Wandering Aimlessly

I'm trying to stuff too many things into too few days here. Thursday was Blue Stone Circle at Margaritaville again. After the show we stayed and talked to AJ, which was cool. He's so adorable. Friday was our last bowling. Sadness!! Let's see if I can remember everyone who went. Luis went! I just love Luis. Joaquin and Marcus and Heather and Carolyn and Carolyn's friend Amanda and Amy and Andre and Amy's friend (didn't catch his name), and then Jeremy and Gina met us at karaoke after Gina got off work. I bowled a 142, which I think is my best game (woohoo!). I *almost* beat Marcus. I was for a while, and then he went and got two strikes in his tenth frame. Ah well. Heehee.

Carolyn and I karaokeed "I Drive Myself Crazy," and then I did "Everything I Own" with Heather. Ha ha ha. I even did Lance's little speaking part. That's the whole reason I agreed to do that song in the first place. I played video games with Luis, which was a good time. Lol. I am not much of a videogame person, so it was probably amusing to him to watch me fight with the controls.

Yesterday was the most fun day at work ever. Our restaurant was completely dead. Like, they *always* keep two registers out until at least 7:30 (we close at 8), and sometimes three until 6:30 or so. Well, I was out on register until my break at 4, and when I went on break, Stephen pretty much had Jessica bank out, and he never put me back out there. So we had one register from 4:00 or 4:30 on. I had brought my resume in so that Stephen can give it to his friend for an advanced internship, and I was sitting out at my register before break and he walks up to me while I'm with a guest and just stands there leaning on my register. When the guest left, he handed me a piece of paper. I was like "what's this?" and he said "There are two openings in guest relations right now. When can you move down?" and I was like "Not until January." AHHHH!!! That is so one of my dream jobs. I have to finish school. There is no option. But I really am thinking that come January, I'm coming back here, at least for a couple years.

So. During my break, I went to the managers office to work on the computer fixing up my resume. I had brought the one from the end of school, but it didn't include this college program or OSC. It took me about an hour after my break to finish it. We were trying to come up with a way to make working in a pizza place sound impressive. <.giggle> After that, I went and made pizzas for like 10 minutes, but there were so few guests that we were completely stocked on pizzas, so the manager sent me, Jessica, Devan, Harold and Dallas out to another quick service restaurant to rate one of their cashiers and one of their bussers. So we got a half hour to wander around the park and stuff. We came back and discussed our findings, S gave us ice cream, and then we cleaned up around the kitchen a bit and left. In between all of that, we were totally goofing off, singing Christmas songs (in preparation for Christmas in July, of course!), dancing, and having a great time. I'm so going to miss those people.

And then last night. The thing I really wanted to blog about. Carolyn, Amy, Jen, Lisa, Diana, Brandi, Jessica, Karen, Molly (Karen's roommate... I think that was her name), and I went to see I-4 play at Dante's. I love them. I love them! They're so great. Their sound guy kinda sucked, and they had no monitors halfway through the first song. So they stopped, and in testing things out, Jared started playing classical music on the violin. I melted. Seriously. Then he started playing Cannon in D, and everyone joined in. They improved for like five minutes, making Pachelbel's Cannon all rock, and it was just awesome. I think that was my favorite part. When they got the sound figured out, they continued on with their set, which I loved also.

We, of course, blinded them with our flashes again, and once the show was over, we hung out to talk to them. Caleb is leaving, which is so sad. He wants to go to college. Good for him, but we'll miss him. So they're auditioning a new bassist. We chatted with Jared for a while, and he was trying to talk us into going to Longwood on Thursday to see them play there. Eeek. Longwood's a little farther than downtown Orlando, but we'll see. I do really want to see them again. Then we got a picture with most of them, which I hope turns out. After that we chatted with Ben, and he's really awesome, too. When we first got there, Diana, Brandi, Jessica and I were waiting outside for the other girls to arrive, and Ben came up and asked if we were there to see one of the bands. I said "Yes, you guys" and he got this surprised look on his face and then a huge grin and was all "You know I'm in a band?" <.g> They're so great. I love them. They're so friendly and personable and talented, and they need to come out with an album that actually has all of them on it, darn it! Everyone loved them (Carolyn, Karen and I were the only ones who had seen them before), which I was happy about. I'm so jealous that I'm leaving and I don't get to be a real groupie. Ha ha.
