chu_totoro.... Today was pretty ridiculous.
It started off innocently enough. Mom wanted me to get some shoes, because I absolutely REFUSED to wear her stiletto heels and kill myself during the dance, and SHE refuses to let me wear anything like tennis shoes, and well that was reasonable enough so then we looked at my schedule and there was absolutely no time to shop this week at all before Friday except.... right now.
So she dragged me to Westgate. Nothing there. Then to. VALLEY FAIR. Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh~
We browsed through Macy's and then found something at Aerosoles. And I swear, it was 1 PM then, I could have made it on time to my dance class if we just LEFT. Class at 1:30. But my mom was like "Oh, let's look around a bit more..." She dragged me around under the pretense of getting ACCESSORIES. Srsly. I tried to get through to her that this wasn't an SHS WF, it's NOT really a formal it's not like the stuff Adam went to, I mean it's taking place at the SCHOOL it costs about 50% less than a typical formal, the guys aren't covering for us or picking us up and I doubt they're going to go through with the flower tradition and all in all it's more like a HC but no, she just doesn't get it, she has this fantasy in her head and everything just because ADAM did it. x.o Half the time she was shopping more for herself anyways, so I think it was just kind of an excuse.
She spends forever shopping. I swear. She picks out something immediately, then hangs on to it as she scourges the place for something better, and I'm like Wtf just buy it if you like it, but she goes No, there might be something better if not I'll buy this as a backup, and an hour later she's tried 20 different pairs of shoes and doesn't like any of them and ends up buying the first one.
...... I was bored out of my mind. Called and talked to Eliza, incidentally also Zano and Kero since they were there, but then the phone ran out of battlife.
2:10. My dance class has started for 40 minutes, my mom turns on me every time I attempt to mention it, she says Oh, just skip it, and she has NO idea how much it sucks to miss a week and then get stretched out viciously by the teacher the next week OR when the teacher starts teaching more of the dance and you MISS that day and the next class you're just totally, totally lost...
So finally she agrees it's time to go. We walk out the door. Then she goes "SHIT where's my jacket?" And I'm like NUUUUU because we've been to a gajillion stores the past 3 hours and I have no idea where it could be, so I was like Screw you, give me the keys I'm not going with you I'm going to wait in the car, and I did, and I slept/listened to music/was bored as hell for FIFTY MINUTES because she didn't appear until 3 PM.
Went home, then immediately off to koto which was 3:30, and just got back and I haven't eaten anything since this morning aside from a little bit of Jamba Juice in Valley Fair, and just. WTF.
But. To look on the bright side. I got... shoes...? And my mom said she got me a bday present, which is what took her so long (me: wtf don't buy it when I go shopping with you =.=) and she made me get a little bag thing, but it's v. cool because it's not a handbag or shoulder bag, it like. Has this bracelet-y thing and it's more like a handbag except it hangs off a bracelet except it's not really a bracelet and I've not seen something like that before and it's rather convenient (although what would I carry in it?) and it served to amuse me very much for a time, so yeah.
Anyways, my old housekeeper also a.k.a. one of my godmothers came to the house while I was away (I got home and she was leaving >>) and I got $20 more and my godfather's back from Shanghai and he'll be here 'til the 9th, so they'll visit some these weeks. (Why THIS week though? dammit, I probably won't be here...)
And. I should NOT just have wasted 20 minutes on the computer and wow I type fast when I'm vexed and now I must go food and PRACTICE PRACTICE the hell out of my cello until it is time to leave and I am forced to stop and I will go with my family to eat good Asian food and get money and be happy. And then I'll come home and sleep and tomorrow wake up and face hell. Yay.
Edit: Back from Chinese New Year gathering thing. Total red envelope earnings this year: $465. I AM RICH WOMAN!!! Fweee~ *happy happy*
