Lego Guy Walking.

Not much skin picking today! Although there should have been due to what happened later in the day...

Today started out superb. I was feeling better than I had in the past month. Hopped on the bus, hopped off the bus to get some green tea from Starbuck's, hopped on a different bus (and snuck said green tea onto bus), then arrived near the hospital, walked across the street, and soon walked into class a couple minutes late like always. (I get on the bus an hour and a half before class even starts so that's a bummer... ah well, I do love my sleep since I go to sleep really late.)

Anyway, later on after class, my good day was sort of shattered when I saw various police cars, a firetruck, an ambulance, yellow tape... all in front of my work's building.

My work had money stolen from it in a confrontational way just before I had arrived. Many assume the suspicious man who visited us earlier in the week is to blame. I won't go into anymore detail. I must be as vague as possible. I will say this though... 'stealing of money' has almost doubled all across the United States, maybe even the world. The dwindling economy is most likely to blame.

Onto another subject... shall we?

I was feeling moody the rest of the day at work. Everyone was sort of in a weird, tired, anxietic mood as well.

After work my boyfriend picked me up and I began to snap out of my somber mood. We immediately headed for a fabric store. For his mom's Mother's Day gift, my boyfriend is wanting to recreate an OlanMills studio photo of him as a 4-year-old being all cute and posed with his charming little boy smile. Of course, you get it right? My boyfriend is now 26-years-old and wants to recreate that EXACT pose and smile, not to mention the same background. He will also be wearing similar clothes and will comb his hair the exact same way.

Well, we went to the fabric store and to our amazement... 3 yards of grayish colored fabric costs $10 or more. A silly price for 'cheap fabric' we thought. So I told my boyfriend "I'll photograph you on some light blue fabric I have at home, and then I'll scissor you out and photoshop you onto a background similar to the gray ones in your photo." Good idea, me!! My boyfriend quickly agrees and is elated. He doesn't have to spend money on fabric now, ya see?

My boyfwiend plans to spend Mother's Day with his mom on Monday, instead of Sunday (his mom is working 12 hours that day)... so we do have a bit of extra time to work on this. Actually, I really don't have too much time to work on this with my school finals coming up, and my mom's Mother's Day on Sunday, but yeah... I'm gonna try to help him out.

Because he is a NICE boyfriend, he is.

We'll be doing the photo tomorrow right when I'm off from work.

Mmmm... just had more green tea. I am so thirsty it's ridiculous. I drank 5 cups of tea today. I think I usually drink 1-3 cups. Eh! I should go drink some water for a change. Haven't been drinking liters of water like I used to.

Whatevs!

Sleepy-bye-night-night!
(Goodnight.)





p.s. I depicted the event that happened at work today in Lego form. In MS Paint (that's all we have at work), I simply drew a walking Lego guy that sort of resembled the grainy photos of the suspicious man who took what wasn't his. I drew him walking toward a sign that said 'Hello, Mr. Obvious'. Then I deleted the drawing. For a moment, it was a lighthearted way of dealing with what had happened earlier, I guess. And maybe finding some comedy in it.
