because the night
by Valli
Yesterday I went straight to the mall after work. I went to LB and got a bunch of stuff, including jeans in a size smaller than I’ve got now. Then I went to Torrid and got two great tops, plus this ring thats basically like fake diamonds but it’s got a ton of ‘em and it’s super sparkly, on a semi thick silver band. I think I might wear it tonight.
Tonight is the FT, DS show at ImusicASS. Originally I was thinking of going all out for it by wearing heels, getting my makeup done, plus a pedicure & manicure, but that’s all been scrapped. At this point I might wear the heels.
I can always slap on some mascara.
There is a possible new twist/wrinkle to this show tonight. There’s this guy, Jon. I talked to him for the first time last night. On Thursday when we were emailing I said that I didn’t know when I was going to get out of work on Friday, but that I would call him. So of course yesterday I went shopping after work and I didn’t get home until 8. I called him, but he didn’t answer so I left a message. He called me back pretty soon after that, but he was painting a room in his brothers house so we couldn’t talk for an extended period of time. So at one point I thought he was going to give the whole “i’m too busy” excuse, but he came through. See.. he just moved up here from San Diego and he’s staying at his brothers new house, until he gets his jobs & own place worked out. Anyway, his brother has a fiancee and they’re both out on business trips right now, so as a housewarming present basically he said he’d paint some of the rooms in the house or something, but the brother is coming back today and they’re supposed to do one together. Anyway, they’re having a housewarming/engagement party at the house next weekend, and he’s got interviews and work and stuff all throughout the week, and so things won’t really calm down for him until after the engagement party. So as he’s saying this I’m thinking “oh damn, here it comes, the “i’m busy” crap”.. but he didn’t do that, he asked if I was going to be in the city (San Francisco, where he lives) and I was like no, but I’m going to a show in Berkeley/Oakland. So he’s like, oh that’d be cool to go to and how he would call me tomorrow (today) to let me know if he’d really be able to make it. And he asked me to send him the address of imusicASS and the show info. So I did and I’m excited.
I hope he can make it and I hope that I like him and he likes me. That’s all I want right now. Ooh, I should use the fortune cards.
And now with Jon possibly being at the show it makes my decision on what to wear that much more important. Although not really ’cause I was planning on trying to look as good as possible anyway.
Today my mission is to get my clean out my car, take it to a quickie car wash thingy at a gas station, and get some new shoes. I think those are the two big things. I still need to go to Artopia and get that piece I made way back with Michele, I hope they haven’t tossed it yet.
In other news…Brian hasn’t called since Wednesday. He made it seem like he’d call me again before Sunday but I guess I was wrong about that. He’s a total lost cause. If he calls me tomorrow I’ll be sooo surprised. And then there’s Gabe. He’s an anomaly. I talked to him online yesterday, but not for very long and not about a whole lot. If anything happens with him it’ll be purely of his own doing ’cause I can’t get anything out of him without asking for it myself and I’m not doing that.
