Day 7 and 8

So today is Tuesday, that would be day 8 right? Anyway, things are getting much better. I guess this blog will just combine the last few days. So Johnny is pretty much upset with me and thinks that the whole reason Tamara is not interested in him is because I made him look bad and blah blah blah. She wants to marry this guy she's dating! This all has nothing to do with me. So he keeps taking her intot he room and closing the door and whispering, but he's not so good at that and he's just talking about meetings and nonsense really. It made me laugh because I know that he's just trying to make me mad. So I called him out on it. I asked him to come into my room and sit down because now I needed to talk to him. I asked him why he keeps taking us intot he room alone and whispering when he has NOTHING important to say. He's totally trying to play games and I see right through it. Anyway, he started yelling at me and saying all these random things and blaming everything on me and telling me that I don't do anything for him. HaHa. Right. I totally do EVERYTHING for him! Whatever, I just smiled at him as he threw a hissy fit telling me that I ruined his chances with someone he truly cares about. I honestly had to hold back the laughter.

Then he's trying to convince me to have lunch with Bernardo while I'm here (for those of you who don't knowm he's just another hollywood business guy that looks like a cross between Jude Law and Matthew McConaughey. Had a meeting with him once and he wont stop asking about me.) Tamara jumps in and sais that he was ALL about me but it was obvious what he really wanted. Oh my goodness!!! My answer was no before but now it's a definite NEVER thank you very much!! And here's Johnny trying to convince me to go out with him. This just shows how ignorant Johnny really is to not just women, but to who I really am. We've been friends for a while, although never close, but he should know me well enough to understand that I would never go out with Bernardo, especially when he knows what Bernardo is all about and he knows I'm very interested in someone else. He even went as far to say that if I can't find a place to stay Wednesday night that I should call Bernardo. He's sitting there laughing and I'm just staring at him wondering if any woman could ever love a man like him. I bet he'll be single forever. It's pretty sad.

When they got back late last night he came into my room and siad that they were leaving to go to Venice early the next morning. He gave me 200€, which was supposed to be for food. He said that I could use the money he gave me for actually doing work for him to buy a hotel if I needed to.

The next morning I was surprised to hear good old Tamara knocking at my door to say good bye and she actually said she feels bad for leaving me. So DOES have a heart!!!! Good for her! After they left I got up and took a shower, drying myself off with some random sheets because the maid took the towels!!! Why on Earth would you take all of the towels?? All I could do was laugh it off. This trip just gets weirder and weirder.

I walked to the train station to make sure everything was set for Thursday, checked my email, and went to the supermarket to buy some food so I could conserve the money Johnny gave me. Lunch and dinner are usually around 40€ a day... so i bought some milk, cereal, and some laundry detergent because I really needed to wash some clothes. After the I paid the lady, she set everything on the other side of the register (where that bag lady usually stands) and turned around to help the guy behind me. Umm, apparently you are supposed to bring your own bags. Good to know. I stood there for a second slightly comfused, then figured what the heck, I'm not that far, and just walked home carrying my goods.

So then it gets interesting. How do I use this washin machine? I threw the clothes in, did a little "eeny meeny miny mo" and squirted the detergent into one of the three anonymous compartments and shut the door. There were three dials, a million buttons, and not enough pictures so I started pressing anything that would make it go. It started moving so I poured myself some cereal and watched. Hm, dryer. Dangit! Start over.... I picked up my bowl to watch the show once again. It started making some noise, but I didn't see any water or soap or movement. I know I must have looked really silly because there I was, cereal in had, no shirt because I got hot and was in the middle of changing when I decided to start the laundry... and I'm just standing there... watching intently. PRESTO WAMMO! Got it! Suds and everything swirling like little synchronized swimmers.

After finishing my cereal and throwing on a shirt of course I thought I'd walk down to the office for the company who rented out to us and beg them to let me stay one more night. Couldn't hurt right? After kinda getting lost, I fonally found in about a mile and a half away from the apartment. Even if I did stay one more night, what a pain it would be to lug all of my bags over there at 6am and then walk all the way back to the train station. Surprisingly enough, she said it was no problem at all for me to stay one more night and that I can just leave the keys in the room after I leave. Wonderful!

On my walk back, I stopped in Claire's of all places!!! I'm on the French Riviera and I'm shoppin at Claire's, a place I don't even go to when I'm in California! Shopping always makes me feel better, but spending money doesn't and everything out here is very expensive. So I figured I could use some jewelry to spice up my life =) I ended up buying two pairs of earings, two bracelettes, and a pair of boots. HAHA. K wait... now I know you're thinking "boots? Claire's?" I know I know. They're really cute coyboy boots that I can wear for dancing or with jeans! And they were cheap!! I they were 25€ compared to the 255€ boots I found at another store and no one (besides you and everyone else reading this) will never know =) And if they did, who cares!!! They look good and that's aaaaaalll that matters.

So now I'm here at the cafe starving. I think yogurt sounds good for now and McDonald's for dinner. What? It's much cheaper than the other random food they have here! And a quarter of the price. I'm thinking after my nap I am going to put on my iPod and do some pleiometrics in the living room along with some push ups, sit ups, squats, and anything else I can think of. I have been wanting some new running shoes. Maybe later I'll go down to footlocker and see if they have anything worth spending too much money on just so I can go running for two days. I'll let you know how it goes ;-)

Au revoir for now....
