hello hello. i've tried to post several times in the last 2 weeks and each time something happens.--so here i am.

just got back from watching 'underworld:evolution' i have to say-the first one was better. of course there are all those sweet effects in the second one and kate is unbelievable, which is to be expected. but there's just something about the first one. maybe more magical.

i wore my 'i'm not interested in money, i just want to be wonderful'-m. monroe shirt today. i love it-it's a bit faded and shrunk perfectly to fit.

my niece is starting to stretch-out her strong legs and stand on my lap---and says 'dada'. she growls instead of goos, just like her auntie!

i'm contending with an interesting feeling this evening-have you ever had someone in your life that when you spend time with them the world (and all it's required tasks) become a foggy haze? i find myself walking & talking & experiencing...hanging on our next words---the most important thing being right now. i don't know if it's love, sounds more like infatuation. either way-i have a love/hate relationship with this experience.

it lends itself to undone work, messy bathrooms, unkempt life, in general. you should see my car. it looks like a homeless woman who likes to read college-level biology books lives in there.

and at some point, when you leave the presence of this person, you have to come up out of this moronic stupor & tend to 'things'---and i'm a bit lazy as it is, so this part is hard.

how do people fall in love neatly? it's always baffled me--or is that the sign of infatuation? love=clean sink ~ infatuation=soiled toilet.

anyway, so after the movie i went wondering around & walked into a few stores. one of them the 'fossil' store. very cute workers there tonight. shane & wes. fun to talk to-we talked of the goriness of uw 2. looked at watches for a friend, chatting it up with the both of them-giving them crap for a cropped jacket that cost SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLARS. they agreed it was ridiculous. i told them thanks & left.

so i then started to leave the mall, putting back on my down vest, zipping it up, struttin my new(used) red leather heals...and behind me i hear, 'hey,' 'hey you,' i turn around. it was shane, from fossil. right there behind me in front of 'pizza villa'. this shane kid is beautiful. very noticeable. simple-but different. we both just kinda stood there for a second. immediately i felt like i was in a movie.

uuhhh..

he says, 'so what do you do for a job?' i first just kinda stood there staring @ him, smiling-wondering WHERE this could possibly go. and he goes, 'well if you're ever looking for a part-time job, let us know, you've got a great personality.' and truthfully i told him i would keep it in mind (it's smart to always keep your options open;) 'so yeah,' he says, 'come on in & fill-out an app if you get a chance, we're looking for good people.' and as he said this he started walking backwards and just barely escaped running into one of those stupid kids cars that are shaped like, well, a car, red & obnoxious & frankly a hazard. the man could have been hurt!!!

so i motioned for him to look behind him & basically saved his life. or at least a bad head injury. anyway, i digress. shane had a alterna brown cap on, wore it slightly to the side & maybe is the only guy i've ever seen pull it off really well-like he literally just put it on & didn't look in the mirror. red simple cowboy shirt and jeans. that's it. but his smile & his laugh & the fact that he said 'crap' about something, like 'that's a bunch of crap.' it was cute.

so that made me feel good. i have these spurts of confidence that pop-up and suprise me...i wish i could plan it more. think it happens when i'm happy. or infatuated.
