sorry my entries are so long and take up half your friends page
this is a pretty shallow entry, beware.
all this tax-free shopping has led me to clean out my closet and purchase new clothes. which would be a good thing, but i've come to the sad realization that i've grown a size, maybe more. and not in height--i'm still 5'4". dear friends, tell me, why are my boobs the same size as they were when i was twelve, but my ass is literally a canadian province? complemented by my elephant thighs? i'd like to think that it's because i'm an "athlete" and i have "muscle" but maybe i just have to lay off the krispy kremes. seriously, all my nice pants? gone. some jeans left. bought some more, but the old ones are kind of tight.
and my mom keeps yelling at me about buying clothes. honestly, i've only bought about a week's worth of new clothes, and that's really nothing in the grand scheme of things, so expect to see me in the exact same jeans and t-shirts that you saw me in last year. good thing all my clothes i've bought since last year are pretty neutral, so it's like i wear the same 3 colors every week. my purchases for this year pretty much follow suit. and with senioritis kicking in, i've started to buy clothes more with regard to comfort, including 2 pairs of sweatpants. yes, i'm wearing sweatpants to school, they don't allow pajama pants. and someone borrowed my jacket and never returned it, so i need to take the train down to urban outfitters and get me that track jacket i always wanted to go with my gazelles. i'm going to look like i stepped out of the 80's.
today i did more shopping, but for ashique. i was so excited, i never get to spend time with ashique. i'm always holed up in my house sleeping, or doing school crap, or playing soccer. he ended up with some nice shirts and jeans. i love shopping for guys. makes my day. when we got back to my house, he did a crazy-ass 180 and nearly gave me a heart attack, but it was the coolest thing ever. and i ended up with pair of sexaay express pants to go with my new heels that i will only get to wear to church and... debate. i'm such a loser. i wish i had more occasions to dress up.
tomorrow i'm doing meals on wheels with ashique for some cas hours. ugh, cas. i've was doing meals on wheels with michael, but he's in new york this week
speaking of which, i really miss michael. i can't tell you the exact date that we got together or anything, it's been a little more than a year, i guess. even now i don't like saying, "my boyfriend". not that michael doesn't earn that status, but he's something better than that, and "boyfriend" makes me think of middle-school 1-week relationships. there's so much i could elaborate on about this but i think he would kick my ass, and, being the cooler one in the pair, he wins.
oh, and i got to shop for him, which was fabulous. lots of new shirts, pair of jeans, even a pair of hot low-rise bootcut jeans from the gap. teehee. shopping is so fun. even better, he just bought a pair of pumas in new york, which are adorable. good for you michael, you're going metro!
one last thing, i promise--
my girl friends are so sexy. seriously. for a while there was this girl whom i thought was the shit, but after coming back and spending some time more closely observing my friends, i've realized that they are pretty hot. and not just in looks, but their personality and their actions. some really sexy people i run into lately include ai, amanda, geena, heather, and marissa. watch out!
