Job Interview, Old Friends, then PARRRRRTAAAAAY

My job interview at Bath and Body Works went well. It was one of those group interviews that really didn't give the manager a chance to really see me, but it did show how I get along with people I'm in competition with, which is good. But the manager seems really nice, she was smiling and laughing, and the whole interview flowed really well and it was more of an easy conversation while getting business done. B&BW in general seems like a really great atmosphere where I'll have a lot of fun doing it. All of the people there are really happy and they're always smiling. It's just a sunny and cheerful place, which is really great. I'm hoping it'll be very low stress. And who wouldn't want discounts at Bath and Body Works and Victoria's Secret? That's damn sweet, if you ask me. They're also only looking for people to work 15-20 hours a week, which is exactly what I want. So I'm really hoping this works out.

The other night I talked to one of my best friends from high school. I haven't heard from Josh in about 3 years, and it really made my day. He was one of the friends that I would go to with just about anything, and he was always good for making people feel better about it. You can't be around him and not smile. And he's freaking talented to boot! I'm so excited for him. He won the Met Districts (or was it Regionals? It was late...) as a senior, and he's going to a great program for grad school. I'm still smiling when I think about how well he's doing. I can't wait to see what his career is going to be.

Last night was fantastic! I went out with Julia, Becca, and Tim to Mad Mex to catch up, because it's been awhile since we all got together. Julia and I had a couple Big Azzes (the new watermelon flavor is disappointing, but the mango never fails to impress), and Tim left early to go meet some friends he'd had plans with, so it turned into a girls night. I am such a guy most of the time, that I LOVE going out with the girls. There are things that guys don't get and you need some estrogen to be able to understand, so we unloaded all of our troubles and got problems we couldn't tell other people out in the open, then the next minute we were laughing so hard I was afraid margarita was going to come out of my nose. It was definitely a night I needed. After that, I headed out to a party with some of my Scotch 'n' Soda friends that I haven't seen in a while. Steven was there, and drunk Steven is always an educational experience. I swear, I learn more about music from him after he's had a few drinks than I have in almost any music history class, except one that Paul Johnston teaches. They're about on the same level. Then after a lot of people left, it was just me and some of the guys, and that's always a blast. Since I grew up with guys pretty much being the only people I hung out with, that's when I'm my most at ease. I get competitive, and there's always great fun banter, and if you add beer to mix, I get even more relaxed. We were all up hanging out until 5 AM (Why do I keep doing this to myself? It only exacerbates the insomnia issue...), when Nick offered me the couch since I live hella far (I don't know why I keep using that word today), and I took him up on that. It was a damn comfy couch. I slept like a rock.

Now time to clean my room because CLAIREISSPENDINGTHENIGHTOMGSOEXCITED and drop by work for something.
