lesson #142: mod madness

Crazy about mod earrings now. Have bought three pairs within 2 days. But they're really cheap, averaging $4 each, so that's all right. I have huge dangly purple ones in oval shape, plus button earrings in pink polkadot, as well as dark pink hoops. Eh... how come they're all in shades of pink. Ah well. Will venture into lime green, yellow, as well as black and white next time! So fun! This new-found hobby's cheap as well... La la la. Can just go into any teenie accessories shop and buy in bulk. Button earrings surprisingly suit me well, so I'll be getting loads of buttons in the future! I can even make them myself! But I most probably won't. Out of pure laziness. Anyone wanna make button earrings together with me? There's motivation in numbers!


Went to Claire's [Desmond's (G's friend) cousin] birthday party yesterday. She's just turned 21. So G and I went shopping in town for her present yesterday. we got her a pair of super comfy heels from URS, but unfortunately they were the wrong size (we bought my size, 'cos we estimated her to be my size. Turns out she's 2 sizes larger. I am very tempted now to keep the present for myself, since they're my size and all. BUT. I shall not). Will have to go down again to exchange. The present boo-boo aside, the party was quite fun, I guess. As much fun as could be had with lots of little kids and extended families and different groups of friends. It's sweet how they all got together to celebrate. Personal highlight of the day would be when the Sheridane was unearthed. It's got to be the coolest drink ever. The bottle's so cute too. Basically tasted like Kahlua. Like Irish coffee. We played Drinking Goggles with it. The dance babes would remember this ridiculous yet fun game from our gathering last year.


The only thing that irked me was when birthday girl Claire intro'ed me to her mum as "G's girlfriend" before saying my name. It's as if I'm not my own person. It sort of stripped me of my independence. I don't wanna be known as just somebody's girlfriend. So yeah, that was kinda a not nice thing for me to hear. I know she doesn't mean anything by it, but it feels to me like I'm only being acknowledged as G's girlfriend, and I hate that.
