Today I got an email from PacSun. I don’t usually pay attention to them, but this one mentioned Emu Boots in the subject. I was curious, I love boots. Now I know what I want for Christmas.
I love ribbons. I love boots. And I want these. They’re $75 and I have $80 sitting in my ChaCha. I might just treat myself.
Well, its the holiday season yet again, which means all the normally bearably gooey commercials take steroids and become super gooey, mushy, lovey-dovey, and otherwise annoying. Don’t get me wrong, I like them at first. I love the one with the ring on the string, that one is adorable. But it isn’t even December yet! I am tired of seeing all these commercials. They are obviously targeted to make women want jewelry, and clue men in on what stores to shop at. It almost makes me want some jewelry for Christmas. Which is just absurd. If you saw me you would know why. If I wear make up, or straighten my hair, there is a special occasion. If I put on more than the one ring I wear every day (right now it’s my class ring) then I’m going to a very very special occasion and it probably involved buying a new dress and shoes. I don’t do jewelry. If I’m not wearing it, it is likely to get lost. And if it happens to be a necklace, it had better have one of those thick sturdy chains, because I fidget, a lot, and they tend to get worn out and break. So for me to want something sparkly, and expensive, is just insane.
Call me bitter, whatever. But I’m tired of it already. I’m trying to ignore that Christmas is coming at all, can they not see that?
Today marks three months until my 21st birthday. I might just add a countdown on here. I’m very very excited for this. It’s the big 21!!
Other than that today was quiet and nice. The guys in the house got the WoW expansion pack last night, so that’s all that has been on the computer all day long. I’ve just kind of relaxed all day. It was nice.
Right now I’m watching a show on TruTV about some bartenders in Vegas. It’s pretty interesting. I wish I could make that kind of money, but I also don’t think I could prance around a pool in a bikini all day serving drinks to rich drunk people. For some reason drunk people really really piss me off. I don’t know why, they just push a button with me.
When I was little, probably three or four, we were living in a house that was very close to a train. I think this was when we were living in Rosepine, LA. My grandma (MeeMaw, my Mother’s Mother) came to visit one time while we were living there. She was an awesome woman. Even though we were just “kids” she spoke to us like we were just as intelligent as the rest of them, and always had something new to show us. I remember one time at her house in Kansas we took apart a doorbell. It was fascinating. But this time, she took us to the train track and we laid down a few pennies on the track. We didn’t exactly understand what we were doing, but we did it anyway. The next morning, at an insane time, she woke us up to go to the tracks and see the train. Once the train passed by we looked for our pennies. When we found them it was probably the coolest thing my three or four year old self had ever seen. The pennies were completely smashed and flattened out. If you’ve ever put a penny in one of the stamp things at Six Flags or the Zoo you get a similar effect, but not nearly as cool. There is a train right by this house, and I’ve been dying to do the same thing. Just for me. I doubt Zach would get a kick out of it, he’d probably look at me like I was a completely new kind of special. But something just makes me want to do it again. I miss my MeeMaw very very much.
The Taylor Swift CD came out. The Hinder one is out now too. I am absolutely dying to get them, but I don’t have the money, and won’t be able to justify buying them anytime soon. But they are definitely on my wishlist. I need to revamp my CD collection. After two trips across country I’m a bit burnt out on most of mine.
I actually had things to write about, and then I actually get online and I’m drawing a blank. Go figure. There hasn’t been too much going on in the real world. Lot’s of wishing and hoping and dreaming, but very little real world type stuff. My sleep schedule has been all screwed up lately, so as a result I woke up late today to nice loud artillery fire. Probably the one thing I severely dislike about living in this town. Random artillery practice. The people who have lived here all their lives get used to it, even the people stationed here seem to have forgotten about it. I hope I get to that point.
