sucker
good news. even though i didn't include it in my cd wish list, i'm really looking forward to owning emm gryner's asianblue. i previewed it at school (while aimlessly wandering the fic/lit section at the ut bookstore... what a pain), and it sounded really good. so i went to deja vu discs today and reserved it. so in one to two weeks, and $8.99 + tax later, i shall be the proud owner of said cd! yahoooooooooooo!!!! so excited! i went on a consumer-minded expedition, which included said journey to dvd, and i was very proud of myself as i resisted the urge to spendspendspend money on various items. like what you may ask? why don't we make a list, shall we?
1. the new instyle, w/drew barrymore. why? b/c there was a section on how to choose the RIGHT hair length for your face, and the semi-short & medium articles looked promising
2. various skeins of acrylic yarn. why? i want to start on my scarf soon, but am holding out for wool yarn only, and was tempted by the acrylic b/c it was the only kind that was in abundance
3. knitting magazine. why? there was a cool pattern for a scarf
4. knee high boots. why? aldo and pegabo were holding massive sales (50% original, sometimes w/ additional 25%), and i really want to wear more skirts
5. jeans. why? i'm becoming more despondent as i search for THE jeans.. AE's favourite jean is the closest thing to acceptable so far
6. makeup. why? walmart. enough said.
7. create-your-own-tumbler from starbizucks. why? i've started drinking a lot more tea, and i like the idea of having something plastered with pictures, especially if i tote it to japan
8. yellow labrador calendars. why? yellow labs=remy, and they were all 75% off. the calendar business is good for those with a short attention span.
so yes. in the end i just bought a cookies & cream smoothie from timothy's. hah.
lately, i have been feeling quite unsympathetic/downright rational/unemotional when answering or giving opinions concerning my brother's infatuation with his schoolmate leila. i don't know if this is a test, or if it's supposed to happen between them. she seems super nice, and i would really like to get to know her, but i can't bring myself to make the effort. i guess it's because it's almost like this infatuation is another step in the dilution of his faith; i don't think he's spiritually ready to take on a non-christian girlfriend. sucks!!! and he probably thinks i'm just well, mean, but i know exactly what he's going through, and it's sucks. period. argh. i have to commit myself to major prayer action tonight!!
