A prolonged Weekend Wanted
“I lost some time once. It’s always in the last place you look for it.” – Neil Gaiman
This weekend kicked ass. There are exactly no words to describe how awesome this weekend was. So I guess I can only tell you exactly what happened. Ok.
Friday– It started off rocky. And toes were stepped on. So I’m just going to ignore that part. We got to Mija’s apartment around 5-ish. Ignored stomachs caused crankiness. But that was fixed thanks to Mija who bought Chick-Fil-A. After that we proceeded with the rest of the night which involved movies. We watched my new favorite movie Mirror Mask. I am so in love with that film, and its creator Neil Gaiman. ^_^ We watched one of Mija’s favorites. I loved it as well. And then I stayed up and read.
Saturday– Continued on with the rockiness but was thankfully smoothed out later on in the day. Due to unforeseen difficulties we couldn’t go along with the original plan for that day. After, everything was calm we decided to go to Andre’s. Where we enjoyed the most wonderful lunch and dessert. I ordered a chicken grilled sandwich with a salad. Mija ordered a ham sandwich with mushroom soup (so good), Kat got the same. Mom ordered a roast beef sandwich I think with tomato soup. They were the most beautiful sandwiches I have ever seen let alone ate. I don’t remember what my coffee cake was called but it was good. I almost didn’t want to ruin it. But I did.
Saturday still-After we ate we went to Borders. Kat bought a book and mom bought a Korean drama that I don’t remember the name of. She loves her dramas. I wanted another Neil Gaiman book but they didn’t have the one I wanted. So we went to Bookstop which is one of the coolest book stores in the world. Sadly, we heard that they were being shut down soon. I hate that. That was my first time going there and it could be my last. Sucks. Anyway, there I was going to buy either Sunshine by Robing McKinley or Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman. (I’m obsessed with him now.) Anyway, I was going to get both but changed my mind and decided to wait until we went to Halfprice Books to see if I could find both books but cheaper. We went there next, sadly they didn’t have the books. So we went to Barnes and Nobles there I found the same books but I also found Mirror Mask on dvd. I had planned on getting Sunshine but at the last minute changed my mind. I got distracted by these cool artist tools. They were hand models:wooden figures of hands. I really want one so bad. They are extremely amazing. We left Barnes and Noble with no movie nor a book. After that we went grocery shopping and went back to the apartment.
Sunday- We woke up late. We got ready and went to the mall. Again I entered a Borders book store this time I was for sure going to buy a book or a movie. At least one. Again I found both books that I wanted and the same movie. However, I could only get one. After much consideration I decided on the book Sunshine. Finally right? We continued to walk around the mall. We ate lunch a a Chinese wok. Walked it off. Found the cutest dress at a reasonably cheap price. However, I could not purchase it because their credit card/ check machine was broken. Cruel store. After that we proceeded to the Disney Store. Yay Disney! Now, I am a big fan of Beauty and the Beast. I just love Belle. And the next events that partook in the Disney store were later compared to that of a vulture circling its prey. lol I will not explain this part. Just know that my mom does possess Jedi mind powers. *KICK ASS* After leaving the Disney store, we left the mall and found ourselves at Best Buy. Mija wanted a wireless internet thingie. We found it but decided to buy it at Walmart for less. But before that we went to yes yet another Borders. There I found Mirror Mask on dvd yet again. Mom was going to buy it but I changed my mind again and told her I could wait for it. From Borders we went to Walmart and then back to the apartment.
This wasn’t even the entire weekend just the gist of it. I had a lot of fun (I mean I always have fun at Mija’s apartment) I am just so inspired right now. I have held the same movies and books this entire weekend. And all from different stores. My mom and sister possess Jedi powers and I have to do my history homework and read the short stories for English. Sigh back to reality once again. It was a great weekend though.
“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life…You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”- Neil Gaiman
