outraged

did you ever notice how many little things you depend on everyday? i didn't until i lost it all. im talking about basic necessities people. what it's like to get out of the shower and not have a Q-tip. Or looking in the mirror and seeing your dry, cracking face because you don't have your moisturizer. Realizing you don't have a razor? or deodorant? Hair clips? Foundation? Batteries? CLOTHES. I've slowly gained the necessities like deodorant (thank God!) and the Q-tips which OCD people like me need everytime we step out of the shower.

Today, my caretaker gladly brought me to the pharmacy where i had a $50 giftcard.. yeah not anymore. I walked into CVS and first decided i needed a carriage, NOT a basket. why? I'm not really sure. (i guess for some reason i thought $50 would buy me the store)...
So I immediately went to the first isle to get lotion and foundation because they are current necessities for a girl like me. Of COURSE there would be a guy cleaning out the whole fricken shelf, and me standing there not knowing which damn lotion would leave me face smooth like a baby's bottom. This was our conversation:
clerk: "hi, are you looking for something?"
me: "no. well yes. ummm..."
clerk: "-you're just browsing"
me: "yeah. im all set"
lady (who appears out of nowhere): "tell him what you want Joanne"
Joanne (im guessing,-btw these are old people so you can immitate their voices): "where's the Gold Bond Foot Cream. My feet are dry and cracked. You sell that stuff here?"
clerk (with forced polite tone): "yes ma'am, there's some right here"
Joanne's friend (in loud enough tone we all can here): tell him you need the pump one."
Joanne: "I do. I have very dry skin."

I went back at the end of my trip to find lotion.


Basically, I bought maybe 8 items ranging from batteries to razors, and my total was $57. Obama better do something about the economy. I'm not paying $8 on a regular basis for femine supplies.



Also, I had my history exam today and we had to write dos essays...and well i may or may not have slipped in the word "fantastical" once or twice.

Also Also, what kind of cat name is GUS? it means testicles. in case YOU didn't know.
I mean sure it's what most gas station attendants seem to have plastered to their name tag, but a cat? "Come here testicles, time to eat!"

Also Also Also, i just would like to put it out there that i hate when people don't answer my questions. It's very obnoxious and I take it very personally.

What?!?!?!?! Please tell me where you heard that "gus" means "testicles". I have never heard that. Ever. In fact, I just googled "does Gus mean testicles" and I got nothing... (well except for Google asking me if I meant "does GAS mean resticles") So, I stand by my name. I like the name Gus the Cat. :)
