I think this is only my second post, even though I've been a subscriber
for a while now. This has a lot to do with U2, even though it's really
twisted. Just bare with me, please.
I used to work at a huge music store where part of my job was to walk
around and annoy the hell out of the customers to try and buy stuff that they
don't want. Whenever I spotted anyone in the U2 isle, I would run (sometimes
literally, lol) to the people checking out the U2 cds. Sometimes I got very
odd looks, but I couldn't help being so excited that someone was buying one of
my favorite groups cds. Alot of times, I felt good helping people choose
between certain cds. I usually ended up telling them to buy them all because I
can't really pick a favorite or best album. Of course, they didn't buy them
all. I usually sent them home with The Joshua Tree or Rattle and Hum. One lady
came up to me and told me she needed to find a song that could be her wedding
song. She really had no idea who U2 was, but I told I knew the perfect song
for her wedding. I handed her Rattle and Hum and told her that the last song
is the one she wanted. She asked if she could listen to it first, but we
aren't allowed to do that. I told her what the lyrics were and she said that
that was perfect and she bought it. ANYWAY, I am totally off what I am getting
at.
At college one day, some kid comes up to me and asks me if I used to work
at the record store. I told him I did, and he said he remembered me bothering
him about U2 cds. So, during our breaks at school we would sit around and talk
about U2 of course. After a few weeks this kid starts to really like me. I had
no feelings for him whatsoever and didn't act like I did. He ended up buying
me three U2 imports. One was Melon and I think the others were Outside
Broadcasts or something. I told him I couldn't and wouldn't take them. I
didn't ask for them, and I would feel terrible if I took them. He wouldn't
take them back, so I got stuck with them.
For the summer he went to Europe. While he was there he sent me a
letter telling me how he felt about me. I emailed him telling him that I now
had a boyfriend. When he responded he seemed very sincere and said that he
hoped that me and my boyfriend were happy. But through some other people, I
found out that he said that he hates me and that he never wants to speak to me
again. He also wants the cds back, which I'll gladly give to him. My problem
is...well I really don't know what my problem is. One of my problems is trying
to find these cds to buy for myself after I give them back. And I realized
that my other problem is that I just rambled on for a LONG time about
completely boring stuff about people none of you guys know. *Sigh*, I am such
a fool. It did have U2 content in it, and that was the main thing, I suppose.
Anyway, I had to let it out, guys. Sorry about the length and boredom. The
next time I post, I promise it won't be anything like this!
Peace and Love,
Beth
