Interrupted
My Life Thus Far
Unwanted Male Attention
Two late nights in a row is too much. I remember back when I used to go to the club every Friday night and drink shots of tequila like they were nothing... clearly those days are long behind me. I woke up this morning feeling tired, dehydrated, foggy, and a little cranky. I got a full 8 hours and felt like I could have slept another 4 hours. Unfortunately there was no time for that. I had to work. I stopped at Starbucks and got a green smoothie and my usual soy latte. Which helped, but it still took some time.
Work wasn't nearly as busy as it was yesterday. A blessing and a curse, really. A blessing because I didn't have the energy to keep up with all the needs of running 6 fitting rooms and a curse because it made the day go by slightly more slowly. It also didn't help that everyone seemed sensitive and on edge (like me) and Christine was visibly upset. The store was a mess and she was pretty irritated about it. I didn't see much of her all day because she was too busy trying to teach the new PINK girls PINK standards. The worst mess in the store. I ran the VS side and made sure I kept moving as not to incur her wrath.
Snookums took me to see Almost Christmas tonight. An extension of last night's date. There's only one theater in Kitsap County showing it and it was in Bremerton. The most culturally diverse city in the county, but still about 97% white, so it was amusing seeing an Afrocentric movie with an almost entirely black cast filled with more white folks than black folks. Makes me question why no other theaters are showing it. It was a funny movie.
I don't know what's going on, but the past couple weeks I've seen a major uptick in the amount of attention men have been giving me. I have no idea why, either. It seems like everywhere I go, I'm always at the receiving end of unwanted male attention. I'm struggling to understand what makes it okay for men to approach women so brazenly, but it's deemed unacceptable for women to approach men in a similar fashion. I also find it disturbing that a man will totally dismiss me when I say I don't want to talk to him, but he'll back way the fuck off when he finds out another man has staked his claim to me already (I'm married). Sometimes I think being conventionally attractive is hella over-rated. I just want to be left alone.
