A woman stormed into my job last friday walked straight up to me and (almost) shouted, "Is this ALL the gelato you have?" And I cheerfully replied, "Yes ma'am it is. We just got a shipment in today and we should have a full case tomorrow." Scowling she said, "You HAVE to make some NORMAL flavors!" and then she proceeded to storm back out of my store. [Side note: Gelato is *like* ice cream, same ingredients but it's made with whole milk not heavy whipping cream.] Anyways, it got me to really think about what "normal" is. It's all relative. Her normal gelato is chocolate, vanilla or strawberry... but to an Italian (where gelato comes from) normal is sweet corn, tomato and basil, and carrot. How does this come into my life at all you ask? Basically in every way the more I thought it. My personal "religion" is normal to me, but it's satanic worshipping to others. The way I think is normal to me, but is competely obscure to others. I finally figured out that everything is relative to someone/thing folks. Even if I walked a mile in your shoes I wouldn't come out the same way, or with the same lessons in life. I wouldn't look at things the same you do, because it's all relative to me. I hope I made my point with this, I'm not really good at espressing my thoughts anymore in print.
In other news, my store is officially closing. We'll be closed in about 10 days time. I am truly saddened at this fact. I have came to like and even admire some of my co-workers and will truly miss working along side them. But in the same breath, my best friend... who got me the job there I am having troubles with. I spent about 5 days with her last week (because of our work schedules) and was about ready to beat her nose into the back of her head. I feel as if she has been treating me like an enemy instead of her closest friend. I've tried explaining my feelings to her. She brushes them off. Especially those about *him*. She doesn't understand how I can be lonely... she says.."But your not alone!" No I'm not alone I have friends, but I'm craving for companionship. [I guess this all goes back to relativity huh?] Anyways, I thought I'd update before I work my butt off this weekend and have no time to update! :D

I've never had gelato, sounds interesting.
and sorry you are closing, will you be going to a new location?
No, the guy who ran it ran four other stores into the ground. There is no other location to go to. I did get recruited for a locally owned patisserie shop and french cafe... I am going to go and talk to the lady sometime this week.
