the pant rant
Aug. 21st, 2002 11:20 amfirst of all, every single person who reads my journal must go out and try Edy's Whole Fruit Sorbet. oh my GOD. it is so good, and because it's made with great big chunks of ever-loving fruit, it doesn't have nearly the calories etc that you'll get from ben & jerry's or whatever else your frozen-treat-of-choice may be. try the strawberry kind first, it's awesome. i also recommend the Edy's Whole Fruit Fruit Bars, which are almost the same as the sorbet except frozen on a stick. but the sorbet is creamier and smoother and all-around ymmuyer. GO GET SOME.
in other news, jorn and i celebrated our 2.5 year anniversary yesterday. we also got burger king for dinner, in celebration. yeah, i know, but i don't get paid till september 30. but we tried the new Burger King Love Shake, which was quite tasty. as advertised, it tasted much like chocolate-covered cherries. while we were eating our chicken nuggets, i started thinking about how lsat year at christmastime i was collecting all the Lord of teh Rings toys, and how fun that was, how we'd go every week to the burger king and each get a kids meal to see what toy we'd get, and how jorn went to the burger king secretly just to get me more toys and he came home with seven of them, and then how we waited in line at this one burger king off I-95 for like half an hour and then they didn't even HAVE the phuckin' toys. i miss those days. i wonder what they're going to come out with for Teh Two Towers.
also, confidential shout-outs to the WASSUP??!?! crew--we were thinking of you.
in other news, i'm having clothing issues. none of my pants fit. i would like to say that this is because i am a giant cow, but i know that's not true. it's because yes, i weigh a little more than i would like to, but a lot of that is muscle because i work out frequently, and this muscle makes my thighs bigger around than they used to be. also, i now have womanly curves that never existed when i was younger, ie, hips. so nothing fits the way it used to, because the vast majority of my jeans were purchased two or three years ago. my vintage jeans are so worn out now i can't even wear them anymore, my wonderful size-ten bell bottoms will never ever fit again, and even my jeans with the dragon material down the sides are too tight. the jeans that still fit now were way too big when i originally bought them, and now they all sport several patches in key locations.
the only "new" pants i've got are 1) big skatergrrl jeans from the thrift store, $8; 2) normal jeans with tapered ankles (ugh), also thrift store, $7; 3) a pair my mom got me from the walmart that doesn't even fit right, and 4) a pair of miracle khakis that my mom got on sale for $3.
a normal person would just go out and get some new pants, right? but i have no money. seriously, like $800 to my name, and i don't get paid till september 30, and rent is due next week. i can't afford to get jeans brand-new, because they'd cost like $30 or $40 or more. i heard that j.Lo's new line of jeans is perfect for women with real figures, but those would be even more expensive and there's no way i'd be able to afford that. and thrift store shopping for jeans is SO DEPRESSING, it's all just luck anyway. i have a kohl's gift certificate for $25 but i'm not sure if i should spend it on jeans (if i could even find any that would fit, which i doubt, i've tried there before) or brown shoes (which i'm also desperate for, and kohl's has teh cutest pair of brown sketchers you ever did see, and they're closed-toe for winter and would look equally cute with jeans (had i any) or khakis or a skirt, but they're $50).
and it's like this hideous cycle of misery, you know? i'm sick of wearing skirts and dresses, and i hate wearing shorts, and all my jeans look shitty. so i can't wear any of my nice tops with my shitty jeans because that wouldn't look right (jorn, i know it doesn't make sense, but the girls reading this will understand). so i feel like i look shitty, and i blame it on money. then i'm still more miserable about being poor, which i was miserable about in the first place because i have to put serious thought into just ordering a fucking pizza. the whole thing just makes me so sad. i just want one pair of goddamn decent bell bottom jeans, which i can't even find because the fashion industry caters to sticks, and which i couldn't even buy if i did find them.
barring a pair of good jeans, it would be nice to have a roomy denim skirt that was very long down to my feet and had lots of pockets, but apparently they don't make these anymore.
fuck the fashion people, fuck them anally in their collective size-six asses.
so does anyone have suggestions for me? ie, stores to shop in that might not be too expensive? websites with good coupons? we do have a mall here, but mostly all i do in the mall is walk around with great big eyes looking at all the nice things you can get if you have money. and a perfect size-six ass, of course. help?
