I like the way you walk....

Ever noticed that the way you walk is sometimes determined on what you are wearing. Tonight, for example, I am wearing a skirt, t-shirt and cardi with Converses. After arriving home with Mum from a movie (Julie & Julia) I skipped merrily down the drive way and burst in the door. Last night, I went to go see a play (I’m sad to say, High School Musical 2, my friend was in it, don’t be too harsh) and over-dressed a little. I wore a cute little dress with high-heeled boots and very funky tights and a coat and I sort of, strutted down the drive way, feeling very cool and sophisticated.

I am a little on the short side and whenever I wear heels, I just sort of feel… special? I’m not sure but, maybe a little more important, a little cooler. Like I could be admired.

Make-up used to feel the same way. And then I got really bad acne and it just became a way to feel normal. Or semi-beautiful instead of spotty and pus. Because sometimes it becomes hard to tell yourself that everyone gets pimples because all around you there are ads and magazines showing you that, no, people don’t get pimples. At least not people worth noticing. So , therefore you are not worth noticing. Even the cool people at school don’t have acne. Maybe its just because they are all on the pill so the don’t get pregnant from sleeping around with one another.

Julie & Julia was good. My mum, friend and friend’s mum really enjoyed it (thank you CineAds, we really enjoyed the free tickets. Q: Why didn’t we get free booze and a name tag like everyone else? Goddamnit I love name tags!) I’m not sure if I enjoyed it; I think that Julie reminded me to much of myself. And since everyone was calling her a self-centred narcissistic bitch, it’s not a god thing. Also, the happiness portrayed between her and her husband, Eric, was marred for me because I was looking it up online and her second novel was about how she cheated on him with a butcher.

Apparently, I am a literary genius, as is my little sister, who is twelve. And all because I wrote a poem for her before I took her into town and took her to see a movie. I have been feeloing clever today though. Spotted a lot of mundane things that I am not going to bother explaining. You really want to know… okay then.

1. Grace, at my mum’s work, just announced she is pregnant. She is already showing at 10 weeks. My suggestion, she has already been pregnant.
2. At the movie. Emily asks ‘why the name tags?’. I reply ‘so the servers know who gets free wine and canapés’.

And there was something else that I just can’t remember. Oh.

Emily: ‘How much do you think the drinks will be?’

Me: ‘More than three dollars.’

Emily: ‘Why?’

Me: ‘Because they offer them as a special deal for three dollars so obviously they are more. I say four.’

Guess how much? $4.

And that was my very interesting day today. Hope you enjoyed.
