Hot Topics is quickly losing points in my book. Not because everyone shops there, things are horridly over-priced, and all they're really doing is introducing a wonderful subculture into the mainstream market. Noo.... it's because the guy behind the cashier forgot to remove that damned security ink cartridge. Definitely non-plussed since now I have to haul ass back to the mall to get that undone.

On a brighter side, I got two new pairs of shoes. Cheap ones from Payless, but they look like Sketchers anyways. $40.

Finally got some fitted shorts at Sears. Their men's department is horridly small so the selection wasn't as grand as I'm used to... Also kinda ironic that all the shirts with nice fronts/backs are all small or large. No one has good medium-sized shirts anymore! Then again, I don't want to wear half the shirts out there because someone said that brandnames on the front are now fashion staples. If I'm not advertising some sort of preppy line, it's always a skater/alt. brand. Did manage to get a nice dragon sweater. And more boxer briefs. $89.

Had a haircut and it's looking gorgeous. Angie's really the best stylist at... that place that I get my hair... erm, cut. There was an estimated hour and half wait (!) since everyone was getting their back-to-school cuts, but half of them didn't show up so it was more like 45 minutes. Contemplated getting that BedHead "wax-in-a-spray-can" since the wet look is starting to lose it's hold. ::shrug::

Ran into Mica manning her cart infront of Suncoast. She wanted to "massage" my hair with this bizarre contraption that was the bastard child of a green tea ceremony whisk and a spider. Of course I said no.

I bought stuff from Claire's. Someone shoot me... although it was a really nice dragon ring. Reminds me of Falcour. $3.25.

Didn't get too much from Hot Topics (mainly because I knew that all the shirts there would eventually be worn by everyone at school) (hell, I hear that the Iron Chef shirts are catching on with my friends) besides a bondage-strap shirt (on sale too!), a mirror/ID carrier with rainbow stars (I would have preferred black, but that was the only one they had), and Penguin Chocolat Mints. Would have gotten the 'dork' shirt, but they had no medium-sized dirty-pink ones.$25.

Got tackled by Flavey while waiting for the parents outside of Hot Cats. Sis and I chatted with her, Lex, and Nikki for a good twenty minutes (and dammit, she's taking me to the gay store someday!) before we realized that the parents were sitting at a nearby table. Oops. Hope they didn't see me cruising the guys with the other girls or hear me talking about borrowing the pink-skunk shirt sis bought from said store.

Or that I actually watch Martha Stewart when there's nothing else on.

Would have gotten stuff at PacSun... but things there are major rip offs. I refuse to pay $50 for khaki shorts. Not to mention that all the shirts are sporting logos and brand names as well.

Didn't even think of going to Anchor Blue since that store's been marked. Ech.

And then went to Applebee's where I got another salad-dinner (didn't finish since I was stuffed from lunch anyways) and then home to American Idol.

So... um, yeah.
