Not much new's wise recently. Things have been relatively calm recently. I have new people in my life, I've cut out some people in my life. It's actually worked out for the best. I hate letting people go but sometimes keeping them around becomes far more toxic. People do have their limits and it seems mine get tested constantly.

For me it's not about quantity after all but rather quality. I'd rather have that one amazing friend whom I can be as dorky as I want to be who wont judge me but would rather join me than to be surrounded by people whom selectively listen and stick by you for convenience.

Aside that works been pretty ok and guitar practice has been lacking. So much so that I played again and my fingers are insanely hurting right now lol. Oh well, my wrist and fingers should be getting used to it again pretty soon. That and I have this obsession with buying all these guitar picks yet I favor only one XD

What else... I'm still addicted to the GazettE (and will always be) but I have now added to that obsession Jay Chou, Wang LeeHom, F(x), and SHINee whose Lucifer song has become my newest song that is getting overplayed on my music player.

That's about it XD

Until next time ^_^
I'm somewhat spoiled when it comes to emotions. I have plenty and there are plenty coming my way. I haven't had many problems in that aspect save for the fact that once I let someone in it's up to them to keep that trust, to help it grow and mend it when it experiences a small crack in it's core or outer shell. I guess my main problem is that I don't let many people in, so when I do, or when I begin to do so, it's a huge deal that they mistreat what's entrusted to them.

Why the rant?

Because recently, as in for these last few months, like... 6 or 7... I've been having this crush on someone. No big deal right? Wrong.

So here's the deal. I haven't told almost anyone because I hate that childish mentality of having someone tell them or that whole elementary writing a note junk. Frankly that's not cute it's annoying ∑(-x-;)

Anyways, I guess I wanted to let it progress. We talk, but it was just an occasional thing and I shy away easily. The few people who know because I'd told them about it would advise me. Talk to him more, invite him out, tell him already ((((((ノ゚⊿゚)ノ!!!

But yeah... I didn't listen.

It started to feel like he was coming around, finally noticing me. I mean where I used to have to initiate conversations myself he was now the one coming up to me and chatting me up. And he smiled more, and he made it a point to greet me every time he saw me. I was actually starting to really consider taking my friends advice. My feelings were growing for this guy to the point where it brightened up my day to see him, it made me happy when he talked to me, and when he wasn't there I'd wonder if I ever invaded his thoughts the way he did mine.

So up until recently it had been great and I had thought perhaps I should finally take that additional step to help things progress along and then I heard something that was unsettling. According to someone fishing for information, he'd been all over a friend of mine at her going away party. Sucks.

But she hadn't said anything, though I figured that was largely due to the fact that she had no idea I liked him so I texted her saying I had a quick question. To my horror and surprise she texted back that if it was about the guy I liked that he was all over her but she had forgotten to tell me, or rather hadn't wanted to tell me to avoid hurting my feelings.

Smooth.

How she knew I had no idea. Later she said it was because she figured it out by something I had once said that he said too and so she tied it all together.

Whatever. According to her she was coming clean about it now because she's a good friend and blah blah blah. Meanwhile she hadn't planned on saying anything until I asked.

So basically he likes her, tried making a move on her, and I knew nothing of this because I wasn't there (I was too tired to go after work) and nobody had known that knew I liked him except for that one girl who finally brought it up out of seemingly nowhere.

Shittiest thing of all? I cried about it. \(*`∧´)/
Ok so today this lady came in looking all sorts of out of it. I will admit I was definitely intrigued however I chose to ignore it for the time being and just watch her carefully. And thankfully I had my two brothers here and my dad because in the end they came in handy.

See it all started with her saying she was lost. Now believe you me, I am not a bad person. If someone needs something that I can give then I will give it. And here I am trying to help her when she cuts me off and tells me to just print her the directions and she's going to get her husband. Let's start our list of red flags here shall we?:

1. She seems out of it (blaming it on being tired.)
2. The woman states she got lost on her way to Huntsville then asks if I can print her directions on how to get to Le Grange Texas. (say's she's never been but has family there)
3. Starts looking around and has no vehicle in sight (turns out the guy was parked out of sight)

So then I decide, well maybe I'm being too judgmental. If I needed directions I'd want someone to help me too right? Well so there I am, looking for this place with no address as she claims to not know any street names or even a zip code.

Well then she sees my dad come in and leaves the "husband" in the office while she takes off out of my office and towards my dad. She proceeds to ask him about every single thing in the store while the guy starts eying every little thing in sight. He decides to mention this end table looking thing we have that has the front made of glass. I tell him it's not for sale it's for office use and what does he try to do? He tries to go over there in the pretense that he just want's to take a closer look and tries to open it!!!

So then the lady comes back in the office saying my dad gave her something for free and I give her the print out of the directions which she doesn't even glance at as she talks the husband into going out to look at our appliances.

4. Both seem a little TOO interested in looking around in places restricted to customers.
5. Neither looks at all interested in even looking at the printed map or in any type of hurry.
6. They kept separating and each trying to see how many people were around as well as how far they could go before being stopped.

Well suddenly her story changed. Now she had this 'grandpa' who was "loaded" and she would call him if we could give her a good deal on a big side-by-side refrigerator. Right after that it was really an a/c unit he needed. During this time she also asked if we were hiring which I said that we were not. So the husband starts asking about washers and she goes to my brother and asks if we are hiring to which he responds that we aren't. Afterwards she asks my dad the same question and get's the same answer.

Well then she goes to the most expensive set we have and asks to see it working so that she can mention it to her "loaded grandpa" whom might buy it. Now I am a fair person, however by now I was more than certain that she had no intentions of buying a single thing. I told her that if she was serious in buying it then I had no problems in showing her that it was working to which she became overly upset about. She started yelling that she had the money but that I wasn't getting it because I wouldn't plug it in for her. Well then my dad came in (he'd stepped outside to look for something) and he told her that if she purchased it he would gladly take it back there for her and plug each on in but she started spouting off these random insults (some of which were beyond racist and uncalled for) and stormed out claiming to have been an appliance sales person for many many years and how we were missing out on her business.

She got even more angry when I asked my dad if he gave her that thing she had and he said no because he'd asked her to go in the office and get the price from me. She tossed it on the ground and threw the directions I'd printed for her on the floor and they both left with a string of curses as they go in their car.

7. Seemingly sizing up the number of people on hand
8. Lying (more than once) or being "inconsistent" story wise.
9. Still not even glancing at the directions (which she headed in the opposite direction as they peeled out too)
10. Temperamental when she realized she wasn't getting her way.

All in all it was pretty much a hilarious experience of which I shall remember for a long time. She delivered the laughs and we are pretty much convinced that they were only in here to steal whatever they could and left angrily as they weren't given the chance.

The number of times she tried going to the back and other sections of the store that were quite obviously off limits is over 8 and she couldn't keep her story straight on anything. People like that are sad indeed. Find someone else less alert next time and either lie better or save your breath and keep going.
