I'm up so early this morning because me and Justin have to go volunteer at KERA (that's on Harry Hines! That's where I work!). Our volunteering starts at ten, and I have to go get Justin at nine. See, the deal is, we were really supposed to do our three hours on Thursday. But that didn't end up happening. Here's what did. We were supposed to go to KERA and do the shit from 5-8 p.m. We left right from school, didn't even go home first. We got on 75-Central, which I guess was our first mistake. I'm not even talking about the traffic that's horrible when you get anywhere near LBJ. I'm talking about the fact that the Mixmaster is a piece of shit, and whoever thought it was a good idea was smoking something. (Hm..) We were supposed to get off at Woodall Rogers, but that exit like, doesn't exist. Swear. We completely missed it.
Justin and I know our way around downtown pretty well, that wasn't our problem. Our problem was that I had the map from the computer, and the Mapsco, and Justin wouldn't listen to me. It's getting close to 5 now, actually more like ten after, and we're late. "Jesus," I say, "we should forget about volunteering and just go cruising." The only problem with my making this statement was how goddamn tempting it was to both of us. We love cruising, and if we just ditched our volunteering job, which we were already late to and weren't even signed up for, we could just go. And we'd have four hours to do it in.
That's what we ended up doing. And at first we were just cruising. We went to the Virgin Megastore at Mockingbird Station and got CDs. I got a bunch of really marvy Blink-182 imports that I didn't have before and Justin got Deftones and Stabbing Westward. Eventually, however, we ended up at Grapevine Mills Mall. I'm not sure exactly how it happened. I guess we were just sort of cruising west on LBJ, and it kinda made sense, because it's the only thing out there. Plus Justin had never been there before. Never. Crazy shit. We kinda got slightly lost. Not lost really, just misguided. We went through the airport and the really nice guy didn't make us pay our two dollars because he could tell we didn't really mean to be there. But he did take our parking ticket, which made me slightly pissed because I wanted to keep it for my yearbook.
A really nice lady at a gas station gave us good directions on how to get to the mall from where we were. It was funny; she was all alone in the gas station and had her music up really loud. It was cute. She and Justin talked about how much working in retail sucks. I mentioned about how the people who shop at Kohl's are like, this small sector of the most retarded people on Earth, and she seemed interested. Justin told her about the Irish woman who was like, "I want my four dollars!" and Justin wanted to smack her in the face and be like, "Shut up, bitch!!" The gas station lady could totally relate to the story.
The mall is amazing. It just blows me away. I've been there before. This was my third time. But you just have to be there to appreciate the full glory. I think they've got some new stores, too. I don't know. All I know is that I was blown away.
Justin and I have this list. Not our movie list--which is extremely retarded anyway, because it's like, we have about thirty five movies that we "need" to see. If we had a whole lifetime together (shiver) we would not accomplish this list. But no. Our important list is this list of things that we have to have. Because at one point one of us decided it would be a good idea for us to get an apartment together, and we have this list of things we gotta get when we get our apartment (Jesus Christ, may my parents NEVER read this!) Here's that list, just for shits and giggles.
Michelle & Xustin's List of Things
01 A monster truck
02 the Chinese kid from Oceans' Eleven
03 A pinch - if you don't know what that is, don't ask me, ask Justin. He can explain it, I can't.
04 A pet baby - we're not going to have a baby, we're going to get one. There's a difference. And we're not even gonna keep it, so shut up.
05 Brad Pitt - we're going to take him away from Jenifer and share him
Anyway, we decided to put Grapevine Mills on that list. Because of all the things we could ever possibly need (besides maybe Brad Pitt), we need this mall the most. Plus, if we had this mall, we would have everything else, because this mall has everything. We decided that we would rent out the stores as rooms, because of course we would live there, and so would a bunch of other cool people such as koRn. Oh, and Blink-182 because they're hot and I want to fuck them all :)
