Stay very close to the floor

It appears the reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. I'm here. hale, and hearty. Well, at least two of those. Two and a half, on a good day.

So, updates. Let's start with social first.

Haha, but seriously. Let's see... Rose moved out. Well, not completely. She's still got various sundries scatted 'bout the base, but for the most part, she's gone. It's a little weird, but I'm re-adjusting to a previous state, not getting used to a new one, so it's back to how it was before she got here. Well, except for one glaring omission. Other than that, though... yeah. Still almost completely cut off from any sort of social contact with anyone. That's a little unfair, since it's mostly my fault. I mean, it's unfair for me to say that, since it sounds like I'm blaming the situation, when I acknowledge that it's mostly my fault. But this is my place to whine, even if it's just about the consequences of my own decisions and actions. So deal with it.

Anyway. Finally talked to Jarrod yesterday. The wedding's been postponed, indefinitely. They're still together and all, but... yeah. That's kinda scary. I was (and still am) really hoping things work for him. That's been about it, really. Well, I could post some stuff about Lilie, and I still might, but not just yet.

So, work. That's fun. Been closing 4/5 times a week, and they're thinking (very seriously) about giving me my own store. That'd be cool, 'cept I'd have to move to San Antonio. Which doesn't really present me with a problem - it's not like there's anything holding me here anymore. Well, a few things. First, I love this city, second, I've spent my entire life here, and third and most importantly, I have a lease that doesn't expire for another six months. Though, if I can find someone to replace me here, that gets along well with David, I'll do it in a heartbeat. Other than that, work's been fairly routine. Turns out Sara (one of the new managers) is a lesbian, which is a shame, 'cause she's really, really cute. The way it came up was somewhat humorous, too. I was training her on closing. She was text messaging back and forth with her bed buddy, and asks me how much longer we have, so she knows whether or not to tell her to just go to sleep and not wait up for her. I (jokingly) act hurt and make some comment about her rather spending time with the bed buddy, and she says something along the lines of "Don't be offended, it's just that you have a penis, and I'm just not into that. Besides, if I *did* want that, I could just go buy it at a store." I was speechless for a little bit. Really caught me off guard. And she came by the store tonight in somewhat more casual wear than I'm used to seeing her in (Domino's uniform). Oh, and Ambra. Should talk a little about her. And how I've never actually been the initiator of things. But we'll get to that later, I guess. The horde's pissing me off, so I'm going to go find something to eat. Or something.
