weekend update and some bitchin'
Well, this weekend turned out to be eh.
Friday - Not quite what I had hoped it to be. I probably shouldn't be surprised though because every time I try to plan anything it goes straight to hell. This is why I will not have a big wedding. God knows the groom would probably die the day of the wedding or some shit like that, or the wedding dress would spontaneously combust. Eloping is the way to go I think. It was nice for a little while though. Maybe I should just stop trying to plan things. Nah. I'm a glutton for punishment.
Saturday - Breakfast/shopping/lunch/more shopping/visiting David/driving and singing RHCP/hanging out/dinner with Deanna (and David too for dinner). Absolutely amazingly fun. I love our Saturdays together. Got my mom's xmas gift. She guessed what it was already. Too bad for her. Got a skull cracking headache right around dinner time. Went home for a bit, went to Brian's to visit with the guys for like an hour, which was nice. Then I couldn't take the pain in my head and had to go home to sleep. The night ended kinda sucky obviously.
Sunday - Woke up decently early and went to Kohl's with my mom. I absolutely left a trail of destruction behind me as I went through the racks. I found a lot of good stuff at good prices that I probably don't need but bought anyhow. I am dangerous in that store. OH! And I am now the proud owner of a Kohl's credit card. I don't think they realized who they were dealing with really. Came home after and ate a very yummy sandwich. Took a shower and got all dolled up. Went out to dinner with my parents for my birthday. We went to Wildfire. I really like that place. Very dim lighting and good food. Has romantic potential under different circumstances. The food was really good. I has sea scallops, which totally rocked. A little pricey - will need a big spender for future visits. The waitress had a weird mouth, and that kinda freaked me out a bit. I can't really explain why it was weird--it was like a little too wide and like it didn't move at the corners when she talked or something. I dunno. Something wasn't right with it though. Came home from dinner, got gas in the car, ran to Walmart to get thread, came home and did laundry and cleaned my room. Slightly productive - go me.
RANT TIME!
A list of things that piss me off in no particular order:
1) Ponchos. A new (revived) fashion trend. Stupid as fuck if you ask me, as they were the first time. Skirts are meant to be worn around your waist, not your fucking neck, you morons. Unless you are a little hispanic man on a burro wearing a sombrero and picking my coffee beans, you should not be wearing a poncho.
2) Short denim skirts with leg warmers and flip-flop sandals. A fashion phenomenon apparently sweeping the area. What the fuck are these girls thinking!?! Deanna and I spotted two of these apparenly moronic individuals Saturday at Woodfield. Girls, it's cold out. Try pants and shoes. Give up on the little skirts and flip-flops til next Summer. And maybe try eating something between now and then. As much as I love 80's flashbacks, I really do not understand the point of leg warmers when there is such a thing as PANTS!
3) Sheerling boots. These are for the snow. It's not snowing now, don't wear them now. If you like the whole winter lodge look, go to Colorado, you just look fucking ridiculous when it's 50 degrees in Chicago and you're wearing snow boots.
4) Winter scarves as an accessory. These people are on the opposite end of the fashion spectrum as the flip-flop girls. It's not that cold outside, and certainly not inside. Your neck has got to be amazingly itchy. Do us both a favor and wait until it cold OUTSIDE.
5) People who don't return phone calls. This applies both personally and professionally. Professionally: if you call me all nuts on the phone needing information and I have to call you back and leave you a message that I have your info and tell you to call me back for it, you better fucking call me back for it. I didn't just spend time trying to get your information for my own health. Honestly, I have plenty to do without you adding shit on there for me. Personally: if you bother to pay for a cell phone you should perhaps answer it when it rings. Should you be unavailable momentarily (and this happens sometimes, understandably) and someone should leave you a voice mail, it would be nice if you return it. That's how they work. Also, it helps if you turn the phone on and maybe charge it sometimes so that it actually functions.
6) Stupid people with kids. Don't look surprised for even one fucking second if you let your unsteady one year old kid run around on a tile floor in tights and slips and starts screaming in a restaurant. You know what, tile and nylon are not a good combination especially when you've got someone that's just learning to walk. Is it really that shocking, because I would think it's really kind of expected in those circumstances. Fucking morons - probably shouldn't have spawned in the first place.
7) People who don't hold doors. It really doesn't take that much effort nor that much time. I think the world would just be a slightly better place if everyone were a little bit more courteous. It's not like I'm asking for a guy to open the door for a girl or anyone to hold the door for the elderly, I know that's expecting waaaaaay to much. Maybe we could just start by holding the door though. We'll get back to reviving chivalry later. Someone better get those electric paddles to get Prince Charming back up and running though.
8) Fur. It's an absolutely obscene way of showing off your money. Buy another ring or something that doesn't cause the death of a poor animal. Deanna, we should have ketchuped that girl with the rabbit coat at Maxfield's. Poor bunnies.
Enough for one night. I think I'm gonna go take a candle-lit shower.
