The Caffeine Click Test - How Caffeinated Are You?
Created by OnePlusYou - Free Online Dating

Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] ithidrial, since, you know, I work in a coffee shop, I thought it was fitting.

For the record, I think I drank three coffees today, "coffee" meaning two shots plus milk and whatever in a 20oz cup. I definitely don't feel all that energized, though, let alone jittery. Probably since, you know, there's not much to do at work besides drink coffee, I must have become immune to caffeine all together or something.

I spent a whole lot of money today. And no, not on the house, like I really should be. Kitchen is just about perfect, except for the window and the door need to be replaced. All the appliances work, the cabinets are fine, the counter and the floor and everything are all new and beautiful. Bathroom is also completely perfect - it's small, so there's not much room in there, but it's a new toilet and a small vanity sink and a stand-up shower with a door, and there's a mirrored medicine cabinet, and some hooks for towels and stuff.

Next on the list is windows and ceiling fans/electrical stuff like outlets and whatever. Which I have not really done a thing about dealing with yet.

I don't have a whole lot of stuff. Clothes included. It's kind of pathetic. But, stuff has not really been a priority of mine in quite a while. I'm so bad at handling money, too, that it kind of freaks me out to spend any of it. I mean, I have money, but, like, I need it for the house, one, and two, it's all a loan anyway. I have to pay it back. But regardless, today I went to the boardwalk, which has semi-opened up for the summer, meaning open only on the weekends. It's Friday, which counts as a weekend it seems. All the stores are trying to clear out last summer's stuff, so everything was hugely on sale.

And I kind of... went to town a bit with the shopping. Of course, what I really need is to go to a mall, department store, a walmart or target or something, but, again the problem with my not being able to drive and there not being any public transportation around here. Yes, I could call a cab to come pick me up. But that's really, really expensive, just so I can go spend my money somewhere else too. But anyway. I bought some really, really cute clothes: two little sundress-type thingies, one that is blue and one that is orange, the blue one being like a blue and brown and beige paisley print and the orange one being like an orange check-type print. The blue one has a diagonal-type hemline and the orange one laces up the back - I don't really wear dresses but they're both spaghetti straps so I figure when it's really hot and I have no airconditioning I just might wear them. Or, I can always wear them over pants, being that I generally don't go around with my legs bare. They were eight dollars each.

I bought a pair of dark dark blue jeans with red stitching and they cuff on the bottoms about four inches. I really like the way they fit me. Flattering pants are seriously a challenge - prolly for every girl in existence. Also I bought some beige canvas pants that are drawstring - I like drawstring pants - that are nice and loose and have cargo pockets and stuff. And brown pants that are sort of similar to those. The jeans were really cheap, it was the beige pants that I splurged on - twenty five dollars!

I bought three really thin t-shirts with words on them, one is black, one is red, and one is blue. And I bought a red hoodie with a sunflower on the back of it. Then I came home and threw away my old hoodie because it suddenly disgusted me - really worn, holes in the sleeves, stains... yeah. Don't need to keep that, right? I've only had it since, oh, high school... I bought a tank top with wide straps and like a rhinestone detail on the front, and I bought a tank top with really thin straps that looks like a British flag, because it reminded me of Rose from Doctor Who :P And I think it will look really cute with the new jeans.

I bought a pair of sunglasses cause I've been wanting sunglasses for a while now. I bought a really long patchwork skirt because I thought it was pretty, although I have no idea where I would wear a skirt or why. But it is really pretty. I bought a shoulder bag with a long strap that's made of like tye-dyed material with embroidery and little mirrors on it and some cowrie shells hanging off it, and I bought an orange and brown hemp sweater, both of them from a kind of headshop place which is kinda funny. Oh I also got a necklace with wooden beads on it from that same store, and a necklace with turquoise-looking beads and cowrie shells.

I bought a belt made out of copper links with brown-ish stones in them - again, have no idea where I'd wear it or what it would go with, but I thought it was really pretty and since I was buying every-freakin-thing else that caught my eye - yeah.

I don't know what people my age do around here in the summer, if they ever even go to the beach, or what, or if they just work around the clock, because summer is the only time there is any work to be had - I feel like these people from work I've been hanging around are almost kind of sort of like my friends? I want to keep that up for the summer and, I don't know, I'm kind of also fixating on whether or not B thinks I'm attractive. Or anyone, for that matter.

And being that I don't see how I can be all that attractive in my work clothes - c'mon, polo shirt and khakis? And then my clothes are all old and scrubby looking, even my cute clothes are just old... yeah. I spent a lot of money today.

Amen sister! When I find a pair, I tend to wear them till they fall apart.

i can admit to briefly contemplating buying two pairs of the same... I like the way all my old jeans fit too, but I really, really wanted a pair that weren't frayed or coming apart in some way... which is what happens when you wear the good pairs over and over again...
