DERANGED AWARD GOES TO...

CHOICE MOVIE: Rules of Attraction. Very dirty, very sad, and very true to life. The only person I felt sorry for was the gay guy. I hope my college experience has less drugs, but no less drama b/c then I can write a kick-ass book about it, turn it into a play, and eventually get it made into a movie. Yesssssss.

Had a pretty good day, as far as days go. Went to school, didn't do a whole damn lot, took a Chem test that I failed, lab due tomorrow as well as a vocab quiz. Worked 4-9. Okay, well, actually, I got off earlier b/c Hyvee was dead, but, w/e. This was like my 5th day of actual work, and I can foresee my whole Hyvee career already. I've become fascinated (as I'm sure every Hyvee employee does at some point or another) w/the customers. I've begun to make up stories about their lives.

Take this guy who came in both today and y-day. Twice y-day, I think, and once today. He's all tall and scraggly and one eye wanders and he walks a dragging walk. He bought a 6-pack of those mini-coke can thingermajigs. He reminds me of a tree. I fantasize that he lives in the trailer park and has a great love of Walker Texas Ranger, working on his pick-up truck, and chewing the chew. None of this satisfies him though. Only the mini cokes do it. They are the joy of his day. He feels like a child, young and free when he drinks these things. He used to do drugs, and once had a terrible tussle w/a golden retriever, but now life is simpler and all there is to do is enjoy each passing day. He likes sunrises and wears flowers in his hair when nobody is around.

I am insanely bored and it is 3:00a.m. and I'm not tired and nobody is on the IM (obviously e-one else goes to bed at a decent hour) and I need to go pee. I think I'll go do that.

Did he wear a stocking cap with a really (and I mean really) scraggly beard? If so, he lives with his mom in Hardy, he's one of the two volunteers on the Hardy Fire Dept, and his name is Caveman Doug.
