When we go out, we have to take a bus to get to the subway. Where we get off the bus, there's a "99 cent" store. In truth, it's far from that. It's more like a "random cheap crap" store.

Anyway, these kinds of stores typically have interesting products in them, should you care to look.

Take, for example, these "athletics shirts".....

For the low, low price of $12.99 (suggested retail), you can get three of these fine... "athletics" shirts. I'm sure their model can tell you all about the athletic things he does in them, such as beating his wife.

They had giant Oreo cookies with... no creme filling. Which is kind of the point of Oreos, if I remember correctly.


Some interesting perfumes at the counter.

Apparently the marijuana one really does smell like marijuana. Who'd have thought? (Something to think about: who wants to go around smelling like pot?)


After our trip we went back to the store, just because we had to find out what the "pussy" perfume smelled like. We are... someone relieved, somewhat disappointed to report that it does not smell like pussy. It had a rather floral scent, actually...

There was also a "Butt Naked" one that smelled pretty good, but I would feel so awkward buying anything that was named that.

Since I've been trying to stay out of my room as much as possible, I've just been hanging out in Casey's for long periods of time. We made tea, and I tried to read my tea leaves, very unsuccessfully.

I'm going to guess it's because I was using a tea bag, and also because I don't know how to read tea leaves.

Yesterday Mister Boyfriend called me just as we were getting back to school... and he said I sounded happy, which made him happy. I guess he does notice that I don't usually sound very cheerful, but doesn't bring it up.

Of course, when he called me back later, I sounded kind of down again I suppose.

Eh well. It happens.

---Edit---

I hate the bathroom walls here. Every bathroom should be twenty feet underground and soundproof. I don't want to hear people doing their business.

99 cent stores rock! There are always awkwardly named scents, pussy always amused me. I think there's one called hot sex" or something, maybe they put herbs and spices in them to burn and set off hormones or something. I never knew.

R:C
In short: yes.

Also:

What the fuck does "Love of God" smell like? I hope they aren't grouped in any particular scent-relationship order, because of "Love of God" smells like "Pussy," I may have to quit going to church altogether.

The bathroom thing always bothered me, too. It's REALLY problematic on trips with the parents, where we all share a hotel room...bleck.

I haven't been in to a 99 cent store in quite some time ... this has intrigued me. though I still don't see myself going in to one any time soon. and I'd have to agree with you; the cream filling is pretty much the most important part of oreos.

RE:
You ask about back and forth...I guess I thought it was kinda obvious. I go from happy to "I don't fit in anywhere" back to happy and blah blah blah. Heh maybe it's not as bad as I think it is.

Hahaha I lol'ed at "black woman." I mean the other ones are funny but this one is so much more outrageous! And the t-shirt guys just looks like an angry version of will ferrel...

And talking to boyfriend dearest doesn't make you at least a little happier?
