    for the longest while, i thought it was called GOOD friday, but thats the one by easter. shows how religious I am.
    so, i got paid $350 for this week, and its not all of my paycheck, they only gave me about 60%. and i went shopping.
    my parents were all like, we’re going shopping; trying to leave at 8, so if you want to come, you have to be up. but we’re betting you’re not going to get up ( it was like 2AM when they were telling me this)

    i wake up at 7:54 (after waking up at 7:45 and snoozing the alarm)
    then i went upstairs UPSTAIRS (twice) to use the bathroom and wash my face and junk. (MY DAD STILL SNORING IN THE ROOM NEXT TO ME!!) and then was dressed, make-upped and had all my lil receipts and coupons ready to go.
    my mom wasnt even up yet.

    so i left. first i went to dulles and looked to see if they had a shirt i had seen earlier at fair oaks. they didnt. this was the first time i had gone to dulles by myself, so it was weird. i kept thinking that i drove to far, but then i saw the car max. it took me about 10 minutes to get there. i think….? but then i turned into the wrong place and had to make a u-turn, and then had to park, so i was in there at like 9:05 or something. 9:07.
    then i went STRAIGHT to Banana Republic to buy my angora sweater that was one – of – a kind, not at fair oaks, with the ribbon on it. i bought it with my old navy credit card and $10 coupon. (i like RAN there cause i didnt want anyone else to buy it).
    then i went to H&M to return Dan’s shirt that i bought him in NY, and the reason i had to go to dulles it because manassas doesnt have guy’s in it. and they didnt have the shirt that i was going to buy him and told him NOT to buy when i was with him. awwww.
    then she was all like ‘lemme see if it was on sale’ EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE FRIKKIN receipt!! and i was ed off. then i forgot they didnt take check, so when i had deposited my check in the Bank in the mall (looong line) and gotten $50 back, i didnt have enough @ H.M so i had to go back and get $40 more out cause i didnt have $0.71!! then .. er.. that was embarassing. EVERYSTORE AFTER THAT I asked if they took check before i even got to the cashier. then i went to disney store i think, and everyone was getting these coupons for like (oh wait , i got 20% off HM cause i was early AND i got a free travel bag, except then i opened it later and found out it was a lunch box. IT EVEN HAD A THERMOS??!) 20% off, and i was like, how come i dont get one, so i just waited till i got to the cashier and asked can i use it, even though i dont have a coupon? she let me. OH. and this is what i bought. i bought my sister’s birthday and christmas present there. the snow globes were buy one get one free (of equal or lesser value). i bought her this mickey christmas thing for $30, and got a free other one for $25, but the total was only $16.31… how’d that work, thats almost 50% off!!
    then i went to B&Body works, and i wanted this ginger basket thing for my mom, but they were all on display, so they didnt have prices on them. then they had to look it up . OH YEAH. whats up with TAX is 5% now!? i realized that like LAST WEEK. then after that it was like 10 something and i left to go to fair oaks cause i HAD to buy this CK shirt for dan that he wanted, but didnt want to spend money on. it was $69.50 and on sale for $33. (i have to go back cause she didnt let me use my coupon, and there wasnt any time expiration on it). this shirt was ONE OF A KIND, and i found it. ^___________^ i had good luck today. (shopping by myself) but then.. my sister found $40 on the ground, so i guess i didnt have THAT much luck.
    then i went to brookstone to by my brother a Föm thing, and i saw jamie and billy there. it was weird.
    i found out my parents bought my brother the same thing!!

    then i left the mall because my parents were going to eat somewhere, and it was in manassas and i was supposed to meet them, so i was in a rush. but i went to tower and bought my mom and dad and dan DVDs, like 67 dollars, and saw eugene, my stalker, though he didnt recognize me cause of my hair and new liscence. (oh yeah, i took 50 east and west from 28 S, and i couldnt figure out how to get to Fox from there, so i just went back to the exit for 66E in centreville) and THEY were like 15-20 minutes late. i ate, then i was tired, so i went home and played on the PC; my sister mom and dad went back to manassas mall. they werent back by 5:45, so i left with dan and went to his dorm.


    for thanksgiving @ my grandma’s house, i got to see my baby again!!

    i used my new makeup from … well its not really new, but i wore my new Tori Amos shirt i got in the mail with my mom’s autographed picture.

    i bought my mom this bath and body works basket and the tori amos DVD of making of ‘a sorta fairytale’.
    i bought my brother a cute lil’ brookstone pillow. (my parents bought him a duck shaped one)

    PUMPKIN CHIFFON PIE RULES!!

    i bought ariel these snow globes at the disney store
    this is what i bought dan for our 100 days (Dec 12); he wanted this jacket, but it was $90 (but i got it on sale for $70 + 20% off) and i bought him a shirt to match which was like $5 (i returned a $25 shirt, and then 20% off).
    For christmas, I bought dan the calvin klein shirt and a Björk DVD of greatest hits Volumen 1993-2003
    I got this thing in the mail for a free scarf from Express with any purchase (dan says im not allowed to give him one cause of this rule of it undoes your ties or something, so i bought one for myself. i had to buy something with it, and the cheapest thing was gaudy jewelry for $28, so i bought earmuffs (it was on my christmas list!!) for like $38 i think. real rabbit fur and real leather. ooooooooo!
    for my dad’s christmas, i bought him monty python DVD and made him a rudolph at bulid-a bear. he loves rudolph, in fact, i already GAVE him the rudolph. (can you tell that his nose lights up??)

    i’ve become such a cam whore!! i havent been paying attention at all to ken’s lil directions for my application. i swear i’ll finish it soon. and

    happy turkey day!!

    i woke up at like 12:30 today, and left dan’s dorm at like 3:30.
    O_O

    i so lazy!!

    but i actually have done a lot of computer work! i did like 5 commission graphic art jobs and two websites. i’m gonna be rich, huh??

    i hate how my email’s slow!!
    oh. i watched ELF today/… er yesterday. and most of THE DREAMERS with dan. i hate will farell. i love sex in movies, though, i think it makes me appreciate the rest of the plot less, and im left just waiting for the next sex scene.
    oh YEAH. and MVC checks IDs, and i left mine in the car, AND im not 18 till a week, so yeah.

    i hate searching.
    at the end of a bowl of chicken noodle soup, swirling my plastic spoon around looking for a noodle, or something worthwhile to eat.
    even more so, when i see a bit, then i can never find it again.
    and i have to give up and watch the little grease spots move as i take it over to the sink.

    last night i went to my boyfriend’s house for dinner.
    his relatives are from wisconsin, where the conversation SOMEHOW kept reverting back to cheese (i am SO serious) and hunting and at one point, people were singing cigarette ad jingles.

    i liked getting out, meeting people.

    then we went to the mall, and i totally lost all of my sense of direction, going in circles and circles to the ATM. Dan said that giving someone a scarf is bad luck because it undos your ties.

    THAT IS SO TRUE!! i gave my best friend a scarf for christmas, and now we never talk!!

    i got this cool water paint makeup from Hot Topic. FINALLY theres a red eyeshadow i want. MAC didnt have it. Isnt that sad that i go to Hot Topic for makeup when the makeup store doesnt have it? Thats the only thing i go in there for. I bought Yellow there for Prom in June, and i bought a pen last year Nov there. I also bought hair clips for prom there (glittery flowers). And thats all.

    Pumpkin Cheesecake and Pumpkin Frappachino (SO YUMMY) over stupid coffe table wanna be books, that of course, make too much sense.
