Is it really possible to do an unselfish thing? Because right now, I'm floating on kind of... an air of euphoria, a cloud even, because I feel so good about doing something for someone that I didn't gain anything from. That's not to say that usually I gain from my actions: quite the opposite. I don't really care about getting anything back. But this feeling is great that it makes me feel like I'm the winner in this situation. Because I'm the one that is smiling. To explain: My mobile was on the charger and so after a long-ish phone call to Nicole, I decided to check it. Sure enough, there was a message. Half expecting it to be Tian, I was surprised to find a message from Simon reading "Thanx". Thanks for what?! I thought, but it suddenly occurred to me that I had been fooled! It was not private at all! They TRICKED ME!! Tian had shown Simon the message and it was all an elaborate scheme! ...before realising, oh, YOU IDIOT, it's only 7:40pm, he wouldn't be home yet, he probably just opened his bag. The relief of this realisation probably only added to the euphoric feeling. You see, while Van and I were out to lunch [she would let me go see Santa but that's a story for another time... she was in an unusually good mood today, there were Christmas carols and aprons! Hoorah!] I got a message from Tian [Simon's girlfriend... used to work with us, quit ages ago, therefore haven't seen her since... Oh I guess I saw her about a month ago when she was waiting for Simon after work but that doesn't count]. It was asking for a sentence to describe Simon, it's for his 21st which is coming up. I was first of all like, how the hell did she get this number [it could have been a few ways but still, wtf] and also, why ask me? Anyway. I went to work [after VAN DITCHED ME hahahahahaha no Santa for Eileen] and after toasting my pop tarts, asked Tess and Marcia for help. Oddly enough, neither of them got messages from Tian. What the helllll. But anyway. SO. I was expecting it to be a reply from her, after I sent her the sentence. But then when it was Simon thanking me, I of course immediately assumed that she had shown it to him. But then I had remembered... The pop tarts I mentioned earlier? Well, lets just say they are few and far between in Australia; it's not exactly something you come across every day. So when I was at the David Jones foodcourt I was just like omgzzzzzzzzzzz I have wanted these FOREVER and Van almost wouldn't let me buy them [hence why I waited till she left! Ahaaaa]. So when I rushed to work to toast them, I offered them to everyone. I had one for myself and left one for Tess which she shared with Marcia. When I offered one to Simon, he accepted wholeheartedly. Later on, he came and sat with me in the back and we were talking about them, when he asked how much they were. When I told him, I could tell that he was shocked. At this point I might mention that Tian and Simon live out of home, therefore money is a BIG thing to them. For me, it isn't, because I still live at home [gag, but at least I don't have money problems right now] so I don't have much problem with buying things like Pop Tarts for ridiculous prices. Plus, my income goes solely to me. After that, though, he refused to take the pop tarts because he felt bad that I'd paid that much and didn't want to take them away from me. But when he was gone I put two in his bag, one for him and one for Tian. So that's what he found on the way home. I mean, it wasn't anything, but I knew he wanted it, and at least this way he doesn't have to feel bad. Because there was no way I was not letting him have my pop tarts. As if, Simon's one of my favourite people everrrrrr. I obviously didn't go to Click Click. Kind of a long story. Oh, and in the end, I wrote back to Tian: "Hahaha. Um... Simon is nerdy and funny and good at dusting the high shelf. But has slightly crap hand eye coordination." Well, it's true.
