Shew, happy Friday. I spent most of this week working, I feel a little out of place at the shop. Everyone is so lovely but also actually knowledgable/interested in fashion and trends, while I stay out of regular stores and just dress to please myself. I have to kind of educate myself on the subject since we're responsible for taking in clothes to sell, but it's hard to muster that kind of enthusiasm for something so frivolous. BUT THAT'S OKAY, really its an ideal situation. I even missed a dramatic shoplifting by five minutes [which culminated in the young man screaming, 'I'M TAKING THE PANTS!' and bolting out the door wearing a pair of jeans and holding a tshirt]. Oddly enough, the lovely boy from a nearby bookshop turned out to be a new hire this week, I almost fell over when he walked in for his first day. 
We spent the week together but he's heading for the new store opening in Wicker Park, and I am too much of a chicken to propose that we get coffee/play frisbee/eat grilled cheese sandwiches together. HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT MAKING FRIENDS? Without being creepy, of course. It really mystifies me. That initial awkward gap... its amazing to me that we can ever bridge it. Maybe I'll have half a bottle of wine and go track him down at the bookstore again sometime and pretend to be brave.
There hasn't been time for much else, I've done a little wandering and another concert and had the most amazing milkshakes of my life. 7 dollars [Pulp Fiction, anyone?] but totally worth it. Come visit and they're on me! Much love.
