Yesterday felt like it was three days but it was really ONE. This is going to be a very xanga-ish entry where I talk about my day, and the entry is only interesting to the people who are mentioned in it.
I woke up at 4:10 in the morning because Connie was supposed to pick me up to go to Ontario Mills for Black Friday shopping. It turned out she had changed the time to 6:00 and the text didn't reach me. I woke up naturally at 3:45, and I was like "I wonder what time it is. It can't possibly be anywhere close to 4:00 because it looks like it's midnight" but I forced myself to look at the time and I was very unpleasantly surprised. Instead of going back to sleep, for some reason I found it necessary to turn on the computer and check all my usual websites. Which was really unnecessary because no one really blogs on Thanksgiving night. Besides me. Then Connie came and we drove off.
We shopped until 1 I think. Halfway through, my legs were in extreme pain and I kind of wanted to die. All those hours of shopping for ... a pair of Nine West heels for $21.53. Yes, Black Friday is WELL worth it. -__- I really hope it gets ingrained into my head NEVER to go black friday shopping again. All the good stores have extremely long lines that wrap around the store, and all the stores with fewer people don't have any good deals. Plus, since we went to an outlet, everything is basically the same price anyway. Also, when I get accidentally pushed by someone, usually I figure that it was an accident but on black Friday shopping day, I instinctively respond with "fucking pushy shopper bitch!" In my head of course. I think I'll try doing all my Christmas shopping on College Ave, where the feeling is much different from a mall atmosphere.
Black Friday shopping is probably the only time I ever think guys are smarter than girls. The boys went to Frys and made a little game plan of what to buy and who would get the thing. They actually do end up saving a lot of money, and the things they buy are well worth it. Girls end up going to some mall where they have to circle around a parking lot for hours and THEN walk for hours and hours. At least I know I worked off my Thanksgiving dinner.
We had Jamba Juice, which I kind of did not want to have because I wanted to eat at home, but I did anyway. From now on, I have to start getting the smaller size, not the original because even though it's just Jamba Juice, which is fairly healthy, I still think I'm eating too much. Smaller portions! I have an index card somewhere in my dorm where I wrote a bunch of diet rules, one of which was "Eat like a French person."
I went home and slept for an hour then woke up and went to Best Buy and Circuit City with my brother. Biggest effing waste of time EVER. I wanted to buy How I Met Your Mother season 1 ($12.98 at Circuit City!) and Friday Night Lights but they weren't there. ARGH! WHO is buying How I Met Your Mother dvds?! No one watches that show. If you do, come be my friend.
Then I called a bunch of people to go to Souplantation. I thought I would just ask Danny to give me a ride and then I remembered he can't drive at night because his headlights are broken. So I called Owen. Then Eric called and I was like "ERIC! Can you take me because I assume that if Owen gives me a ride, I'm going to arrive twenty minutes late" and he was like sure. Right after I hung up, Owen calls and is like "hey I'm near your house" and he was EARLY. Bizarre twist of events.
Mmm Souplantation. I managed to not get chili. I got a lot of salad, mac & cheese, biscuit (soooo good which means soooo buttery), cornbread, blueberry muffin, and apple cobbler with frozen yogurt. I regret ... the blueberry muffin. It looks like that's so little food, especially compared with what I used to eat, but I think now, a typical dinner would have just consisted of the salad. I'm not paying $8 for a salad though.
Then we drove off to Frances L's. It was super windy, and as we were sitting in the parking lot we were like AHHH TYPHOON! I went in Eric's car and we drove to pick up Henry and Jackie, which resulted in our arriving 20 minutes later than everyone else who left the same time we did. I kind of figured they would just sit in their cars outside Frances', which they did. HAHA
I heart Frances L's house. We get to do a lot of the things there that I love to do with TMV, which includes eating, talking, playing video games, and watching trashy tv. We played on her Wii, and it was some sort of game with a lot of mini-games. Then we decided to turn it off and watch tv. BEST SHOWS EVER. It's very surprising how Eric, Frances L, and I all have oddly a lot of a knowledge about trashy mtv shows. We watched Gay, Straight or Taken first and I got it right for BOTH episodes. I think it's a mix of my fabulous gaydar plus I've watched so much reality tv that I can pick up on the little clues that writers set up to reveal a character. Then we watched Tila Tequila HAHA. So much good conversation results from these two shows
Frances L (to Eric): Did you know who she was before the show?
Eric: *pause*
Me: You mean, did he watch Tila Tequila in a porno?
Show: *man goes on a date with a girl doing some sort of martial arts and he punches really horribly*
Everyone: OMGGG GAY! SO GAY!
Frances L: Is Tila even her first name?
Everyone: Hmm ... I don't know
Owen: I think her real name is Tila Nguyen
Me: WHAT?! You guys NEVER know any celebrity's name but you know that her name is Tila Nguyen?!
*commercial for The OC comes on*
Frances L: Do you guys like Mischa Barton or Rachel Bilson more?
Eric: I don't even know which one is which
Frances L: Mischa Barton is blonde and Rachel Bilson is---
Me: WHAT!? You don't know which one is which?!
Eric: Just tell me who Rachel Wilson is!
Me and Frances L: BILSON.
Frances L: Do you think Blake Lively is pretty? She's the one in ... Traveling Pants
Me: There's no way they will know what you're talking about.
Eric: Yeah. What Traveling Pants movie?
Frances L: The girl in that movie, Accepted
Eric: OHHH HER! Yeah she's pretty hot
That's as far as my memory reaches but I know my throat was getting hoarse from yelling and laughing while playing Wii and watching awesome tv. We watched Man Vs. Wild too. Apparently it is a show that appeals to all. People then kept falling asleep and at some point, Eric and I were both sleeping while Henry and Frances played Wii tennis. Every time I sleep in Frances' couch, I have to cover my entire body with her pillows so my body heat is contained. I wonder how crazy I look - a little mound of pillows. I woke up at 3 and we decided to leave. The entire night, I kept thinking it was already 2am but I would look over and it'd be like 9.
It is also INSANELY cold here. I really don't get it - I think it's much colder than Berkeley is. The car ride was a little painful because we were all freezing.
Now it's 12:20. I woke up at 10 - too late to go running :( Oh well. I want to call people to make plans but no one would be available right now. TMV should be early risers. Then we can eat Ihop together at 8am in the morning.
