there's an overly emo guy who works the overnight at 7-11 on guadalupe & 26th. he has the short hair cut with long, sweeping bangs on one side, the tight jeans. i can't remember what he was listening to the last time saw him, but this morning it was fisherspooner. "emerge" to be exact, which i love.
yesterday when i went to 7-11 at 05:20, there was a guy with really short shaved hair listening to death metal. these guys are always totally nice. there was a guy who used to work at the metro forever ago, back when they were actually open 24 hours and you were allowed to smoke upstairs. in the middle of the night he always played metal. one night i specifically remember (and i recently read the journal entry) he lit my cigarette while he bussed tables and the descendents were playing over the PA.
the emo guy, though, not so nice. last time when he checked me out, he dragged, "do you need a baaaag?" i suppose he could have just been high, but i have experience with that too. the 7-11 on riverside at lakeshore dr. used to have this awesome guy as their overnight who was perpetually stoned. i loved him, and he knew me. emo guy is not a friendly stoner if he is a stoner.
this morning, he was standing outside talking to this chick in the shortest skirt imaginable. a black guy with short dreds checked me out, drumming the counter to "emerge" (so maybe it was his music). when i got back into the car, owen pointed out emo guy and the prostitute.
okay, so she wasn't a prostitute, but she looked like one. her skirt was hugging her ass, and she had on these heels that made her sound like a horse as she clomped around the store front. she was about as thick and hearty as a noodle; she has passed the possibility of hotness and graduated to crackhead hooker. owen said she burst out of the door while i was inside and yelled, "bitch!" emo guy quickly persued. domestic problems?
my allergies are killing me. i had to blow my nose so much last night and this morning, my nostrils feel like they're on fire. i have a bad headache. i do not want to work.
