Calm
bored outta my gourd. nothing to do, no book to read, no one to talk to and Im just here. Thats it. Just exist. nothing more nothing less. Today I went back to sukis, built up all my courage, planned exactly what I was going to say and everything. Well turns out that Kenny G isnt in again until thursday (the manager) So what was I to do? Stick it out until thursday? I dont think so. So I expained to the receptionist (it was a different guy today) that I was on practicum there and that I wouldnt be continuing. They said I could come back on Thursday and talk to Kenny then. Uhhh no thanks. Then I went to the back to get Elicia's umbrella that she entrusted me with yesterday and low and behold it isnt there. Well, all the people in the salon arent the same as the ones that were in yesterday, so everyone was looking at me like 'you look pretty comfortable snooping around a place you've never been'. This guy asked me what I was doing and then I told him and he helped me look for it. Gone. Tons of other umbrellas there but not Elicias. So I had to buy her another one and I did just that. So from there, I walked to Bambu, the original salon I wanted to go to, in Yaletown. Found my way quite nicely I might add. I went in, the manager happened to be sitting at the front desk. I talked to her, told her my story and she said that it wouldnt be a problem for me to start tomorrow. She took down my name and number, gave me a run through on what I'd be doing and what the dress code was and that was it. A whole new practicum with much nicer people...or so they seem. They must be pretty good if Laura would go there right? What I load that took off my back. The dress code is all black. I ontly brought one pair of black pants and one shirt. Truth of that matter is, I only own two shirts that are solid black and ones short sleeves. So I shopped around for a black shirt. Did I find one? Well I found many, but either the nice ones were too expensive or the medeocre ones werent worth dishing the cash out for. Ever had that happen? You go shopping specifically to buy and for some reason you cant bring yourself to spend the money? I DID find an extremely cute pair of black shoes at aldo that were regular $100 and on sale for $30. Oh how my feet yearned to belong in those shoes. I could hear kyles voice as it repeated for the millionth time " you dont NEED more shoes!" whatever buddy. Ill be the judge of that. And yet, I still couldnt do it. hmph. lonely. where are the fwuffs in a time like this?
oh right I didnt even explain my title. They have a little essence booth set up at pacific centre. they give out free samples of as many things as you want. So I replenished my old sample of the vanilla bean body butter and got a new kind called calm. A fitting name and smells delightful.
