I hate shopping …. OK well that’s not quite accurate. If I did, I wouldn’t voluntarily spend 2 hours trying out jeans after jeans. In any case some people really need to decide on a numbering scale… or two. I mean, I get S, M and L (and the variations of XS, XL, XXL…), similarly I get 35 till 44. But WHY did XXXL start to equal S?! Or is this some sort of twisted scheme in making some feel better and others worse?
*loud cough* Anyway, after an exhausting day, it is natural that someone has to feel the brunt of my nerves. It dawned on me that my two pairs of lacy panties would never rival the empty shopping cart of an elderly lady. So I trudged up to the cash register, and placed my purchase on the counter offering a HUGE smile to boot. I’m told I sulk way too much, so what better moment to start?
I don’t think I managed to scare (and scar) anyone that badly in… well ever. There was a young man at the counter. And he was all flustered and ready to flee… if only! So he tried to bravely pack my purchases, only to realize that he forgot to look at the price tags. If he hoped he could ignore them, “this was not his day” would probably sum things up nicely.
Hmm… I wonder what he thought of my wide smile as I thanked him enthusiastically, all the while grinning like an idiot? 
Yep, I’m evil… BWAHAHAHAHA!
P.S. For those interested, first my router died and then… um… is there a less incriminatory term for ZOMG LAZY? *bats eyelashes*
I’m not sure about elsewhere, but here gypsies are generally rather… business oriented. They’ll stop you on the street trying to sell you whatever. It’s not a problem if you don’t need what they offer, the cunning businessman/woman1 is ready to rephrase his/her offer so it matches your needs. If you’re not taken in by their schemes, it’s really quite amusing to listen.
Some people, try a bit too hard though; or maybe it’s just me, lacking the necessary empathy. There was a young girl trying to sell cell phones, waving them in passerby’s faces. Getting tired of being ignored, she makes one last desperate attempt:
SENSATIONAL LAST MINUTE DEAL, BECAUSE I’M LEAVING TO MEET MY LOVER!!

1 I’m being sarcastic of course. Most of the time their merchandise is stolen.
There are times when I’m just not up to anything. Unfortunately, no one is ever going to pity me over a terrible sunburn. Most especially not, if lots of other people around me suffer of it. How do you perk up then? Apparently, setting a witty/mysterious status on your IM is the way to go.
Ten excruciatingly long seconds of thinking yielded the following:

Quite a disappointment, but then I got busy with work and forgot all about it. To my surprise, the message did eventually elicit a response:
Would that be a metal gear snake or a normal snake?
Who knew I’d end up being embarrassed for not being a metal gear snake, of all things? o_O

1 for those of you who don’t get it: snakes shed their skin.
