40cakes- "Their schoolgirl pact sent me to Hell; I'll show them what I learned there!"
- Last night I preregistered for the AIDS walk. I'll still show up early tomorrow morning, because I hear there's breakfast and some sort of concert. Whoot. Felt like a loser in the presence ofzuppy28 and jumungee who raised approximately one gajillion dollars each. Maybe I shoulda sold pencils on the street. Or apples. In a pinstripe suit with a monocle...
- Two people from work got engaged seemingly one right after the other (no, not to each other), and then there were lots of spring babies so a bunch of people hung out at Q Lounge. I was gonna go, then I wasn't, and then jumungee was going after prereg, so I figured I might as well make the walk with her, planning to stay for one drink.
Well, in retrospect, I really did have only one drink. I stayed until 10p, though. I only had the one drink because Midori Sours were $8. I only had seven, but there was a pile of ones left in a tip pile, so I tossed the seven bucks in there and the guy figured I had eight. Sorry for cheating you out of a dollar tip, dude. But I imagine when you work at a swank club in Manhattan on a Friday night, you'll make it back. In fact, I bet you make more than me.
spuffylover24 and I had fun with this guy who didn't believe we were dorks. I think it started because we were talking about Star Wars, and he scoffed and said we had never seen Star Wars. We defended our nerditude exponentially.
S24: I have my own website. Get Slayed.Net.
Me: I go to anime conventions and dress up as characters.
S24: We write NC-17 fanfic. Me for Spike and Buffy, her for anime.
And so on and so forth. Also got my groove on with some sexy ladies from work, and everyone told me I was looking hot. It's either the high heels, my hair down and looking nice, or the fact that they were already drunk when I arrived. Not sure. A friend ofjennifun thought I was hot. I'm Sexy! LOOKIT MY BUTT! SHAKEY SHAKEY!
- Dammit, I had forgotten how awful the first DVDs of Utena are. Well, I mean, yay 7 episodes per disc, but the menu navigation omg wtf. I like that these episodes are fun and interesting and look like they're leading somewhere that the series just doesn't end up at.
- I stopped in at my favourite store, Target, for general needed items and figured I'd try on some swimsuits, as I can't actually remember the last time I bought one. (high school?) In happy news, I was too small for the XL tankini. Bitchin. But that's not where the fun of this story is.
From inside the fitting room, I hear, "Ma'am, are you handicapped?"
Voice 2: "No, but there aren't any open fitting rooms, so she told me I could use this one. Let me finish and I'll get out."
Then I hear, "One. Two. Three. Four."
Silence for about a minute.
Voice 1: "There are four open rooms."
V2: "Okay, now there are, but there was nothing open when I came in. When I'm done changing, you can have it."
V1: "Are you handicapped?"
V2: "No, but--"
V1: "Are you handicapped? There are four open rooms."
V2: "But there weren't WHEN I CAME IN. Let me finish changing."
The debate continued for a while, involving Target employees and security, but the words exchanged really didn't change much from above. When I got out of my fitting room to actually see what was going on, this woman in a wheelchair had pretty much parked herself in the handicapped fitting room entrance so that the woman using it to change couldn't close the door. And the door to the handicapped fitting room is open in the way so that other people trying to exit the fitting rooms can't get out, myself included. So the next time the woman insisted "There are four rooms open!" I shouted, "Actually, now there's six, but we can't get out!" The woman seemed to miss my point, and just added the "Six rooms open!" without moving.
After I had a good laugh about the whole thing, I felt kinda bad and wondered if the woman was mentally as well as physically handicapped, as the very simple argument didn't seem to get through to her, even when employees and security asked VERY nicely just to let the woman finish changing and so sorry for the inconvenience, but she was here first please please please shut up. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between people who have mental problems or are just assholes. Sometimes it's a combination of the two. Who knows.
- No one has the new Vitamin Water I found! I KNOW I didn't make it up in my brain! It's raspberry-apple, and it's called "Defense" and it's in a red label! I love it! So good! In other news, the fitty-cent flavoured Vitamin Water is also good (happy,prettykate?).
- Know what else I can't find anywhere? The special Star Wars Dark Chocolate M&Ms. OMG WTF I found one bag so it was enough to entice me.
- Holy cow, 10 o'clock already?

I got the M&Ms at Target -- it's in their ad this week. And WalMart's had 'em too.
I have to stockpile them so when they're not making them anymore, I still have a stash. :)
