Raise your hand

Chatterbox: Inkwell

Raise your hand

Raise your hand if you don't like shopping.  *Raises tongue, nose, ears, arms and legs off the ground*  I don't like shopping. 

My mom and I went shopping for almost TWO hours today.  To get NEW clothes for the first time in YEARS.  Then we had to get deodorant and other things.  THEN we went to the grocery store.  

PURE torture.  AAH.  *Breaths in and out deeply*  And Autumn and Luna got to stay home.  :(  They got to get sprayed with cold water.  I didn't.  :(

The only good thing is I got shorts.  Three pairs.  Now I'll finally have shots that actually fit!!!!  Yaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!  (TOO MANY EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I completely and toatlly agree with Lena and Emily. On Sunday, I had to go shopping for FIVE STRAIGHT HOURS *dies* *revives*. Malls are the worst - you walk and walk till you feel like you'll collapse, are dragged into dressing rooms that smell like something has decayed, stuffed into millions of clothes you're trying on, AND there's absolutely no windows or fresh air anywhere *shudder*.

Malls are the worst!!! I so agree. But today we're going to the bookstore which is at a mall, and I don't mind that much, because I love bookstores. You don't need to try on a book before you buy it. :)

Well, yes, as some of you have pointed out, there are some stores that are fun - bookstores, for instance - but, Mary W., shopping is, for us, that bad. Sorry. I'm glad it's not that way for everyone. :P

No, after my mom announced we're shopping on Saturday, I still think it's not as awful as you make it out to be, but I can definitely sympathize. I'd rather do anything but go to the mall on Saturday.

I definitely agree about the malls, Allison. Malls are appallingly managed.

Though it is fun, if you're walking through a mall, to randomly stop and start staring at the ceiling, and then other people start wondering what you're looking at, and they stop and stare... *grin* Mob psychology. Pretty funny.

Ahhhhhh!!! Meadow! Adina! I think we were triplets, but switcheed at birth!!!!!!! I LOATHE shopping!!!!! I thought I was the only middle schooler on the planet (besides my friends) that aren't in love with shopping! I hate shopping because.... nothing fits *blushes blazing red* and malls are appalling and you get dragged around and around and around untill your legs fall off and your arms come off at the slightest jolt! Well, it is nice sometimes (pretty rarely), but over all, uhhgggg!!!! I LOVE shopping at Border's, though! Anyway... To no shopping! Yayayayayay! *tries to leap up and spread legs out really far while in air. fails misserably! lands hard and topples over. Blushes again. Thinks "Yep, that's me, Miss Grace! lol!"* ;D ;D ;D ;D

Um, I know I'm crazy outnumbered, but. . .I love shopping. Preferably in a cool little store, but I wouldn't say no to a trip to a mall. Sorry. Don't shoot me.

So I guess I'm like the only one who likes shopping. *shrinks into a small dark corner* Except like the only place I like to shop at is Michaels (craft store). And I do like to clothes shop with my mom and aunt sometimes.
