When it rains it pours.

There was actually THUNDER on the island today! Woo hoo! *does a little jig*

It rained for most of work today. Before I could get a hold of ponchos for my guests and myself, I already got soaking wet so I didn't bother putting one on after. I don't know what it is with everyone and pointing out the obvious. "Faye, you're all wet!" "Faye you're drenched!" "Faye, you're soaking!" "Faye, you don't have a poncho on!" Really - what do you say in reply to that?

Yeah, isn't it GREAT?!

Although I was wet and cold for most of my workday, I had a blast and my guests had fun too. They appreciated having a happy tour guide today. I'm glad.

I finally got myself a cup of hot chocolate. I still feel like I have a furry tongue. What a pity because I scored myself a bowl filled with shrimp scampi from a friend that works at the snackbar today and I couldn't enjoy it like I would have with more functioning taste buds. It was still yummy though. And I made some friends by offering them a few.


Chapter II: Faye Swears

Ooh. I forgot to tell you about the confrontation I had today. On Saturday, Jared and JD played detective and finally found the guy who was being demeaning to me on I-Tunes. I did know him. Met him a couple of times before through mutual friends. Wasn't sure if he remembered me. Jared and I talked about who would confront him and we finally decided that it'd be better if I did as much as Jared wanted to give him a piece of his mind.

I ran into the punk in the cafeteria today, before work, quite unprepared. I hadn't completely thought through what I'd say yet, but I knew that I needed to get it over with. Plus, I was wearing my uniform with my nametag on it, I thought that would be a good contextual clue for him.

I ran through what I would say in my mind - a few variations of it. Because I think it's kind of funny, I was afraid that I would fail to deliver the severity of what he had done. I wanted a real guilt trip. I wanted him to be so embarassed he couldn't look at me again. I finally sucked up some courage and went for it.

I walked up to his table and asked if I could talk to him for a minute, took him away from his friends (I'm not that mean) and said: "I heard that you f**ked me the other day."

Yeah, I used the most grevious of swear words right there in the cafeteria.

He pretended like he hadn't heard me. Maybe he couldn't believe his ears. Grr. It was hard for me to repeat myself.

I took a deep breath and said it again. This time adding "and you called me a bad kisser too."

He gives me this innoncent stare. "I don't know what you're talking about"

I said something to the effect of "Oh yes you do. You have a folder in I-Tunes named after me."

He furrows his brows, trying to look as if he doesn't know what I'm talking about. Really he's confused because he can't figure out how it got to me and how we knew it was HIM.

I went on to tell him how it was REALLY disrespectful and shameful of him to do something like that, and worse that I know him! I said that we weren't going to report him if he was nice and didn't do anything stupid like that again.

I said a few other things, thanked him for his time and walked away.

I'm not sure I got what I wanted through. I'm kicking myself now for some things I feel that I should have said. What would have been cooler was if I went up to him and said "Remember me? I'm Fei, the girl you f**Ked the other night. The bad kisser?"

Oh well. The moment has passed. I don't think I did too bad. It was a nice excuse to swear, at least. There's still been no change in the folder name according to Jared, but I can always confront him again. With backup, if it doesn't work this first time. And if worse comes to worse, I can always curse his love life. Hey - Jared's still unmarried! *grin*

But right now, I hope he feels like an absolute loser.

That was fun. Let's do that again!!!



Chapter III: Richie the Fugitive

If I were to guess, I would say that Richie has been avoiding me. He was home all day yesterday so I didn't see him at all. Quite a pity because I was wearing my Chinese dress and I really wanted him to see me in it. I always get a ton of compliments when I wear one. Yesterday was no exception.

Today, I went to the cafeteria at 6pm and much to my surprise, Richie came to dinner when I was there. Wow. First time it's happened by accident. I smiled at him as he came through the door and he smiled back. When a couple of people joined our table and filled the empty seats around me, Emily and Jared and I moved down a spot so we could leave one open for him. We ate and talked. And ate and talked. Still no Richie. I guess he sat somewhere else.

Ouch. I feel special.

We still hung around for a little while. Sometime after that, I thought I saw Richie speeding out the door again. In a hurry? Where to? He wasn't working tonight.

Jared and I finally left the caf, but not without smuggling 3 bags of chips out with us. (Man, I'm being quite the rebel today - first swearing, now this?!) He left to go to his Family Home Evening in Hale 1 (a.k.a. the nunnery) and I went home to pee.

As soon as I got out of the bathroom, I found a message waiting for me, telling me that a certain someone was in his FHE group and was already there waiting for it to begin. Needless to say, I was out the door within seconds. Jared really is my best friend. Thanks man.

I didn't know that Richie was giving the lesson but I'm glad I was there for that. I had fun.

When it was over, Richie thanked me for being there, apologized for having to go and sped off.

Gee thanks. It was great to see you too. Sort of.

To be fair, he's been going through a lot this past weekend and hasn't been himself. I just wish I was in a position to help and give comfort or something.

So yeah. Now I'm home blogging when I thought that I had nothing I wanted to blog about.

I should've just kissed the handsome prince who was watching pee in the bathroom earlier today (although he made me feel rather uncomfortable):







Yeah. There would have been far more potential there.
