you can buy everything on ebay... i could probably find you on here. --jenny (my sister)--
sometimes people just say the randomest stuff. i thought this was funny yesterday when she said this at my mom's house, but i was disappointed later that evening when my hours spent searching on ebay for a pair of boots left me empty handed. my coworker said he found a great pair of running shoes on there, but it seems that no one makes a megs style of boot anymore. and i am continuing to pointedly ignore huey's suggestion that it isn't boot season. in my opinion, it is always boot season. nowadays everything is square toed, flat toed, and slick soled. or worse, man-made materials, which is cleverly touted as vegan friendly. *sheesh* those are the pleather or plastic shoes that squeak when you walk.
all i ask for is a good sturdy ankle boot, with a lug sole and round bubbly toe. and black, not brown. and not with a 4 inch platform. anything touted as "biker" or "goth" is probably a little too much. and i do not for the life of me understand why boots have laces up the front, buckles on the side and then still zip up on inside of the ankle. how many fake closures do you need? on the other hand, spikes on boots, while seeming like a fun idea, are also rather impractical. but would come in very handy for a well placed kick on the next guy who pissed you off. anyway, so i've come up empty handed so far. but if anyone out there finds a pair of boots that matches the above description and isn't more than $75, pick up a size 9 for me. awesome, thanx.
*sigh* sitting here at work, it's depressing thinking that last year on this date i was walking around on a huge beach and staring at the pacific ocean. over time it seems less like i was there and more like i watched a tv show about it one time. at least the weather is gorgeous today. but just thinking about it still makes me want to be anywhere but where i am today...
oh yeah... i got this amazing but crazy message from a friend of mine yesterday.
Floppy the Moose: hey, I wanted to let you know Holly and I are getting married. catcha later Floppy the Moose signed off at 3:54 pm.
i mean, wtf! talk about random... and here all i had sent before this was a message about having a happy st. paddy's day! my message is lame in comparison to his. and then he was gone before i even had a chance for congrats or anything. it's amazing how a message like this can make you smile and just make the whole rest of your day awesome just because you are so happy for your friend. of course, its also very ambiguous. was he in the process of getting married when he wrote it? is that why he had to sign off? or did he just propose? did they just come to a mutual decision? is he hopping a plane to vegas? the possibilities are endless and my curiousity is at its peak!! i guess i'll just have to call him to figure it out. seems a lot of people are getting married. or at least there is a neverending parade of people getting married. and one day all of our friends will be married off. then where will we be? i guess next in line.
so i think the winner for the week was the woman who walked into my store demanding a car charger for her cell phone... when i located the item for her (because of course she was too important to actually look around and find it herself) i told her how much it was and her brilliant reply was... i have to pay for that? well, i'm not gonna do that...
and she walked out. i guess she was headed for the store that gives everything away for free.
i'm seriously worried about the future of our race.
