More fail than the Twitter Whale...
We were at Barnes and Noble today, just looking around. On our way out, I was helping my mom put back a book she was looking at. I was looking for the display the book was supposed to go on, but I didn't see it. My mom says, "Here, right here! Can't you see it?" I reply, "NO, because I'm blind! D:<" Of course, right as I'm saying this, a blind lady walks into the store with a friend. DX I hope she didn't think I was trying to be an asshole. D:
That's nothing compared to the harrowing journey that would await me...at Walmart.
Ok, so a friend of mine (who shall remain nameless, 'cause I ain't down with just putting other people's business out there) asked a huge favor of me. She was like, "Dude, I need a huge favor. I need you to get me a test." Sometimes things just don't click up there, so it took me a minute to figure out..."OH SHIT OH SHIT OSHIT! WTF DUDE?!" She's on birth control, but she was worried and just wanted to make sure.
So I said ok, fine. But we can't buy it at Target, they actually know me there. We went to Walmart. With my mother, because well, she drives and I don't. So we had to try to get away from her, buy it, and regroup, which was like pulling teeth. Mom finally got the hint, and she hung back near the Halloween Costumes with my friend. I went into ninja mode and scuttled over to the pharmacy. I tried to covertly search for them, but I went through every row and didn't see anything! I took a deep breath and tiptoed over to the pharmacy window.
"Excuse me," I whispered. "would you happen to know where the pregnancy tests are?" "It's not for me!" I added, a little louder.
"That's a good thing." The lady at the window said. "You're gonna go over to register 16 and ask there," she told me.
"Thank you."
I nearly fly over to register 16, looking back to make sure my mother doesn't see me.
I wait for the lady at the register to finish talking and look at me. I lean over closely and whisper "Would you happen to have pregnancy tests over here?" "It's not for me!" I add again in a panicked voice, even louder than before.
"Sure, which kind are you looking for?"
"I don't know, she didn't tell me!" I snapped, nearly at the end of my rope. "Just give me the cheapest one." I handed over the money and she puts it in a bag. I tie the bag up and put it in another bag and tie that one too. Then I shove it to the bottom of my purse. After I collected myself, I went to find the both of them and got the hell out of there.
I'm 21, why is buying a pregnancy test such a huge deal? To me, it's not such a huge deal that people actually have sex, because they've been doing it for thousands of years! But me having sex would be a huge deal. I just don't, and there are a million reasons why. I just found out that one of them is because I'm scared shitless at the thought of buying a pregnancy test or even condoms.
Don't know why it scares me either. It's not like those women know me. All they know is some kid (somewhere between 13-16, that's what people usually guess) came in to buy a pregnancy test. "She may or may not be a teen mother in the future. She might be up to no good. She might be promiscuous and irresponsible..." They don't actually know me, but I feel like that's what they'll think. And of course I care what people think of me. Everyone does, don't lie. If nobody cared what other people thought, we'd all be running around naked because nobody would give a fuck.
I still don't know why I had to buy it instead of her. I mean, it was her money and everything. UGH. If you're too ashamed to buy a pregnancy test, you probably shouldn't be fucking anyway. D:< But she's my friend and I love her~ she owes me big time!
