today is thursday, october 22.
things are very up and down! i really do like it here, but at the same time, its proving to be completely impossible to meet anyone. yesterday i visited the local record store and attempted (in vain) to befriend the woman who owns thee fine establishment. she was not having it! in my stuttered, broken spanish i asked her various questions about the store, about an Lp i didn't recognize, about a local zine she had for sale. but alas! she was barely willing to utter an annoyed 'yes' or 'no' in response. i wanted to be honest, i wanted to tell her i was new in town, and lonely, and that if i couldn't meet people in a record store, than i was a lost cause. i wanted to grab her and shake her and yell "you must understand, you're my only hope!!!" but instead, i bought a zine, and left, defeated...
the fine picture you see here is my daily commute to school. my town is beautiful! my spirit restored!

Maybe she was just testing you and the next time you go in, you can talk about how you loved/hated the zine. Or go in and stare at her and touch all her merch and refuse to say anything (that will show her). Then she will be DYING to talk to you.
ReplyDeleteThe days must seem long with no one to talk to right now, but I have a feeling at the end of this you'll be crying over all the people you must leave behind.
