Listening to: Anna Mhoireach "Swallow's Tail" (I love Celtic-inspired stuff. This song makes me wanna step dance.)In elementary school, we used to sing "I'm dreaming of a green [or brown] Christmas," but this year, the song may be true! Snow in Texas? Yep, and it isn't that sleet crap we usually get. I'd go play outside, but it's a bit heavy (by Texas standards). You can't even see the school across the street from my house!
My Grapevine Mills shopping trip w/ Elizabeth, Laura, and Jenna on Monday was fun. I felt like I was on some makeover show..."Cute, Stylish Straight Eye for the Cheap, Tomboyish Straight Girl!"...lol. Sometimes it was overwhelming since my mom has brainwashed me to not wear things that are too tight, low, or short. Not that I really want to wear clothes like that too much. However, I did want clothes that fit better than the pants I often steal from Eric (even though I love baggy pants). I'm glad the 3 of them had different styles, and my weird, tomboyish J-rock meets BMXer tastes was something of its own. I'd get really excited when we went into Fast Forward, PacSun, and Hot Topic.
Anyway, the trip was a success. I tried some new looks, found out that turquoise is my color (didn't get anything 'cuz they were too small), managed to buy cosplay materials that I can wear elsewhere, and got the wallet chain I needed. The funnest moment was when Jenna jokingly handed me a PVC jacket, and I actually wound up buying it. ^^ The best though was just being w/ my friends (2 of whom I haven't seen in 4 months).
I also went shopping w/ my mom today, this time at North East Mall. She wanted to introduce me to this skin care/make-up brand. I forgot the name; it starts w/ an "S." I felt bad that she spent $80 on me so I didn't ask for anything, except for the black and white striped tights I saw at Hot Topic. I needed them for my Megatokyo cosplay, and I hadn't been able to find them anywhere else. My mom doesn't like going to Hot Topic b/c she says that the people in there are "weird" and she feels out of place. I guess it is an intimidating place, but the clerks in there are always the nicest around. It was funny 'cuz the ones at Mills were more like goth punks and the ones at North East looked like they came out of Orange County Choppers. Everything was all good until we got back and discovered that my tights were gone. I remember carrying the bag out of the store, and I would've noticed it falling out. Also, my mom said that while she was waiting for me outside of Sam Goody, she thought she heard the bags rustle and the people sitting next to her leave. We got robbed! How annoying! At least the guy didn't steal the expensive stuff, but now I have to go searching again.
