Dazed and Confused

So, as I predicted there have been ridiculous amounts of people tripping out watching Alice in Wonderland in 3D. At this point I'm pretty sure stoners are the target demographic for a 3D Tim Burton movie. Also, according to an unnamed source the movie starts somewhere in the middle of the original books, but they made a new story where Alice returns to Wonderland as some kind of prophesied champion like it was some bad Narnia rip off. I might still watch it, seeing as it's free, but I'm expecting less than I did last week.

Besides watching all the baked kids come in and laughing as people pay extra for the 3D movie just to sneak into Green Zone, some kind of Matt Damon/Bourne thriller that I cannot even begin to explain after watching the trailer, I found amusement by talking to a few of my sober customers. Some girl I hadn't seen was complaining that the theater across the street owned by the same company as ours closes a few hours earlier than mine and she therefore had to pay for her movie and couldn't get passes. I simply said, "blame Marla" (who runs the other theater) and the girl laughed and agreed.

About an hour later, a 17 year old girl came in without an ID to Shutter Island, so she had to wait for her older sister to buy her ticket for her. She stayed and talked to me asking how bored I was standing doing nothing at box office, and made me jealous that as a hotel receptionist she can bring her laptop to work and go on the internet without everything being blocked. She told me about a little drama she had going on, and so I told her some of mine. She agreed that Marla coming in whenever she wanted, hanging out with my boss (aka her bff) for no reason when I was working, and then continually trying to get back with me meant my drama was supreme. She told me I would find somebody better, and although that wouldn't be difficult I told her I already had.

Dreaming In Supernatural

So a few nights ago I had a very interersting, but also awesome dream. It was a mix of Supernatural, Legion, and also oddly enough pokemon. If you haven't seen Supernatural, but can also sit through horror movies I would highly recommend you check it out.

Commence Dream Sequence:

I'm driving down an abandoned superhighway in a black mustang. It seems to me that this must be some kind of post-apocalyptic wasteland and I see some figure out of the corner of my eye. I pull over, holding a shotgun loaded with rock salt and notice some kind of creature chowing down on the remains of some poor, helpless sap. As I pumped my double barrel in preperation to deal with what laid before me, I saw the creature's head twitch. From behind I hadn't been able to see what I had been dealing with, but as it turned it I clearly saw the face of my now undead ex-girlfriend with chunks of flesh and oozing bone marrow flowing between her teeth.

As soon as she saw me she charged with the intensity of a crackhead racing for a candy bar. As my ex had now become a full demon, body, mind, and soul (instead of the regular old bitch she used to be), I filled her up with rock salt once in the chest and then aimed high for the second. Apparently my dilligent hours spent watching Supernatural had not done the trick as I had only mildly slowed her down, but mostly just pissed her off. I broke off running in the other direction with the demonic bitch not far behind me. I instinctively wipped out my iPod and browsed my options and finally selected HM02: Fly. A bit painfully I might add, wings sprouted from my back with the same intensity as in Dogma and I took off just barely escaping the clutches of Marla: Demon Bitch.

After a few minutes of flying I spotted a Guns & Ammo shop and landed about 100 yards away (still needing time to hide the wings I had just sprouted.) I banged on the boarded up doors and windows and just as I looked back inside I had a rifle pointed at my head. "Drop your weapons or I'll shoot" muttered the hillbilly shopkeeper with bad hygiene. I hastily replied, "Look, I'm not the one you're going to need to worry about in a few minutes. I just need some shells and I'll be on my way." I saw him let his guard down and quickly took the rifle from his shaking arthritis ridden hands. "Motherfucker" he muttered. I set his rifle down on the counter and began to load up my shotgun with the shells I badly needed, when I felt the entire room shake. The door flew off it's hinges with the shopkeeper now pancaked to the back wall and Marla now standing in the doorway, ready for round 2.

Just as I had loaded the shells, the gun was knocked from my hands and flown across the room. I blocked the first few blows with the rifle I had borrowed with every intention of returning, but was no match for her unyielding attacks. I was almost subject to me heart being ripped from my body, literally this time, when a barrage of bullets dropped Marla like nobody's business. Sam stood in the doorway as Dean used the handy double tap philosopshy and pulled the trigger with his shotgun aimed at Marla's head. "What the hell was that?" asked Sam. "Demon." I quickly replied. "Son of a Bitch!" Dean exasperated.

The End

p.s. although a few minor details of this dream may have been glorified just a touch. This is, more or less, what I remember.

The Hierarchy

Over the time I've been working at the movie theater, there have been quite a few girls who have admitted having crushes on me. Although I usually hear this information second hand bc let's face it, unless you see it actually going anywhere why would you tell someone you have a crush on them anyway?

So, one day me and Brooke were bored and she wanted to know why Marla would get jealous all the time. So, we compiled a list of all the girls that definitely had expressed feelings and also had to set a few under review. Although I never really did anything to warrant the constant jealousy, and never cheated on her, on pure numbers alone I could see a little better where she was coming from (just a touch of course).

Later on, this list was transformed by my current gf into a hierarchy ranking levels of affection of all the girls. Hopefully none of them will ever read this, but Katie (GF!!!) will be left off for now for the integrity of the old list. So here goes (I'll put them in list order and then the evidence to justify their ranking).

Actual Affection / Craziness

1. Marla: Claimed to be in love, relationship for 3 years, tried several times to get back with me after broken up, threatened girls with a machete (not really).
2. Sam M: Would call me over several month intervals asking when I would break up with Marla so I could start dating her.
3. Pam: Had someone drop her at my house and got in my bed to try to seduce me. Needless to say, it didn't work.
4. Roxas: Told basically every guy I worked with that I was hot and loved my body. However, she hated Marla in High School so that may have been a contributing factor.

Your Average Everyday Crushes

5. Samm: Apparently looked at me like she wanted to throw me down all day every day. Also, had to explain to someone why she was staring at my ass.
6. Alex: Told Katie on more than one occasion she liked me. When asked she answered, "Well yeah, It's Twammer. How can I not?" (Or something like that)
7. Karolina: Started a "joke" rumor that me and her had sex, I was huge, and I cut her in half. Also, her friend told me she talked about me all the time.
8. Christine: On her last day left me a note in my suit jacket saying, "call me when you're available." I was dating Marla at the time, and nobody else's note said that...

Just Interested in My Body / Compulsive Flirt

9. Melissa R: Recorded saying if things don't work with her bf, I was still there. No thanks, not gonna be anybody's safety school.
10. Katie G: Most likely drunk when sent me a barrage of texts saying she saw me cute little name and needed to talk to me
11. Sam G: Flirty with EVERYONE, but aways fixed my tie and "needed to prove" she gave quality hugs by pressing with force when I gave her crap once about a weak one.
12. Betsy: Asked me to go to Turn-about. That's about it.

Now, as I stated earlier, in the telling of this list other girls have been proposed to be on the list as well. However, there is not enough evidence in my opinion to place these girls on the hierarchy. If at some point in time, the truth is revealed changes will be made, but for now they will remain under review.

Under Review

1. Brooke: After two days of knowing me, told me she would (and I quote) "do anything in bed" for five minutes longer on her break. [Accusers - Stephanie, Alyssa]
2. Alyssa: Whenever she was upset at her bf she called me until I had given enough advice and was sick of being her go-to-girl. [Accusers - Brooke]
3. Janice: We talked a lot, but never really went anywhere. Went on a kind of group hang that didn't go very well. [Katie, Alyssa]
4. Jenn: Tried to get me to hang with her a lot, including once when she was drunk and according to Marla, tried to lure me over to her. [Katie, Marla]
5. Ashton: Absolutely no possible evidence whatsoever. Jessica foolishly has claimed she should be on the list since it's inception, but hogwash I say. [Jessica]

Well, thanks to Jessica my perfect symmetry (provode?) has been thrown off, but oh well. If anybody has been reading these posts they must have realized by now that Katie and my friends are the shining spots in my life right now, but I see this blog as mostly a place to vent so writing about how awesome they are would be counterproductive. However, since the original hierarchy has gone missing it's nice to unwind and immortalize this one.

Time to stop caring

I'll keep this brief. Apparently the girl I dated for 3 years and broke up with a year ago "cheated on me". Just hearing about this info a few hours ago, I realized I really don't care anymore. Who gives a shit if she made out with some guy while we were dating or banged some jock during a month while we were on a break (which to me really doesn't count as cheating, she would just be more of a bitch for not telling me herself). There's no way to know if this is actually true because even if I asked her I wouldn't get a straight answer, if I got an answer at all, and I doubt the girl who told me has any actual proof.

Now, maybe most people would be mad, and maybe I even should be. But at this point, I'm happy with someone else and this is just be one more reason I shouldn't have let that shit with "Marla" last as long as I did. Everyone tells me I'm too normal, and this kind of thing does happen to people every day, but is it normal to just let it go? I hope so because that's what I plan on doing.
