I spent waaaaaaaaay too much money this weekend. I'll be going home in two weeks, so I went down to Hollywood Blvd to buy some tacky tourist souvenirs for the family. What's the point of being an out of town relative if you don't bring anything back? I didn't spend too much, but Hollywood Blvd. gets on all of my nerves at the same time. Freakish homeless people who won't stop screaming, flippin' Japanese tourist who take pictures of EVERYTHING, retarded caucasian/American/Midwestern tourists who get down on the side walk so their buddy can take a picture of them next to some celebrity's star, and let's not forget the out of work actors dressed up in costume in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater to charge people for taking pictures. Too much crap in too little of a space.
Then I bought a non-Hollywood gift for my baby nephew (who will be born tomorrow; yippie!). I can't buy a gift for one nephew without buying gifts for my other nephews, so I spent even more money. I also had to buy clothes for myself since I mostly wear business clothes and tend to wear the same T-shirt every weekend. I spent even more money buying casual shirts, but they were from the clearance rack, so $4 for a shirt isn't too bad. However, I still need to buy a birthday gift for my younger sister (as I will be home on her birthday) and my dad's Christmas gift since I already bought one for mom. I'll have to do the rest of my Christmas shopping when I get home, so I'll spend even more money.
I hope my year end bonus covers all of this. I gotta pay to renew my car's registration next month along with 6 months of car insurance.
*pulls out pockets; flies come out*
Why can't I just be scary skinny so I can fuck an old rich guy who'll put me in his will and die? Oh, right, I have dignity, that's why. *sigh*
