So as I said in the earlier post, I went to our friendly neighborhood bakery to go and pick out my cake. After looking at so many cakes, I was mighty hungry. (We didn't get to try out any samples, but then again, I didn't even think to ask!)
So I was looking at the baked goods they had for sale, and DAMN, they looked good. Fatima was with me, and at first she was telling me not to buy anything. But as soon as I pointed out the tiramisu cake, she sang a different song. We ended up leaving with a slice of tiramisu, a slice of gan misu (like tiramisu, but with nuts and in a roll), chocolate covered cheesecake, and a fruit tart. Of course, this wasn't all for me. My cousin David is in town and I know he's got a sweet tooth.
So we tried the tiramisu, and it was HEAVENLY. Damn. Gotta stop by that place more often!
After that, I brought Fata to Archivers, wanting to show her what a magical place it was. And she thought it was 'ok'.
"Ohh! A rotary cutter! Isn't this cool?"
"Yeah. That's nice."
"Look at all the different kinds of paper!"
"Uh, it's just paper..."
"Pens! Glitter pens! Gel pens! Calligraphy pens!"
"Don't you have a lot of pens already?"
"Look at all the pretty albums!"
"Have you even MADE a memory book yet?"
"Embossing! You can emboss your own paper!"
"That looks pretty. You know what? It smells in here."
Ahhh...the perfect person to take with me shopping. I went in there thinking I'd buy a lot, but after Fata's comments gave me a reality check, I left with just 2 periwinkle glitter pens.
Note to self - do NOT take Fata comic book shopping. Our next stop was a comic book store. I'm still trying to get all the missing books I need. And I just about bought half of the store.
"Ohh, the Ultimate Daredevil Elektra trade paperback. Should I get it?"
"It's your money, do what you want with it"
"OK!"
"Do you think we should get the back issues of X-Men Unlimited?"
"It's your money..."
Yes. I love Fata code for "Yes, I want it. Get it!"

i'm not really one for shopping. because that would imply that one has money.
and seeing how i'm a broke-ass university student with about a year left to go, unless through some miraculous act of divine intervention, this means that i'm going to remain at said broke-ass status for at least the next year. . .
and that is why god made credit cards. . .lol.
