it's one of those mixed messages days.
Er, remember how I ordered shoes for my birthday?
Well, someone apparently went colorblind (otherwise if they had run out, why didn't they just notify me of that fact?) the day the order came through, because instead of silver I received pink shoes. Hot pink. Great for my mom, but notsomuch for the way I am, and I've got bigger feet. Anywho, I returned them in-store yesterday and bought a Fossil handbag in substitute, since there was no way I'd be able to receive the shoes I'd purchased. I've never owned such a fancy purse before and don't see the big deal with the Coach-like designer trend, but. After the multiple discounts and credit, I snagged it for $26; it was the last one and I'd been oogling it the week before. Maybe it was meant to be. :)
Dudes, I was able to get ahold of my uncle who lives in LA (I know; I can barely believe it myself!). He said he could pick me up too, or he'd make Chris do it if he couldn't, which makes me feel quite secure in that three people now have it in mind. And believe it or not, my yia-yia plans to move to Cali in the summer to stay at his place. I'm not lying when I say that this all stinks of the freaky.
As for Ragnar, his coming in was sort of a nightmare that I never want to experience again.
During one part of the first night I gave him entirely the wrong idea about what I wanted to do with him, and let's just say I learned a good lesson. The next couple of days went smoothly, and I was glad that we were communicating on the same level. We ended up seeing The Bank Job; I got him his very first Steak 'n Shake, and he gave me random Disney stuff. My parents' sole comment on the matter went something like, "He would without a doubt marry you." I felt rather nauseous after I heard that.
Then I cried the evening he left.
I've got a month and a couple weeks until Anaheim, and there's so much on my mind that my brain literally hurts.
Snagged from thirdsouthobbi:
1. What is/are your sibling(s) middle name(s)?
Mae, after my mom's middle name.
2. Do you hate parenthesis?
No (Quite the opposite!).
3. What happened to you in 1993?
I got into a car accident.
4. Does your first memory involve your dad?
In part; it involved me running into the corner of a closet door (accident-prone childhood, anyone?). I ran over to him afterwards with a split lip.
5. What is the one thing you miss most about your childhood?
Thinking that my family was the most amazing thing in the world.
6. Are you jealous of anyone?
Only people who are happily married.
7. What is the weirdest thing about your parents?
My father looks and dresses like Gene Simmons. Not on purpose, but he keeps doing it even though people ask him for autographs.
8. Rock, paper, or scissors?
Rock.
9. Would you rather have a cook, housekeeper, or chauffeur?
A cook. The one reasonable trait about my bossy little sister is that she knows how to fill you up.
10. Do you display gifts even if they aren’t your style?
No. LoL I'm picky about what I display considering how much crap there is in my house.
11. Does it bother you when people don’t keep the gifts you give them?
Nope. I want them to be happy with whatever they decide to keep or get in exchange.
12. Would you rather be in a long line in the store or in a drive-through?
Drive-through, because at least you can sit down and wait.
13. Are you talented?
Depends on the subject.
14. What do your friends say is your most annoying quality?
That I don't talk enough; they always ask me why I'm not saying anything!
15. Do you still close the bathroom door even if you’re alone in the house?
Sometimes.
16. Does your family have a different name for you than everyone else?
My dad calls me "fish". I've explained this before, but its roots stem from bad Brokeback Mountain captions.
17. Make 3 personal wishes? (No Ms America “Save The World Answers” - all about you)
I want all my tuition loans paid off. I want to find the right career for me. I want to be happily married when the time is right.
18. Do you know how to read a map?
Of course.
19. Do you know how to fold a map?
Yeah; it's not the same thing as being too lazy to fold it correctly. ;)
20. Do you know how to make a map?
I love maps.
21. What does your car say about you?
It's not my car, really. Though a Lexus does make you look good.
22. What would you put on a T-Shirt that you designed?
If I told you, who says you wouldn't steal it?
23. How many different styling products do you use on your hair?
Psht. I'm all natural, baby.
24. If you were a Super Hero - Who would you be and what would you be wearing?
The Magical Debt Reducer. I'd be dressed like a lawyer and I'd go destroy all your debt for you. And restore your credit score. God, I wish that was true. <-- That's the most awesome Super Hero I've never heard of!
25. Do you know the song Little Bunny Foo Foo?
...hopping through the forest...
26. Have you ever gone gunneling?
I'm a fish. Why would I go fishing?
27. Do you have any potatoes?
Yep, a 10lb bag of reds, yum.
28. If you owned a toad, what would you name it?
Frog. Duh.
29. Where’d you get that bruise?
I already told you that my brain hurts!
30. What would you name a new continent that emerged from the sea?
Oh My God, It's a Land Without Politicians (Let's Move Here)!
