I feel like the dumb blonde. No, not even the blonde. The dumb girl of normal intelligence that doesn't know when to can it. Just... right now, I am the dumb girl. And it sucks. Why can't I just be indifferent for once? I hardly even know what indifferent is, I always have to have a feeling about everything! ...Usually one of notable magnitude -- I can hardly eat a bagel without getting excited!! A BAGEL!!! And I can't just let other people have their own excitement and leave it at that, I have to be in on the fun. Why? Why? Why?
And so then of course when something fudges up I feel like a total ass.

...I just said "fudges"... heh heh.


Anyways. About my DRESS!!! Ever since The Virgin Suicides I've always kind of fantasized about owning my own vintage wedding dress - like Cecilia! So, yesterday I went out to get hot chocolate and muffins and somehow wound up down by Syrkle of Hearts. Well, since I was in the neighbourhood why not have a look and see what they have. Buttons. They have buttons. I like buttons. I buy buttons. Oh, and while I'm paying for my buttons, "I don't suppose you know what size that dress would be?" the one behind me on the wall that I've been eyeballing since December?
"Oh I think it's pretty small."
...Pretty small dress. ...Pretty small me.
"Why don't you try it on?"
...The man had a legitimate question.
...I tried on the perfectly-fitting dress.
...Unfortunately, there was not enough money on my debit card to pay for it, so I had to bribe two Cambodian children to smuggle it out for me.



...Not really. There was not enough money on my card, but fortunately there was a bank around the corner which I ran to and withdrew $70.00 from the account I have strategically not hooked up to my card to prevent myself from making impulsive purchases such as this one. I left the bank, but not before informing the teller that he "ROCKS!" and telling the old man behind me in the line-up all about my antique wedding dress that I'm going to bring to the formal with my Hot Date :-D !! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Formal Dress: $81.50
Fasionable Hairstyle: $35.00
Having to Resort to Russian Mail-Order Date: priceless

There are some things money can't buy. Now will someone please please present themselves as a human sacrifice so that I may have a date to formal.

Pictures coming soon.

Ciao.
