Boy do I feel Crummy.

Boy do I feel crummy.

1) I have two essay's due on the days we come back Monday and Tuesday. I'm not thrilled about either. English I can either write about Wacko-Jacko (That's right, the infamous Michael Jackson) or observe guys and girls in groups at the mall...it's only slightly stalkerish. Sociology I have to break a cultural norm and then write about it. I'm honestly not thrilled to do either cause I have no ideas for either and this is my holiday too, the teachers shouldn't be the only ones to get off.
So today I went to New Park Mall to attempt to accomplish both. I was going to try to do something weird with my hair; that is until I came to the conclusion that I have too much hair to do anything coolweird with it. So I gave up on doing that. and I was going to wait until 3:30 ish to go to the food court and creepily stare at people. Within that time I went throughout the mall, I had a $30 gift certificate. I found nothing good to buy, kinda ticked me off BUT ALAS! I think I see hope! A shiny glimmer in the form of those toy dispenser thingies. I found one with these stickers of these cute animals. I hadn't seen those stickers since the last time Alex and I went to Bayfair on a Wednesday afternoon. I was fairly stoked and inserted my .50 hopeing I wouldn't get the one I already have. Well I guess I wished too hard. I got nothing. I turned and turned with bated breath only to find NOTHING CAME OUT. that machine ate my money, I guess that one probably hadn't been refilled since I got the one at Bayfair either. Well they say a sucker is born every minute....58.....59....me.
It was still kinda early, so I went to Old Navy and see if they had anything on sale...strike that..anything good on sale. Which they didn't but I remember they had awesomely big bouncy balls for only a quarter...and me, being the glutton for punishment (and food) that I am, I used my last quarter to put into a machine (of the types that had unmercifully eaten my previous two) and possibly get one nasty looking piece of rubber. I guess the toy vending machine gods had served me their wrath and found that I was worthy of one good thing. so I got a fairly cool looking bouncy ball.
I didn't find anything, nothing cool was on sale and I was still bitter about having to go all the way to Newark. I was bored of walking around and it was about 3:40pm then so decided to mosey back to the food court to see. Yeah, I wasn't feeling real stalkerish then and actually quite lonely and upset that my plans didn't work (I didn't get my hair in a mohawk and I didn't buy anything with my gift certificate) so since I was up there, I figured it'd look weird if I was just sitting there by myself staring at people and then taking notes. So I walked around and see if anything "tickled" my fancy. None did, so I went with the old faithful "Starbucks" Checked out the holiday specials and settled on the Peppermint Mocha frapp. only to find that all that was left in my wallet were two receipts. "Ah, oh well I'll just have to break my emergency $20" ...yeah. it doesn't really work if you don't have it. I had left all my money in my other pants and was only left with plastic. I figured it'd be pretty pathetic to charge $2.90 and I didn't really want that tall peppermint mocha crapp (I know it's a typo, but I left it anyways...funny how close those two words are)

so the fact that I had no cash, the stupid machine ate my .50, I didn't find anything good, and when I did the pants were too long, my plans were spoiled and I was all alone was putting me pretty far down on the "HI I'M HAPPY!!!!!" scale. : so I sat for five minutes, let all that anger and bitterness swell inside of me and stormed off in a true juvenile fashion. Only to get back to my car, begin to drive off and then sit in traffic for a long time.

Things that sucked today at the mall:

  • Not being able to stick my hair in a mohawk
  • Having to do these two stupid essay's to begin with
  • Having to stress about these two stupid essays
  • The fact that the machine ate my .50 cents
  • There weren't any good stuff at the mall today
  • I had no cash to buy ...I had no cash
  • Driving back home in traffic with crazy people...in stupid mazda 3's

One good thing..hanging in the middle of the mall (where the elevators are) is this HUGE sign maybe 7 or 8 feet by 6 feet that has a picture of this women kinda cartoonish in black and white I forgot what she was doing, but I was like...hm "i wonder what that's for" and then I looked in the lower right corner to see in big bold letters "Kotex fits. Period." CHA! I had a mini laugh over that one...

UGH I cannot wait for thursday and FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hurry. please.
