I maded a something :D

I think my brain is numb. I don't even know. I did get into a crafty mood though and make a pretty thing. :) Its mostly words, but words are what I'm best at. Not that you could tell from here, but trust me, my visual art skills are worse than my literary art skills. I'm not an art person, AT ALL.

Today I was finally trusted with the key, freaking thanks. I have to live here over a year and get locked out however many times before I'm finally trusted with the key.  Geee thanks guys. And its not like I'm ten or anything, just remember that, please? Its much better to do homework on a couch or even on carpet than in a stone stairwell. Especially in northern Europe in Winter. It sucks. 


Now, today I had to go do part of the shopping for this outdoor ed trip I'm taking early next month. I needed noncotton pants because when you're out in thick snow, the worst thing to wear is cotton. It gets wet, stays wet, gets cold, and lowers your body temperature. I am a short bitty girl, (read: Little white chick)  so finding pants that are short enough for me in the legs and yet still give me enough room for my thighs is hard.  (I run and used to ride horses so I'm kinda big around the thighs.)  I was walking around the store and we were looking for pants for my brother. I turn and see some pants that look to be about my length. I pick them up and start looking. I get an idea. I went and tried them on, turns out they were actually too big! So I went a size down and BAM. Got the pants for my trip. They were identical to the womens, only twenty dollars less, didn't have a giant butt that I can't fill, fit my legs, and it made me realize that I can fit almost all the little boys clothes in that size.  It has made things so much easier now.  I can finally buy clothes that are actually clothes.  The girls clothes here are all so, fashiony? Faddish?  Well they aren't sensible clothes for sure.  Half of the things I can't figure out to wear.  Another portion I won't wear because I am not a 'ghetto queen' or 'shawty' or 'bootylicious'.  Get the idea of what I'm working with?  There is like one-fifth of the actual marketed items here that I'll buy. When that is out of only a hundred or so choices, things aren't looking so hot.

Lesson for today, keep your mind open and explore all your choices.  The most surprising one will turn out to fit you just right. ;)
