all i needed was a box of envelopes. what i got was a box of envelopes, nail polish, mouthwash, a card, and "the big lebowski." come on, it was only $7.50. you would have done the same thing. i could have gotten "snatch" for $10, but i had to draw the line somewhere. who do i think i am? aaron?
so, what was fun was following the mini-gaggle of obviously high school girls into the store. if the requirements were height and weight, i could have fit in. but as it turns out my hair wasn't brown with blonde highlights, i didn't have it pulled into a pony tail and tied with a claire's bow, and i wasn't wearing a short jean skirt, exercise shorts, or a tank top. and i wasn't completely unaware of my surroundings.
i was, however, wearing sandals ... but they weren't black flip flops. and when i was driving, i used my turn signals. and i didn't stop where there wasn't a stop sign. and i didn't walk up to the non-automatic door and stand there for a second expecting it to open.
apparently they were there to check out coolers in the only way a high school girl knows how. "let's hang on to this one and see if we can find anything prettier." fortunately a lot of coolers were near the entrance, so i could get around them quickly.
now i'm left wondering. was i ever really like that? i mean, sure, i did a lot of giggling in my formative years. hell, i do a lot of giggling now ... depending on who's around ... and these days it's plainly called "laughing," thank you very much. i spoke with a lisp in public every now and then for no apparent reason ... participated in synchronized midnite bowling a lot ... made prank calls ... stuff like that. but at least it wasn't stupid. and i didn't have a bow in my hair.
