Friday afternoon I took the streetcar up to the video store. There were displays of X-Men: The Last Stand action figures everywhere for some reason. I was talking to this other teenager for a while while we browsed movies when the manager behind the counter asked the two of us if we'd like to put in a few hours during the week because they were looking for new employees there. I've been wanting to get a job at the video store for a year, now more than ever, so this was so perfect.
I began to walk home, exicited to tell my parents, when I ran into my friend Mark, who I haven't seen since around July. We start to talk and then we notice that our mutual friend Jamie, who I haven't seen in even longer than that, is sitting on a bench outside the restaurant a few doors down from the video store, with his girlfriend who has bleached-blonde hair. Mark and I sit down with them and the four of us start talking and we're having a great time...
...and then I'm back on the couch in my TV room. How did I get back here? I was already here this afternoon before I...AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!
That was seriously so frustrating, I actually yelled that "aw" out loud and my sister asked what was going on. I mean, it's one thing to have a dream where you get superpowers or loads of money or have some great adventure or something and then wake up and find out it's not real, but this was just a regular, realistic day with some small good fortune.... is that too much to ask???
The next night, Saturday, my friend Jono(the AfroSamurai guy from the picture thread) calls out of the blue and says he and Jamie are swinging by to get me. When they get here, I ask Jamie if he has a girlfriend at the moment, he says yes. I ask if she's blonde. Yes. Bleach blonde? Yep. He then showed me a picture on his camera phone. Eerie.
That was awesome.
