November 25, 2000 Last day of work….and my last day in IL. I got to work at around 12:00. Eleni was there in the morning, and we had fun at work like always. By the time she left, it was around 4:00. Work wasn't so bad today…more people new me, and I got to know the other employees. I had this aura about me because I had been talked about so much while I was gone.. People came up to me and told me how awesome I was…what can I say. All the good things people said about me is true! :) We had this GAP contest of trying to get customers to sign up for the new GAP credit cards. Employees that had been working there months hadn't had any luck getting the customers to sign up for credit cards. I was there for about four hours, and I already had five people with their new GAP cards. All the other employees where asking me how I did it…experience I guess. Even the managers were bragging for me…so I didn't have to do it. Not that I would have. I loved ever minute of it. I was supposed to leave work at 10:00, but Alison let me go at 9:00p.m. I called Katie, and since it was my last night there, we planned to go out. When I got off work, I told her to meet me at Fridays. We got a table, and we talked our heads off. There used to be a time when things were a little awkward between us when we hadn't seen each other in a long time. But, we've moved way past that. There is no longer a question of whether or not we are going to stay friends. We know that the tie between us is too strong for a measly few months of not seeing each other to hurt us. I have really gotten used to telling Katie everything…well, almost everything. She's really innocent to begin with, so I don't want to give her too much of a culture shock telling her about all my gay lifestyle. But, for the most part, she knows it all. We had a really great time at dinner. I never really realize how much I miss her until we are sitting at dinner or something telling all of stories. We talk more on the phone these days while we are both at school. In high school, when I was a freshman, she was my best friend. We always hung out, and we were the closest amongst our little group. When she graduated, I had three more years of high school, and she unfortunately moved down my list. But now, I've balanced my friends, and she is amongst the three people that I know will be there for the rest of my life. Katie is the only one of the three that I never fight with. I love that about us. We've had our fair share of battles, but that was back in the day. After dinner, we went to my house and we watched a movie. It was so relaxing. We laid there after the movie was done and we sat there in the most peaceful silence. I didn't want her to go, but I had to get up early in the morning to go back to Iowa. So, we said our goodbyes, and gave each other a kiss. I love that girl…
