Oh, man. The hairdresser I've been going to since I was born (and my mom since she was in, like, her 20s, and she's 58) is getting married to his boyfriend on his 70th birthday. That's so sweet! I'm really happy for them. Yay California for gay marriage! If it's overturned in November by stupid homophobes who aren't even affected by gay people getting married miles away from them I am going to be SO pissed off.

Anyways. I'm sucking at updating. Pretty much all I do is work. I had Monday-Wednesday off, and I didn't really do much except Tuesday night, so I don't really have any excuse for then. I worked yesterday and I closed, which sucked. I'm getting much better at my job, though, at least, and most of the people are nice, so that's good.

People are so stupid, though. I was working box office yesterday and this guy came up and was like "Can I have 2 tickets for The Happening?" and I was like "...no, sorry, we aren't playing that movie" and he looked at me funny and was like "Why not?" And I was like "...uh? I'm sorry? I don't actually choose the movies we play?" He was incredibly disgruntled over that. It was bizarre. Oh and then I had this conversation with someone who called:

Person: Can I get tickets for Wall-E for tomorrow?
Me: ...no, sorry, we're not playing that movie here.
Person: Well, where is it playing?
Me: ...I'm not sure. (I don't actually have the schedule of every other theater memorized.)
Person: What about the theater in Fashion Island?
Me: ...this is the theater in Fashion Island.
Person: Big Newport?
Me: No, this is Island 7. Big Newport is across the street.
Person: When are they playing it?
Me: I'm not sure. (I don't have their schedule/the schedule for tomorrow.)
Person: Well, can you connect me to them?
Me: No, I don't know how to do that. (Also, I'm not an operator, and I'm pretty sure I don't have that function on this phone.)
Person: [very disgruntled] Well, what's their number?
Me: I'm not sure. (Seriously, you can find our number, but you can't find theirs? Also, have you ever heard of something called THE INTERNET? Or even, you know, the newspaper? Which has the times every morning for every movie in the area?)
Person: Fine. [hangs up]

God. Also, finally, this one guy came and asked me to tell him every movie that was playing, when they were starting, and when the last movie let out. Even though ALL that information (except for when the last movie lets out) is up on the marquee, right above his head. But there was no one around and he looked kind of homeless so I told him. And then he came in and asked the manager (without buying a ticket) if he could wash his hands and the manager said yes and he went up to the bathroom and I never saw him leave. So I think he might have been a homeless man who snuck into a movie possibly. Or maybe he did just go wash his hands and I missed him leave. But whatever. It was bizarre either way.

Work today from 1-9:30, tomorrow 3-11:30 (UGH HATE CLOSING), Sunday 10-6 (favorite shift! win!), and Monday 3-11. sigh. I think I'm going to be busy every weekend for the rest of the summer, which sucks. I feel like I never see my friends anymore. And when I do, it's just to play tennis, which is nice, but I'd like to do something where I don't feel like I'm just being invited out so there are enough people to play. I haven't even seen Soan or Andrew, even though the UCs are all out now, and I don't even know if Annie's back because I haven't talked to her in forever. =/ Getting paid is nice (well... it will be once I get paid) and the job isn't too bad for what it is and the people there are nice, but I miss my friends.

...apparently someone hacked into my e-mail or figured out my password or something and sent an e-mail to everyone in my address book about... selling something. Like, the e-mail was in bad English and it was about selling electronic stuff for cheap from China. I don't know. But, as I said, it sent it to EVERYONE IN MY ADDRESS BOOK. ugh. I'm just... really embarrassed. Like, my parents and friends I talk to regularly and even people in there like Mrs. Bentley I'm sure will understand and it's no big deal. But I have people in there like Tiffany who I was really good friends with for several years and then we just stopped talking and now whenever we see each other we pretty much pretend we don't know each other and... awkward. And there are other people in there who, like, I worked with on projects in high school or like... Michele Wong who sent me the minutes from BEC meetings when I was running the band website, and I haven't talked to them in like a year or so, and it's just so awkward and embarrassing. I sent an e-mail to everyone explaining what happened. I hope some of them don't have my name in their address book so they have no idea who sent it. It's less that it got sent that is embarrassing and more that I have some of these people in my address book. ugh. I don't know, just whenever I send an e-mail Hotmail automatically adds them to my address book unless I uncheck the person's e-mail or whatever, and sometimes I forget or am too lazy or I figure it won't matter. slkfj goddamnit I did not want to have to deal with this!

I really should just close that e-mail, and I would since I've had it since 7th grade and I've wanted to for awhile and I already have a g-mail account I use more and a school account. But that's where my parents and close friends all know where to reach me, and I don't like e-mailing people (I luckily didn't have TOO many people in my address book) so I've never felt like changing it and e-mail everyone a new one. blah. I'm really upset about this.
