yesterday having resigned myself to vapid tapping at my computer/ stuffing my face with muffins/ making faces at my dog, i was absolutely delighted when michelle (ong) jioed me to go expooooo so she could hunt for dance shoes. the queue was insane but at least it moved quite quickly (liars and fronters-- there was PLENTY of space in there i bet they were just generating hype).
in the end we couldn't find shoes for her, although she did see the rainbow pair she'd been talking about only on friday-- the ones i had insisted were for gay pride (heee) and which were now selling at 60 instead of 139. O.O still-- no sizes. bah. sometimes i think we all wish we had bigger feet so we could wear guys' shoes. we concluded that the sale was a very "elson and weilong" kind of thing because it was utterly their style; matchy matchy matchy! i fell in lust with this blue jacket from the respect me range-- and found the matching cap and reversible tube (but in another colour scheme la) for it, which had me hopping up and down in absolute delight until i learnt that the jacket was 60 bucks. :(:( cannot. i am too broke and i need to buy a hundred and one bday presents. plus-- 60-- i mean, i can buy shoes!
ah yes shoes. whyyy does it close at 7. i want more time to look at shoes. i heard one of the salespeople saying "yes, this is better for offroad" and i was DYING to look at that pair. i want i want i want! bleh. but i would have felt horrid if i dragged mich to hunt for running shoes when the whole purpose of our trip was for her to find dance shoes.
we did end up spying on guess heels, and i've found yet another avowed hater of toe cleavage. whee.
and... i think something michelle said yesterday really really made my day. (: it was a very simple thing, but it cleared up an impression i've always had, which i guess weighed quite heavily on my mind, sort of. and i guess it was good to know that whatever i'd thought wasn't quite correct, or at least not the whole story. hearts blast a lot a lot :)
grrrr my dog is whining at the rain again. i'm gg to go let him in.
krystal and collen and tracy and i are going for saucony passion run (which i keep referring to as the 100plus run because everyone does a "sorry come again?" when i try to pronounce saucony. bah). whee. means it's time to start running properly and consistently again. well it's a break from the books i guess i should be happy.
won't be blogging about evocation till after the last performance tonight cos i realised my account will be full of spoilers. my only words on the topic-- GO. just GO, if you haven't gone, and if you're free. even if you're not free. hohoho
