I finally finished getting my own blog online and am going to start posting over there. It still needs some polish, but it’s ready to be seen.

why i shouldnt be allowed to shop at the dollar store

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

so i originally  went to the dollar store to buy some black thread for a sewing project i am working on - and the dollar store - if you didnt know this already - is the best place to buy shit like this when you are on a budget like mine - its also a good place to buy cards, soda {or pop if you are canadian}, paper clips, nail polish and hair thingy’s - but then - the dollar store problem happens - what’s the dollar store problem you ask??  
the dollar store problem     yes my friends - this is what happens when i can afford to express my stupidity through clothing - which is why the kitschy things in dollar stores that i think are goddamn cute end up on my head - and have eyes - and are ridiculous - my mother loves the dollar store and i can’t help but feel a little bit like i have been socialized to also love it - one never wants to admit it - but there are truths that one must accept in life - and in alot of ways i am alot like geeg - we both dont wear makeup - wear sneakers and jeans everyday - crochet - think animals in clothes are cute - and yes - we both are suckers for the cute/stupid crap one finds in the dollar store - i suppose i could have bigger problems in life - like me and my mom could have obsessions with expensive watches, cocaine or allen thicke - that would be a real problem -  again with the dollar store

as diana said, some things have been changed to make it easier to comment. i also added the BuzzFeed widget. BuzzFeed is where i work. i sometimes have trouble explaining what i do, so i thought this might help illustrate. i don’t write the content, but i do write the code that decides which part of the content this widget shows. anyways, enjoy!
