Hi there internet! Well, I am in my last week of winter break before classes start up again. It’s gone by ridiculously quickly, which is what two jobs and a Christmas visit to your dad’s house that goes FREAKING HORRIBLY will get for you, I guess.

(How horrible was the Christmas visit? Too painful to post about in any length – I’ll just say that it involved my extended step family all hating me and my being in the middle of like a five-person pile-up of misunderstandings and arguments for four straight days, and leave it at that.)

DAMN.

But anyway, today I was at Job B, the gallery. And we had a celebrity visit! Well, actually two, sort of. In the morning the manager said that mtv had contacted her about obtaining (because they didn’t offer to pay, and also said explicitly that we won’t be getting them back) a whole bunch of these really cool dinner plates we sell, for the upcoming Real World Australia season. And YOURS TRULY was the one to box those puppies up and send ‘em on out! Ah, the glamour.

And THEN, in the afternoon, guess who came in? The star of 13 Going on 30! (I honestly forget her name. I have a bad memory for names, dates, and…er, proper nouns in general, I guess.)

Yes, she totally did! Alone except for a really cute baby she was talking to and playing with the whole time. All of us in the gallery worked VERY VERY HARD to stare at every move she made while appearing to ignore her completely. I was the best at it I think, because I was doing paperwork the whole time and just LISTENING to everything she said. And she was very sweet to her cute cute baby, and very polite to all of us, and just very normal. Except for the obviously million-dollar-esque handbag she was holding.

Also she was very beautiful but in totally normal clothes, and just looked like a normal wealthy woman, not like someone who has kissed Mark Ruffalo repeatedly, eeeeeeee!!

Tomorrow E and I are going to Helen, which is this (apparently) very lovely German town up in mountainous northern Georgia. We’ll be there for two nights, sort of to celebrate the six-month anniversary and also to detox from the horrible time at my dad’s. We’re going to stay at a cabin and go hiking and see waterfalls and possibly pan for gold (yes! You can do this in small northern Georgia towns!) and eat a shitload of German food.

Woo! I’ll post photos of the Germanness when I return on Saturday. Take care!
