How to Be Disappointed: A Handy Guide.

-->Go to store
Went to store!

-->Do you have a giftcard?
Yes!

-->Find a store with cute dresses
Wet Seal! Oooh, I've never been in a Wet Seal before. Oooh!

-->Find cute dress
Oooh, it's denim!

-->Find fitting room
Whyyy to employees in clothing stores always make you feel so awkward about using the fitting room, anyway?

-->Is dress one size too small?
Dammit.

-->Do they have larger size?
No.

-->Are you sure?
Yes.

-->Do they have two sizes larger?
Yes!

-->Does two sizes larger look like you are drowning in fabric ocean?
*glurgle*

-->Do they have similar dress?
;____;

-->Do they have another cute dress?
Plaid! I like plaid!

-->Fight way back into dressing room
Auuugh, the doors lock behind you! ;____;

-->Does dress fit?
Yay!

-->Purchase dress
This is awesome!

-->Has gift card expired?
Auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh.

-->Buy dress anyway, even though you cannot afford it and have no right to purchase it?
>_> *stuffs it in bag and flees*

How to be Gratified: Guide 2

-->Go to second-hand shop
I love the second-hand shop!

-->Do they have cute denim dress very similar to dress in chain clothing store?
EEEEEE.

-->Inspect price sticker
...Ten dollars.

-->Run gleefully out of store with new dress
BEST. DAY. EVER.

And I'm not really out that much for the other one, it's just. I have never payed twenty-five dollars for a dress before. >_< It seems really kind of awful. But! I got a skirt that looks like origami at the second-hand shop for two dollars, so ha. And I also got, um, some new horror movies that I don't need. >_> Um. And the store also had Black Sheep, which I have been dying for for-ever (IT'S A HORROR MOVIE! WITH SHEEP! It's basically the movie version of what would happen if all my stuffed sheep on my bed ever came alive and decided they hated me! I really, really want it), but it was a new copy instead of used and cost fifteen dollars.

To-morrow I am going to Boston! And on Friday through August 3 I will be with mhari. Wheeee!

wait, wati, boston?? can we hang out?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Uh I'll be in Cambridge? I'm supposed to spend time with my sisters and brother there but Friday before I take the commuter train out of South Station to mhari's we could maybe meet somewhere?

[velvet-tipping.livejournal.com]

we absolutely could, text me sometime today--do you still have my number?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I don't think I have your number--but could I maybe meet you in Harvard Square at about 12:00 to-morrow? That's when I'm leaving the family group, and sometime after that I'm going to South Station.

Do you want me to mail the DS9 DVD to mhari's house instead of your house so that you get it sooner? (I'm not sure I have her address, but anyway.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

UM UM I guess you should prolly mail it to me, just to be safe and all, and since I don't think she'll be interested. THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU.

[mhari.livejournal.com]

are you nuts I love DS9

But it would still be safer to mail it home, so's you don't miss it if there are postal shenanigans. :D

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I DIDN'T KNOWWWW.

That's true. And I can always mail it to you afterwards if you'd like. :D

Aw. I always find shopping a harrowing experience, so I'm glad it came out okay in the end.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I just get nervous shopping, especially in fancy real store.

[snowyofthenight.livejournal.com]

As a complete dress whore experienced dress shopper, let me assure you that $25 is a steal, girl. Also, pictures plz. :D

[julietveiled.livejournal.com]

*flails* Absolutely seconded. On both counts, I want to see pictures. But especially on the $25 is a steal, cause right now I'm trying to decide whether my cutoff is $100 or if I can go a little over that. Augh. Lastly, I love Wet Seal -- when they're not in Westminster and therefore marketing entirely to negatively sized Asian girls with no torsos or hips.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Thankfully, it is hard to market to negatively sized people in Central Pennsylvania--we are all very cornfed around here. Pictures will happen!

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Ooh, really? Also, I will!

[nowgoesquickly.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love second-hand stores. You can find such unique, inexpensive items there.

Also, this is a useful guide and I will have to remember to pack it along the next time I go clothes shopping. ^__^

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I know! They're so great.

XD Do the same, grasshopper.
