I’m pretty sure I deserve the gold medal for my shopping adventures on Wednesday. Going to the mall is already a hassle, but dealing with rude and foreign salespeople is an even greater challenge.

Edit: I just wanted to address the comment calling me a “racist” for using the word “foreign” in regard to the salesperson. If you actually knew me personally, and not just as the text you read on a computer screen, then you’d know that I’m not racist at all. There are too different salespeople I am referring to in this blog entry — one that could not speak English and one that was downright rude to me and my parents. I’m a very tolerant person, but it’s irritating when I can’t understand the lady who is helping me pick out a suit. If English is such a challenge, maybe a job in sales is not the right job for that person. Clearly that’s just my opinion, and you’re allowed to disagree. But come on, I’m making a ton of sense here, so why would you?

I picked up my homecoming suit for the dance this Saturday, and I’m amazed by it. If I could wear a suit every day and not freak people out, I definitely would. While I was at the mall, I dodged the rude Apple people and picked up my new iPod.

The universe feels balanced again.

Shifting topics to something random that has been on my mind for a few days. Note that I was 12 years old during the 2000 election between George W. Bush and Al Gore, so forgive me if I don’t know exactly how this works. Having said that, I’m curious about the amount of time that people are supposed to leave up their election bumper stickers. It’s been nearly a year, and we all know the outcome by now. Leaving your bumper sticker up, for whatever reason, isn’t going to change anything. All it takes is a little Goo Gone, and that sticker can be off in no time. It’s a mere $6.99… what’s the hold up?

Expect a new blog entry on Sunday. My homecoming dance is Saturday night, and I’m pretty sure I’ll have tons of pictures to share with you guys.

I seriously wish we had homecoming here. It’d be so fun.

Ahhh. My brother bought the same iPod. I need to get me one. :/

are people for real calling you a racist…oh come on.

lol. comment arguing. I love it.

Luke, if he said “that dumb sand-nigger was so rude to me” that statement will classify as racist. Foreign can mean any number of races, even the “white” races, which i’m sure you know he is white.

There is this polish girl at my job, who is infact a sales person. I can’t understand a word she fucking says because her accent is so heavy. And yes, she annoys the shit out of me. However, i’m also polish..so what? She came off the boat, I was born in America. Is it my fault she’s completely incoherant? No.

I doubt he meant that just because theyre foreign, they’re rude, stupid etc. You could be the same race as them, and they can still be foreign to you.

It’s now Tuesday.

there’s no reason to racially classify someone because they did something wrong. not even if it’s something right, because they’re the same just a different race or from a different place. what’s the need to include their race while saying their rude? it’s like classifying all foregin people as rude. so yeah, racist.

but then maybe that person desperate needed that job to survive.

Saying “foreign” doesn’t seem racist at all.
Now if you said THE BRITISH BITCH….then it’ll be a completely different story.
People are just too sensitive nowadays and take a few joking words too seriously.
When I’m referring to a white individual I say #FFFFFF person.
Does that make me racist? No.
I’m just using a witty way to refer to a certain race.
To me personally, if you use the word, it doesn’t make you discriminative.
but if you’re CALLING someone that, in defense towards an argument or etc…..
that’s pushing the limits.

Don’t make the anoynomous (sp) commeter get under your skin.

i’ve used goo gone at work before (for price stickers). doesn’t really work too well, but maybe the company was cheap and the bottle was five years old or something. i know goo gone is not your point, but anyway… heh.

have fun at your homecoming. i never did enjoy mine.

What a cute new iPod! The boyfriend and I are going to settle for Shuffles, as we’ve rent to pay and not enough hits to the site to charge for advertising. Plus, we’re only barely allowed to have them at work, so it’s no big deal to not have them at all and we’ve no need to have the ones that can play for hours continuously.

I know what you mean about the mall. *sigh* Not looking forward to the ol’ Christmas shopping, especially now that I have a whole new family to shop for (The boyfriend’s, since we’re serious).

How about some hot homecoming pics, eh? LOL.

*Drool* The new iPod. *heart* The black one, eh? I’m not sure which I’ll get when I eventually do. Goo Gone is the shit. *heartheart*

“and foreign salespeople”
RACIST.
they cant help that their foreign.
you can be SO ignorant sometimes.

Thats so cool that you got the black nano. That is the one that I really want. I have homecoming this Saturday also. Party hard!

HOT DAMN! Only $6.99 for A WHOLE (!!) 32oz. of Goo Gone! When that stuff first came out I got one of those little ass bottles for about the same price.

Ohh yea — Homecoming. I’ve been to a total of 7 homecomings (Florida [3], New York [2], New Jersey [1], and California (L.A.) [1]) and they were all amazing. I don’t know how that really fits into anything going on with you (besides that fact that you will soon be attending one) but I felt the need to “say” it.

That’s it, since I think my food is now burning from me leaving it unattended on the stove for such a long period of time.

Looks like you got the video Ipod. Good choice It looks beautiful!

Have a radical time at Homecoming! I’m sure you look stunning in the suit!

I’ve seen bumper stickers from when Clinton was running, though horribly faded, cracked and pealing.

Is that the video ipod you got?

I’m not an iPod lover, but that is one sweeeet iPod! Congrats on that!
I hope you have tons of fun at your homecoming! And in reference to your previous post, congrats on the awesome grades.

Wow, I love the ipod! Couldn’t you just get one for christmas? Anyway, I wish you goodluck in the homecoming dance!
