above: my normal face, in it’s natural habitat of darkness. elaha’s supposed to be behind me, but she insisted that photos would bring about only the worst of consequences and so shielded herself with my blanket.
i spent most of the day at work.
i was at the front most of the time with charissa and then annie, and we danced and jived and made fools of ourselves in front of all the passers-by (although i think we brightened their day).
i kept getting paranoid that someone would eventually watch all of it on the security tapes and then i would subsequently be fired, but hopefully that won’t end up happening.
i kept seeing people i knew walking by the store.
a couple of people from school, a couple of people outside of school, and i even saw dave from second cup so i called him over for a chat.
i guess everyone’s just trying to get all of their christmas shopping done.
elaha and qais poorly simulated sex while waiting for me to leave work, and then we walked to my house for a good period of rest.
as the ritual goes, when we got into my room, we turned out all the lights, put on some bon iver and climbed into my bed.
there is something so wonderfully relaxing and tranquil about unbound and freely floating limbs. and since everything was immersed in a still kind of darkness, everything was okay.
but they fought a lot, and although this disturbed the peace, i didn’t really mind.
