extrania

I know that i am a female anomaly, but i absolutely hate shopping. it is too overwhelming and busy and confusing and just a waste of time in my eyes. I walk into a mall or a store and immediately fall into this state of braindeadedness that i cannot explain. i have heard that the oxygen level is elevated in casinos to keep gamblers awakeix (which i like), and i swear that the opposite is going on in the average mall. as soon as i get in, i'm the dumbest mudskipper that ever snailed across a pile of prehistoria. evidence... shit i buy. I rarely shop (for me) and when i do, i walk out with 1000 bags of shit that could go straight into the very large goodwill pile in the northeast corner of our bedroom. you could snowboard down that pile. i am just not good at it.

i used to dress in-my-own-fashionable-ish-way. but i believe that aliens probed me and removed that part of my brain. so now i just wish i could wake up in the morning and jump into my sanctioned union suit so i wouldn't have to think about it, or go to macy's or the gap ever again.

preachin to the choir over here. Maybe and the end can become a personal shopper, too.

Ugh,the mall. You can get better deals at Kohls, Marshalls, Ross, TJ Maxx where at least you can see out a window and if needed, leave the cart and get out of there.

No matter what I buy it winds up pilled, pulled, frayed, grayed, or stained up and fit for the garbage after one wearing. Sorta like your crappile of consignment goods, only my stuff gets bagged up for my 90 year old godmother who gets first dibs. Weird to see her in my pants though.

You're not alone in the dread of shopping either. I loath it. Hence, my wardrobe is quite..err..umm..how do you say...unique? eclectic. What makes it worse is my lack of contact with the real world. I have no idea what anyone wears other than what's on Project Runway.

So..yeah.
