//mood//pretty good, for once

it's been about a week since i updated...but, whatever.

//end.of.crew_get.naked
okay, so sunday was the end of mr. ripley, which actually got picked up for a 6-week run at the egyptian theatre in l.a.--but, it doesn't really concern me, but i think it's really cool that they get to have some real theatre time...that's damn cool.

anyways, yeah, sunday was the end of crew. after the last show and strike, i drove lore to her house then i went over to lindsay's for a get-together. i drank a little bit, and ended up streaking down the street--my white un-tanned ass and all. it was almost pitch-black in the neighborhood and there was this white-ass bouncing down the street. apparently it was comedy gold indeed.

//wednesday+nikki
i've been working again, since monday. making money. good.

rewind to a couple weeks ago: i meet a new-hire named nikki, my age, cute and funny. she kinda sticks out in my mind.

okay, back to present. last week i worked one shift on monday last week, and nikki comes all the way from the loading area to temple (which is on opposite sides of the ride almost, it's kinda far) just to give me hug and say bye. and she still sticks out in my mind, and i smile.

and i worked all week this week, and monday and tuesday nikki wasn't scheduled, but she's still at disneyland just chilling, because the place is bad-ass like that. anyways, she comes all the way over to the side of the station that i am on, which is an awkward trek just to say hi and give me a hug. this was the first time i saw her in regular street clothes. my reaction: hey it's nik--hey, it's nikki. she looked all nice and curvy. she sticks out in my mind more, and i smile a little more.

tuesday, nikki comes by backstage to say hi to me again. we talk a little since i was on my break and we hug and say bye. sticks out, smile, rock on.

wednesday, yesterday. nikki is working...mind you we haven't worked a shift together for awhile, a long while...not when we both knew it. anyways, we didn't really see eachother during our shifts until the very end when we walked the track to look for lost-and-found items. we start having this conversation about dating and what-have-you.

long-story-short, i eventually asked her out on a date, and she was so cute, and said yes.

anyways, we talk for the longest time in the parking lot--me in my street clothes, her in her indy costume--but i have to leave to go to karaoke. she didn't want to stop talking to me--neither did i with her. so, she went to the block and went to karaoke with me, in her indy costume...i just thought it was hella sweet of her to do that. anyways, karaoke is over, and we're still talking in that parking lot...until like, 1:20am-1:30am, because she wanted me to type my anthro paper...

it was an awesome night, and nikki is just something else...

good things are happening.
