next time; I'm busy today." I'm afraid of the outcome should I start saying no. But I guess if it is the outcome I don't want, then there really was no point in me trying so hard to hold on.

I almost told someone my secret. I think I might actually tell my sister. It's not really any of her business, but she's pretty much the only one I can trust. And the fact that she sees that something is going on, I'm pretty sure she already has an idea. I just don't know how she'd react if it were openly confirmed. I'll see how this week goes. I don't know if she'll be home at all this week, but she knows that it'll happen. It's been happening for the last few weeks. Oh well.

I hate work right now. And I don't even care if the camera sees that I'm typing this out. I'm so ready to quit. I've already put in my transfer paperwork, but I don't know how soon something will become available. I need something that pays more. If I were getting paid what I'm making right now for overtime as my regular pay, I'd definitely stay and deal with the fucked up drama. Unfortunately the economy doesn't work that way. And at my pay right now, the drama just isn't worth it. Everything is fine until 6:30am when my boss shows up. It's not just me who feels that way. Both of my coworkers feel the same.

I have just under 6 hours left just sitting here doing my time. On weekends I'd prefer to work swing shift, but this is the only thing available. I'll probably be working Saturday nights until they find someone to replace the position. I need the extra money to help catch me up. And it's really not like I do anything on Saturday nights anyway. Hell, I hardly do anything on Friday nights either, but I'd like to keep it open just in case the rare plan is made. Or spontaneity occurs.

Anywho, I suppose it's time to find something else to watch on Hulu. Watching movies or a bunch of 45 minute shows will kill the rest of my time here. That's not what I had written before when my internet decided to crap out, but it got across some points I wanted to talk about. Till next time NuTang. . .
