PurpleHello98

Well, visiting Blue was super fun! Friday we went to this thrifting area in the city---I forget the name but it was super cool! We went to this little boutique with this very strange woman. I asked her if she was related to a certain friend of my mum, since the two of them really looked quite alike. She said no, but then launched into a story about how apparently someone around town had been impersonating her a while back and taking dumps in at least one parking lot (?), and customers would come into her store and ask if it was her. She was also apparently in a rock band and has had nine different phones hacked into. She also has a celebrity crush on someone with my same last name, which I know because when she saw my name on my credit card she asked "do you know (firstname lastname)? She's my girlfriend". I said "no", but before I could say "good for you" or anything, she said "she's not actually my girlfriend, I just have a massive crush on her, actually I have a boyfriend, but this woman's voice lulls me to sleep every night". Which is valid, I suppose, but a bit out of nowhere. But she did give me a $98 dress which was half off for only $30 because I loved it and it was the last one! I hope she's well and I wish her the best!

Then we went to this thrift shop where I found a whole bunch of cute dresses. I was slinging them over my arm left and right to try on, and then took so long in the changing room (because I had ten dresses, a skirt and a pair of shorts I thought was a skirt) that we accidentally stayed a good twenty minutes past closing and I had to skip the last one, although I don't think it would have fit me anyways. But I came back with three more cute dresses---and all four of those dresses are comfy and have pockets as well!! So I basically struck the lottery.

Then we went to this fancy pizza place for an expensive West Coast dinner, because that was one of the items on our checklist, seeing as I'd never been to the West Coast before, save for a layover in San Fran on the way to Korea. It was really quite nice! And it started raining during our dinner. It was so cozy, since the whole outdoor dining area was lit by fairy lights! So it was absolutely splendid, in summation. We then went back to his dorm and watched Clueless, which is a really good movie! I love the fashion---which I think makes sense for me!

Blue rode with me in the car to the airport on Saturday and bid me farewell, and we finally came up with a secret handshake as well after being best friends for I don't know how long! It was a lovely visit and I was sad to leave. I'll definitely be going back!

The weekend was rather uneventful. I went over to a friend's dorm yesterday to do homework together (and to be the subject of a mental examination as he's a nursing student) and it eventually turned into a pizza party/game night! I played Yahtzee for the first time ever and came in dead last of him, me and our two other friends, but we played Monopoly Empire as well and I won! It was the first time I'd played that kind of Monopoly, and I liked it---especially the dated tech companies like Yahoo and Skype! And it was the first time I'd played Monopoly in probably ten years. It's really a fun game!

Today has been busy but not too notable. I stayed and chatted with some people from my k-pop club after our meeting tonight and we explored the basement of the building we meet in! We went further than I'd ever gone before and discovered some random storage rooms and such---it was actually really cool! And there was some grafitti as well. But eventually we heard some strange noises we didn't make... yeah, we got the heck out of dodge. (That's such a weird phrase. Who came up with that?)

So it's been a pretty nice day, although I really need to not stay up so late! Tomorrow, guys. Tomorrow I'll get in bed earlier. Anyway, good night for now!

As quickly as the rain came, it left. It only lasted one day, and though it's still below thirty (until Friday, when it's supposed to be back to 32), it's now sunny once again. *sigh*

Alas, the back to school push is back. I need to film my two video reviews for English (my mum is also insisting that I do a third), and yesterday, my parents and I went to Kohl's to find me some new school pants. I ended up with a few pairs of jeans, and the realization that for some reason Kohl's no longer has mens' skinny jeans. There's "classic", "straight", "thin", and I think one other, but skinny jeans are apparently only for women. Speaking of womens' jeans, I saw these "super-fit" or whatever they're called jeans, which are supposed to fit like leggings. I tried on a pair, and the legs fit perfectly but the waistband was just a bit too big. I tried the next smaller size that I could find, and both the legs and the waistband were too tiny. Oh well.

Also, I've been wanting '80s hair recently, so today, I tried teasing it. It was only after this that I found out that it's apparently bad for your hair. It was a bit too tangly for me as well, but at least it looked kind of '80s-esque. :(

Also, I've been watching a lot of "The Family" sketches from the Carol Burnett Show lately, which were the basis for the show Mama's Family, if you don't know. I've also been watching sketches by those standup comedians that post sketches to YouTube, like John Crist. They're not all great, but there are some there that I think are somewhat funny.

But back to back to school. Before school starts, I have to visit my grandmother's again (my mother's picking up some things), get new school supplies, and I have a dentist appointment the day before school. Ugh. Oh well.

But yeah, anyways, that's all that I have to talk about for now, so I'll talk to you all later. Bye!
