on malls and ohio and shoes
ohio is so strange. yesterday, there was a blizzard of january proportions, and when i woke up (merely 20 minutes ago, due to the time change and my horrid insomnia), the snow was nearly gone. not that i'm complaining about the lack of snow, you guys know i'd never complain about that...but come on ohio. fucking pick one.
yesterday, i found out that the store "hollister" actually exists, contrary to my theory that the only people who were able to see it were the rejects who shopped there. it was disgusting, i'm telling you. i don't know if you guys have ever seen one, or even if they look the same in other malls (i'm putting my money on yes), but omg. you should have seen this shit. it was so disgusting. on the outside, it was done up like an exotic garden-porch, complete with crappy ficus and all. the "porch" even had a "roof", with faux spanish ceramic tiles and a badly done grout job. there were windows in the side of the store, and you could barely see in, because it was so dimly lit. it was probably for the best. why do i say it was for the best? because i saw at least 10 of the same boys and girls come out while i was standing out front, all wearing the same badly fitting jeans and pink shirts with crappy logos on them. i love how malls manufacture people. i should also note that on the mall directory, hollister was not listed under "retail-clothing", but "lifestyle apparel", as was hot topic. all i want to know is...how can wearing a brand of clothes (barring dior, versace [we do not mean to bring you up in such a conversation, it is merely for comparison. amen.], etc.) can be a lifestyle. if it's the type of lifestyle that means that i have to buy the same pink shirt with the same crappy logo and the same badly fitting jeans and happily pay $200+ for them, then count me right the fuck out.
although, the trip to the mall wasn't completely in vain. i found those shoes i'd been raving to a couple of you about, after going to (i shit you not) every kaufmann's in a 30 mile radius. every single one of them either didn't have yellow, or didn't have my size, but this one did. in a nine and a half, no less! the downside of buying the shoes was that i was so excited to wear them, that i wore them out of the store, completely forgetting that there was a blizzart going on outside. much slipping and sliding ensued. also, a nasty blister on my pinkie toe. ah well, nothing a good band-aid can't fix.
other than that, not much has been going on. the life of a kate is a typically boring one. is there anything else i have to say...? *thinks* *thinks more* *hurts* *tries again* *hurts* *stops* hmm, i guess not. what's been going on with you? :D
