to distract myself from the stress of this popularity contest i went out and blew a lot of money but not on myself, for once. fil’s birthday is dec. 17 and then right around the corner is christmas so i have to plan ahead and buy two huge presents i’m thinking of dumping him on december 16 and then getting back together after christmas haha i knew/know someone who does this except breaks up with his girlfriend before the weekend so he can fuck around and then reconciles on monday GENIUS. yeah that’s pretty shady but how dumb and passive does a lady gotta be to give in to something like that? i dunno.

i bought those LED lights that don’t waste as much electricity as the regular xmas lights do because i am captain planet, apparently. i wanted to get those red blue purple amber multi-coloured packs but they’re all gone everywhere so i bought red instead i dunno if we are even allowed to have lights on our balcony and cos lights are seasonal if i want to return them i get credit only SO if it turns out no lights allowed mom your kris kringle christmas present will be a home hardware gift certificate and that’s what you get for rigging the kris kringle ballots like last year.

zing.

one of the dudes at home hardware was telling me about the government giving $5 off LED xmas lights and it just ended yesterday or something and then he went on and on about other stuff and i was tuning him out, not on purpose i’m just really tired from the eaton centre and shopping and so he finished talking and i go OH OH YEAH EH LIKE A SCAM? i was sort of listening and decided for some reason he was talking about something scammish then his face turned into a question mark and he fussed over this dog that walked in because clearly i am a simpleton and i let him prattle on like i was a retard about icicle lites and regular stranded lites and didn’t feel like saying UH DUH I KNOW THIS I WORKED AT A HOME HARDWARE FOR 5 YEARS sometimes it’s easier to play dumb i could tell everyone had the about to be closing mania and i didn’t want to be stuck chatting up forevs.

i rented beerfest and accepted and if i win best blog i will review them tomorrow during my champagne and schnapp’s hangover so if you know what’s good for you i would vote as much as possible before the nite is through.

tomorrow i will let fil be the man and wrap the xmas lites on the railing it’s funny how he is in 100% denial of my potential ability of doing DIY projects even though i rescreened the bedroom window all by myself so his reward for being a sexist dick is standing in the cold, hungover and crabby while i ignore him completely from indoors.
