lifetheuniverse @ : Update
On Saturday me and my parents hanged out with Ms. Moses at the house she was house sitting at. I like Ms. Moses, but she likes my parents more now. She has a boyfriend and while we talk I do feel more of a distance now. When Ms. Moses worked long hours that took her away from her friends she needed to talk with more more on the phone. Now that she has been virtually laid off and only shows up to try to fill in for other people's shifts she has less need of me.
However I am certain we were the only people she invited over to that house she was housesitting at which made me feel honored in a way. She was an excellent hostess which she takes pride in. Sometimes I feel someone criticized her int he past about her ability to host which now mean she works harder at it. She made us all sandwhiches. She's very sweet. She approached and gave me a hug before I left.
There was a wonderful golden retriever there that would roll over and whine for attention too.
That night, my neighbor Gawain prevailed on Hercules to take us all to Avatar. Hercules was going there with Brick-Chin but thanks to Gawain asking enough we were also given a ride there too. My protests that I didn't have enough cash for the event was overruled by Gawain who had enough money saved up to pay for my ticket. We arrived an hour early and when Brick-Chin and Hercules split off from the group, me and Gawain wandered around and looked at animals in a nearby pet store.
Then- AVATAR.
Not only was it Avatar, it was Avatar 3-D.
On Sunday it was quite busy. First there was the church service where the Pastor apologized for the behavior of one of his staffers who was a total dick to me about ten days ago. (They didn't mention his or my name). The Pastor was like, any staffer whose a dick from now on will be removed from some sort of ceremonial position. That makes me feel better that the Pastor when he got wind of it cracked down on the staffer and not me.
What had happened was this staffer had lost his temper with me in a private meeting, called me names, and belittled me. I was surprised to hear the Pastor actually apologize for this in the sunday service. It raises my respect and esteem for the Pastor.
After the sunday service I went to a home group for an hour. There I met Irish Spring who wants a website but can't pay for it. She also wants a laptop, and can pay for it. That's great because soon I will have a laptop- and now I already have a buyer for it.
After the homegroup I had a business meeting with one of the women I am developing a website for. She's only paying $100 for the design and everything. I'm very competitive in this market haha! She gave me a $50 check for work rendered so far. She's promised to send me three clients for website creation.
Then I went out and ministered to the homeless. That was great fun! It's great to leave the church and go out and do good things. Also a guy helping out with the ministry might have more work for me to do.
Then monday evening I went caroling for the first time in my life! I had skipped going to this group since Hercules went there all the time. And you know how I feel about Judas Hercules, the man who gave my job away to the woman he met dancing...
It was so much fun to go to this youth group and wander door to door with the youth group and sing to people. I made it a game to sometimes race to ring the door bell then run or jump over shrubbery to get back to the main mass of people before the door opened. When the people inside asked us where we were from, I always got a laugh from the people with me when I said 'I'm from Washington State'.' due to its unexpectedness.
At the party in the warm amber colored interior of the house afterwards, whenever the games slowed down and other people drifted away into their own private conversation bubbles I felt a sort of inky black sadness grip my soul. I knew I was not one of them even though they accepted me as one of them. I was older, and didn't quite fit in. I would never date any of them or be that close with them except one or two guys. Those guys were nice. JohnnyJohnny was a more spiritually mature dude my age who asked me how I was and listened. I shared more with him then I usually do. The gift giving game was also fun, I gave away three books including one which accidentally belonged to Hercules.
