Song of the moment: Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand




A lot of interesting has happened to me in the last couple days. It just takes me a while to remember them... short-term memory sucks.



Wednesday


I took the bus downtown after school and picked up my first paycheck from Coldstone Creamery. I tried cashing my check at Wellsfargo, but since my mom basically gave away my old account and ATM card to my aunt in the Philippines (to make easier money transactions and stuff), they wouldn't let me cash it. I looked at my check and saw that it was from Bank of America, so I walked across the street and attempted to cash it there. The bitches charged me a 5 dollar whatever fee.


After that, I went straight to Toadal Fitness and signed up for a membership. I went on a tour of their small but cozy facilities the day before, but didn't have the funds to pay for it. The total price for the initiation fee, first month's due and LAST months due, and the "Queen" membership came to 96 dollars. Not bad. The initiation fee at 24 Hour Fitness alone is over 100 dollars. Damn coorporate fuck heads.


Anywho, after I signed up and talked with a trainer about scheduling my first (out of 8) free sessions, I walked on over to Logo's and bought Memoirs of a Geisha in addition to my winter break reading list. After that, I went to O'neals and bought my exchange gift for Conner, which was a neat camoflouge (I probably spelled that wrong, but I'm too lazy right now to go look it up) trucker hat which was conveniently 50% off. After that, I walked aroun, bought random things/presents for people, until I came across a "cute" little group of carolers in front of GAP.


Or so I thought. They were actually protestors. They stood in front of GAP for hours singing anti-coorporation/sweat shop songs/christmas shoppers who shop at places like Gap in the tunes of famous Christmas carols. They also had a big projector placed on top of someone's car and showed slides of children working in factories, charts, etc. I laughed and watched them for about 15 minutes while trying to hide my O'Neil surf shop bag. I also took home some of their fliers--one of which had Che Gueverra printed next to the words, "RAGE AGAINST THE SWEATSHOPS". They gave me an idea for a new article: 'Crazy Hippies Attempt To Bring Down the GAP'. Just kidding. I'll just pitch the whole sweatshop idea to someone else. I already wrote an article on 'world hunger', I am not about to write another important news article. I'm too lazy to do the research (I'm too lazy period).


After my short enlightenment on the dangers of shopping at big sweatshop-using clothing, I went to Borders and studied my lines for my first rehearsal for Sacajawea. After that, I walked on over to the Actor's theatre, rehearsed witht he cast for 2 hours, etc...


I have to cut my blogging short today. I have to go and get ready for my youth group's Chrismas Party at 5 and I'M STILL IN MY PAJAMAS holy crap. Yeah I'll blog later... if I remember
