forsomeone

My 20th birthday will be here on September 7th and I'm trying to figure out something to do. I want to do something special for myself, but I'm not sure what yet. Part of me wants to get my tatoo, but the other part of me doesn't... another part of me wants to hop a plane and just leave, but there is really nothing going on, that I can think of at least, that would drive me to visit one place or another. I have the money to go, just not the inclination to. I searched for things to do around town on that day, but nothing came up, same thing with Portland... I was thinking about getting my second ear peircing, but that just doesn't seem special enough. I can go down to the piercing parlor and get that done any day. I would go dancing but my b-day is on a Sunday and, I'm not turning twenty one so of course I can't get into the really good dance clubs. Hmmm... I'll probably ask Delivery Boy tomorrow what he did for his 20th. Maybe he did something cool. Although, I'm kind of thinking he just had a party and drank, which, for me, isn't all that appealing. I'm kind of looking to do something a little more symbolic.

Any suggestions?

I was at work on Friday, on the phone with yet another customer that needed something delivered into Eugene. While I was writing down her order, I was becoming frantic. I had five orders sitting in front of me, and no one to take them. I was going to have to call Jill when I hung up the phone and basically tell her that she was going to have to pack her boys in the car and take them everywhere for deliveries today.

Then it happened.

While I was on the phone, a guy walked in. I smiled in acknowledgment towards him, thinking that he’d just look around while I was on the phone. Instead, he came up to the cash register and just stood there, his hands clasped before him, waiting patiently for me to finish. While taking down my customers credit card number, I had a vague sense of déjà vu. While looking at the guy, I couldn’t help but think I had seen him somewhere, maybe on campus. I pushed it away though because… well, I was taking down a credit card number and that really should have been holding my attention more than it was.
