Catching Up!

Moving in was fairly uneventful. The big thing was, of course, that I didn't have a bed. I had my heart set on a futon, so my mom and I went and picked one out.

Problem? They didn't have the frame in stock. "We'll call you Friday, we should have it in by then," the man said.
It's Sunday. Still haven't heard a word. I am livid. I'm calling them tomorrow, but I am pissed! It is not my job to find out what they have in stock, especially since I already paid for the damn thing.

Work has been a bitch, and I really have no funny anecdotes. One of my managers graduated from my college last year, and although we never met each other we each knew of each other so that's kinda cool. But the store is incredibly understaffed. We're having eight hour shifts instead of five. Today my eight hours turned into ten -- without a break. And I have blisters like whoa all over my feet.

I won't be dancing for a couple of weeks here, I've talked to my boss at Club XS and he said I had to wait a bit for one of the dancers to leave in a couple weeks. Unfortch, further investigation revealed that (I think) it's my friend Todd who we're waiting on, and I prob'ly won't get to see him. But we'll see.

But, in case that wasn't enough....
I have no idea where I stand with almost all of my friends. There were so many break ups while I was gone. The most major of these is that of my two friends Damon and Robbie. Damon works in my store and we've been hanging out.
So imagine my surprise when Cody, formerly my best friend, calls and asks if I work with Damon -- especially when he's never given a rat's ass about Damon before and -- sure, I'll say it -- he had plenty to do with the end of that relationship given that Robbie and he hooked up during the relationship. Damon had already mentioned to me that he wasn't speaking to Cody, so when Cody explained that Damon had told him that he was working at Abercrombie & Fitch at the Park Town mall...which is a twisted and bizarre version of the name of the mall we work in. But since Damon doesn't talk to Cody, I knew something weird was up.

The next day Robbie texted me to tell me not to become "best buddies" with Damon just because we work together, and told me that Damon was trying to turn people against him. Except for the one little detail that Damon hadn't been trying to make me have any opinion of Robbie at all...I have been trying very hard to not take sides.
Robbie didn't score himself any points with that little tactic, and I let him know that. And I also let Cody know how ridiculously pissed I was/am at him. I'm more than pissed with him though. How can you lie to one of your best friends? And like, seriously, hasn't he caused enough damage already? At this point, I'm done with him. There's so many reasons for me to not want to be around him, and only a few reasons to continue our friendship that I can think of. It doesn't seem worth it.

Anyways, the whole thing has left me with a lot of doubt regarding my relationships with almost everyone here and feeling very much alone. I mean, Cody's like the one I've been hanging out with for the longest and our friendship kind of always seemed like a given. If that one's on the fritz...

Oh, and on the boy front? You know how it seemed like James might kinda be into me two weeks ago when he was in RI? Well, now we're back in PA and he's totally into skanky blonder-than-me boys with ugly haircuts instead. I mean, not that I'm bitter or jealous at all...(yeah, maturity's clearly not rearing its ugly head in this post. :P) In fact, the whole love-life thing looks from this angle like it's going to be a while before there's any progress there. Even my smaller, mostly secret crushes seem like wastes of time right now. And I'm all pessimistic and mopey and boring right now. Laaaaame.

So, to sum it all up...I want to be back in Rhode Island!!!!!
