two new shirts and r2d2

last nights sleep was the best sleep ive ever had. in fact, it was so good i think im gonna try it again.
i was intending on waking up at 8 this morning and going to hang in carytown all day from 10 on. but i ended up sleeping in till 12 and going around 2.
i went there primarily to take pics of some great street style around rva. and what better place than our very own carytown.
unfortunatly, there werent many, i mean there were, but either they were off in the distance and i was too tired to be willing to chase them down, but there were some that were cool and werent more than liek 10 feet away from me when i saw them.
i met up with emily and we looked around in need for a bit. she was talking to someone when i got there, but i saw adam and i was like, hey man, and we talked for a bit. i need to photograph him, he left before i could get him.
need didnt have the shoes emily wanted so we went to world of mirth for dunnys, but dunnys were sold out. gr.
i got a munny though. its a zipper pull, but its a banana. i put it on my fanny pack

emily then had to leave because shes dumb.
i went to american apparel and chelsea was working. i didnt really know it cos i wasnt set on looking for her right off the bat. but i was looking for v-neck shirts.
i found some, but i knew they had more. so i went looking around and then she was sitting right in front of em, talking to someone else. and i was like hey! and she said the same. and i said, are these your v neck shirts? and she said yeahhh, not the deep v though, and i said, yeah i dont think i can pull that off.
id definitly like to try but not for a while, i need a transition.
anyway.
so i pulled liek 11 v neck shirts to try on. while i was doing that chelsea and her friend said, your not one of the bad customers right? sarcastically of course, they know im nice. i said "oh of course not, i work retail i know how it is. i hate the customers who turn everythign inside out give the hangers back to you but leave the clothes balled up in the corner of the fitting room" seriously those people suck. if you are one of those people grow up. heres how you do it:
you come out of the fitting room, if you arent sure if you bring out the clothes when youre done, you ask. just pop your head out and ask "should i bring the clothes i dont want out to you?" odds are the person will say yes, but if you dont know you should ask. dont be a dick and leave everything fucked up.
anyway, out of those shirts (i had a black, brown, gray, grey stripe white stripe, marbly gray, purple, green, forest green, and some others) only brown black and purple seemed to be to my liking. purple i wasnt sure about so i got chelsea and the other girl to approve, and they did. im glad they did cos i put it on when i got home and i said, man this is awesome.
so i got the purple and the black, i wasnt in the mood for buying a lot today, just a couple of things. im gonna wait a while till i go on a so called spree, which isnt a spree at all because im not rich enough to go on one, but a spree for me is buying liek 6-12 things in varying amounts of prices. the more i get the lower the price, and vice versa. you get it. its the poor mans spree you see.
anyway, after i pulled those i put all my clothes back in the right place, hung up of course, i mean i am a good customer. i only picked smalls so it wasnt hard for me to put them back on the hanger.
i was about to pay then i saw the belts, and i was liek OH i need belts. but not a spree day, so im still saving that for another day, but man those belts are pretty sexy.
i mean it is american apparel after all.
oh and to top it all off chelsea was like, give him 15 % off. that was nice!
i took pics of beth and her friend cos they were dressin snazzy.
i went to need just to see everything, and i tried on some cheap mondays. i need some cheap mondays, let me tell you.
they are tight, physically and like in the essence of the slang term there are few things tighter.
i mean nudies are up there with em.
i tried em on and then i came out and had a discussion with the guy who was runnin the fitting room, he was cool.
then i talked to the guy on register who sold me my dry pair of nudies that ive been wearing daily.
man i love em. we had liek a 30 min discussion on nudies. he got this incredible pair from sweden for a really good price, they were liek 130 because the american dollar is a lot more than the swedish dollar, so including shipping he said it only cost 130. mine were fucking 150. no shipping, and his look cooler. man, i gotta get on this.
but i do love my nudies. im developing two holes in the left butt pocket, from my moleskine. its workin on 3 or 4 now i think. i cant really tell, but im sure there will be 4 holes or maybe 2 small ones and a relaly big one at the top from it whenever i wash em.
for you guys who dont know what nudie jeans are, click the link called nudie on this page.
basically they make jeans perfectly with unwashed denim an pure indigo dye. you wear them constantly and dont wash them for a minimum 6 months (im going for a year, because the longer the better). all that time the jeans just get broken in and the denim fades and tehres a build up of oils and grime. when you wash em you get your own fade marks,a nd if you wear em a lot you get your own holes, so theres no pre fade or pre worn areas that dont match your body. its beautiful.
i want to get some of the slim jim japanese denim ones because its a thicker denim that breaks into your body better. and then i want to have it tailored in a bit.
after i talked to that guy, i left and got a smoothie then took pics of this awesome post office mail box that was covered in a large sticker or decal i guess, to make it look liek r2d2 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of star wars




when i was taking those pictures some lady in the car was talking to her friend and she said:
"is tha' boy takin' pictures of a mailbox?"
bitch. its a fucking r2d2 mailbox, that only happens once in a while.
cut scene.
im back home and i had a glass of wine with my parents in our back patio and enjoyed the warm weather.
i just had dinner, it wasnt good.
im gonna get somethign to eat, and then i think im going to enjoy another sleep.

visual proof

ok so all the pics are up. yess, and theyre in reverse order. dammit
im gonna try to recap the whole thing right now without looking at my other posts...
8:04 pm. the white subaru rolls into the opening in front of the bowe street parking deck. i get out with my laptop, ipod, ipod connector cable, camera, and of course my always important portfolio.
i go to where the line starts and i ask this douchebag who thinks hes so fuckin incredible at everything if hes in line. he looks at me and looks at the line and raises one eyebrow
"psh no. are people actually getting inline right now" he with a large amount of tude.
i said yes, and set my portfolio down.
the other guy who was first came out and started to carve. someone was admiring his tools. they must have been good. i dont really undestand carving tools but they were custom made by this chinese family who has been making sculpture tools for 5 generations. so they must have been pricey
we were both starving so he gave me some money and i ran out and got some five guys. he was a nice guy but he was kind of strange in an absent minded professor way. hell come up later in the story.
another girl comes into the line, numero 3.
she was really cool. she had a gothic look, but not over the top. it was pretty cool. she had rad dreds
emily and chris came a little after and we just chilled for a bit. the music tht was played wasnt really our taste, and it seemed to be all the mainstream shit of the genres. i think that 3 of the people freaked out when feel good inc came on, like it was the day after it was released. i dunno, i was just kind of perplexed, and then they were playing mr brightside and a lot of hardcore shit. im not a hardcore person so this wasnt my jams.
one of the girls who came later brought robot chicken season one and i watched a good amount of that, but it seemed like it was on from 10pm to 2 or 3 am. it was nuts.
keri and kristen came and theybrought a tent and an air mattress. they were the best prepared. the air mattress looked liek someone had peed on a towel and smeared the pee towl all over the mattress. i mean it smelled like tobacco so tahts prolly what it was. but still. not nice. kristen and chris posed on it.
after that emily and chris wanted to make a fort. and i was like whatever. i carried one piece of massive cardboard, but other than that it was all them. the cardboard fort was pretty funy though. they used paper towels from the bafrooms. and it was easy disposal for this morning.
the downside is that when they wanted to sleep people would always look through the holes in the roof, liek the first guy in line. he was.....how do you say, sketchy about sleeping people. apparently he doesnt see sleeping people a lot. and dont get me wrong the guy is a nice guy, but it was just weird. i remember he looked at a person who was asleep for maybe a straight minute without moving. ok thats pretty long if you think about it. and then he turned away and said:
"oh thank god hes still breathing, i was not in the mood for cpr tonight".......WHO THE FUCK THINKS LIKE THAT?
anyway. so after the fort was up... they went to watch the emperors new groove. and for some reason, i guess if i were a girl this would be my time of the month, because i just get mad or sad or whatever randoly now. i have like mood swings more than an old woman going through menopause.
that was a lie. that would be pretty fucked up if i had more mood swings than that.
well so yeah i was feeling mad and sad last night and i didnt wanna watch emperors new groove. later on i did though and so when i went looking for em i couldnt find em.
so i played scategories. i got 23 points in 6 rounds.
i was sucking like crazy.
afterwards i hung with ian and guy for a while in the hallway, and corrected their mistake. god what would they do without me. im so important to everyday life.
cut scene.
emily, chris kristen, some weird ass dude and i played the camping trip game
i wonder if i can remember it all
im going camping and im bringing: an astronaut, balogna, a cook book, a dinosaur, an elephant, a forklift, a gurilla, a harriet tubman, an igloo, jesus, a klansman, a loaf of bread, mayonesa, niagra falls (the weird dude picked that one), an o, a parallelagram, a queer, a raven, a spiderman suit, titties, a uteris, a vagina, wolverine, the xmen, a y, zoolander

well i cant remember o or y but considering that was liek 20 hours ago thats pretty good.
after that i kinda bounced between ian and guys little space and chris and emilys area.
chris and emily were sitting on chairs made by the douchebag guy from the beginning of the story. these were so shitty. i eman if i wouldnt be able to do any better i wouldnt be as cocky as he is. i mean what the fuck. what an arse. he looks like hes in his 30s too. dumbass.
hm after that i think emily and chris laid down and i listend to music and messed with pics and blogs and what not.
then i decided to sleep for acouple of hours, so at 5 am i laid down. i woke up at 7. around 730 people started coming in. i was wide awake which was kind of weird but i am a morning person. so whatever.
at 740 it was packed
i swear 14 hours was better than waiting an hour inline. it was actually fun. id totally camp out with those people agian. cept for the weird ones. ill skip that slumber party.
anyway, so i was second in line, and the first guy went in.
he came out but they were all looking at it, i guess just to show everyone inthere how to do it and go over it one last time.
i was called in and i was so goofy. i said stuff like "this is exciting!" and i was very bouncy. how strange.
i think the guy who was working on my stuff either thought iw as funny, or retarded.
whatever. my portfolio was perfect. i finished over the weekend.thats how great i am.
so i thought id be in there for a solid 10 minutes. but it was like one minute, he typed some things and then he said "youre good togo" an i was like, im done? he said yeah
i came out and i high fived half the people in line, and josh bishop got it on video, i wonder if hell put it in something.
but it was fun
then after he said i gotta stop filming, i was like ok, and man my legs were getting weak. it was so weird to be done with my portfolio. it was awesome. but it still hasnt hit me.
hopefully crafts is where ill end up. who knows though.
after that emily and chris and i moved chriss car, and emily went to sleep and chris and i went to schafer. it was good.
taylor was so so today.
after that i just messed on the compy for a while. i think chris named it sylvester or something else. i cant remember. i need a good name fo rmy computer. it never left my side last night.
then i had esposito for art history. if there ever wasnt more of a waste of an hour and 15 min...
the camp out last night seemed like it took less time than that class. i really want michael shaffer back, he was the man. michael if you ever read this, which is highly unlikely, i miss you, as do everyone else.
then i came home and ive been hangin all day. tomorrow im gonna go take pics in carytown all day.

everyone check out blonde redheads new album 23, and for a classic, listen to led zeppelin live at royal albert hall 1970. its the best concert of all time in my opinion. as far as rock as the genre. sean lennon will forever be emblazoned in my mind. and im seeing him again in a week!
this is brilliant. i think i might give him one of my teabowls. oh well im out for the night. my fingers lost their ability to type about 20 min ago.
