2 57 pm pst [ stupid me ]

There are two stupid things I've done recently. The first was a slip-up in the pronoun name. "What's his name?" I asked what his name was when talking to a lovely young lady about her current relationship. He's a she. I'm so good at this. I'm aware. I'm conscientious. I never asked my brother if he liked any girls. i asked if he was interested in anyone. I know better. But she mentioned an ex-boyfriend and my mind switched into hetero gear. I was mortified when she corrected me. Stupid me.

Number two was Saturday night. I got all gabby with a friend's boyfriend trying to convince him to come out with us and blah blah, not knowing they'd just broken up. He lied just to avoid having to explain it to me. I made him lie. I'm a dork. Stupid me.

And after all that, I've found someone who wants to pay me money. I have a part time job (2-7 pm) Monday through Friday. I start as soon as I have my final interview and get fingerprinted (no joke!). I am excited, and only a little scared. I don't want to spend $50 of my measly salary on bus fare, so I'm going to drive Matthew's old car, which means I really need to learn how to drive a stick. Scary! But at least I'll be making progress.
