I've also gotten on good terms with Phillip, who until recently just would look at me. It turns out I'm a little older than he is. He said I look 16, lol! Well, his music style isn't what I prefer, but he is into cars, something I've recently taken a liking to since having one of my own. He also likes RPGs, though he doesn't play them as often as I do. His friend is making an RPG using RPGMaker 2003. I'm using RPGMaker 2000, but will upgrade to 2003 when I get around to it. He said he's interested in the game I'm making after I advertised it to him, lol. I'm only on the freaking first town, though.

When I talked to Mike about what jokes Steven and he made about me standing in the Harry Potter line, he laughed and said they didn't say anything about it, but asked me if I got it, since they're sold out now.

Yesterday, when I came into work, I passed Carly's car, surprised to see her sitting inside and reading the new Harry Potter book. Without even trying, I found out from Andy that she had it reserved at another store.

When I was on break, Assistant Manager Pat called me into the office whenever I was done with my break, which turned out to be twice as long as it was supposed to be because he was talking to Mike and I had to wait. I sure didn't complain about the extra reading time, though! When I did go in, it was a interview for the ICS job opening... finally! He basically asked me why I wanted the job, what my hours were currently, and told me what I'd have to be doing. Mainly, I'd be stocking shelves, making sure the back room was tidy, and helping unload the truck when they come in during the evening. Oh yeah, and they have a boom box back there and they often listen to hard rock, hehe! It will be full-time instead of what I have now, plus it will pay like 50 cents more an hour. He said that he'd be talking to the people greeters mostly, since I work most closely with them, and that the determining factor for which 2 or 3 of the 12 applicants get the position will be exclusively attitude and work habits displayed in their current job and will not be affected by knowledge of what an ICS member has to do. Well, in that case, it's either good or bad for me. Good because the greeters have nothing but good to say about me. Bad because when I told them about it, they laughed evily and said they would say bad things about me because they don't want me to leave. I hope I get the job, though. I need the money with my dad looking for work.

Nick from work came up to me and wanted to know if I wanted to go see "The Italian Job" with him on one of our days off. I didn't object. That was a nice surprise.

Speaking of Italian, after church yesterday, our family went out to eat lunch at The Olive Garden with Ashley, Heather, and Bro. Jim and Sis. Judy (Heather's parents). I, of course, had lasagna (haha, Jamie!). Amy ordered pizza but they forgot about it and when we were leaving, they gave it to her in a box, free. The food was good, though. It always is. I love The Olive Garden.

For a bit of unexpected news, when I was walking into work today and almost to Layaway, in which the door to the break room and time clock is, I turned the corner and saw Carly was walking behind me. I was carrying my book in my hand and she had obviously seen it. I had previously pondered asking her how the book was the next time I saw her, leaving to fate whatever outcome would come about from me talking to her, and was now deciding if I should do it now or some other time. Almost spontaneously, I turned around to face her, and surprisingly, she had a smile on her face. Before I could say anything, she asked me how I liked the book and what page I was on. I told her I didn't remember and she said I should get a bookmark, but that she was on page 200 and feeling like a slacker. I found my place; it was page 84, but I haven't been reading it a home much. She said how it gets more interesting later on, and she had told everyone that she can't do anything for the next 2 weeks. I knew it was because she wanted to have as much time as possible to read.

Well, I'm tired now, and almost didn't write this entry because Amy was on the computer and I started this right when she got off. I'll read others' entries and write notes tomorrow. Oyasumi nasai.
