Regular blog updates will resume when I jump this hurdle.
Cheerio, Nathan
koooooooh.
February 4, 2008Nathan has come to a conclusion about his life, and that’s that he feels very awkward in retail establishments.
I’m not even joking. I have no problems with making small talk or conversing with anyone, except with the people who get paid to help me with my problems. (That sounded weird. I don’t have a psychiatrist or anything. This blog does that for me.)
But this weekend, I experienced this a few times. EXAMPLE ONE: Friday, I embarked with my mom on an adventure/badenture/et cetera to buy pants, and nothing else. (As it turns out, I successfully bought four pairs for $60 total. I am a bargain hunter upon the ranks of the almost-hardcore.) After this, I said to myself, “Hey, Nathan, why not go to Hot Topic for kicks?”
Little did I know how much I would regret this decision.
You see, Hot Topic and I have a very…rocky relationship. Occasionally, there’s something cool in there, but more often than not it is nothing but silly commercialism disguised as rebellion sold to gullible teens who don’t know better. They do, however, have nice band shirts sometimes.
I bought stickers. (For 2.99. Ridiculous, but cartoon food with faces are pretty much my one and only weakness. That’s beside the point, though. I ran into my ultimate archrival: Green Floppy Mohawk Girl. I have been kicked out of Hot Topic by her at least once, perhaps twice, for holding a camera and muttering strange things under my breath. Her hair is, in fact, a green floppy mohawk. There’s no better way to describe it.
Nathan, at this point, attempts to look inconspicous. This is nigh-impossible in Hot Topic, because to look as if you fit in, you have to be pasty white (which I am) and a mallgoth (which I am not). So she found me.
MOHAWK GIRL: Do I know you? ._.
Nathan: ::devolves into a blabbering mess:: Hafvoiphaskdaspvjopsdv….noo? D:
MOHAWK GIRL: Okay I guess.
That was, in fact, the only defense I could muster up.
I shed a tear for this. I lost to the Green Floppy Mohawk Girl.
I’m pretty sure I’ll find a way to get the better of her next time.
(Of course, I’ll buy another overpriced sticker and add to her commission, anyway. Ick.)
Anywho, I’m going to go back to ferocious English homework now.
Cheers, Nathan
