Day 98

Black Friday. The mega retail rampage. And for the first time in a long time,the day I slept in.

I awoke first, just in time to say goodbye to my uncle, who was heading to work. From there I goofed around on my tablet, watched some youtube videos, played spider solitaire, and waited for Cameron to wake up. From there, we went to Franklin Park Mall, a giant mall in Toledo, OH that was still an active hive for hungry shoppers. We went into several stores, but I just wasn't finding anything that was me. Don't get me wrong, the deals were great.... heck, I tried on a $50 jacket for $15 and a $15 sweater at H&M, but it wasn't me. I don't know if I've grown out of it, if I have a new style, I don't know exactly.... but I couldn't do it. Last year, I'd be wearing it right now as I type, but different stores had my sights. Banana Republic, J Crew, and Gap were some. I ended up leaving the mall with nothing....

Cameron and I met up with my aunt, my mother, and grandma, and the five us ate lunch at Applebees, which is still what you would expect at Applebees. After lunch, Cameron and I got in my car and set off for home. The first part of the trip flew by, and then around 5 ish, we landed at Tanger Outlets, where I could get a 2nd chance to hit the stores I was unusually attracted to (except J Crew, I love that store). I found my blue oxford. Our friends at Gap can get the credit for that. Fit's great, looks great, and feels great. Cheaper than J Crew, so I bought it. Left Tanger with a very big smile as well as a very big vitamin water. An hour and a half later, we arrived back into the hometown. As I was bringing Cameron home, another deer, who clearly must have seen my 2nd comic I posted on here, struck back again. As I was literally saying to my cousin "well, there are no deer out here...." the mother of Bambi lept in front of me as I screamed a not so nice word and hit a not so nice animal. At this point I was mad. Is God trying to kill me? Do deer have it in for me? Are hunters failing? New hunting rule. If it has 4 legs, shoot it. My car can't take it anymore.

Dropped Cameron off, then went to Chad's where I got to see my friends plus Jordan, who was back from Texas. We spent a good portion of the night there, watching Star Wars on T.V. and playing battle of the sexes. After Chad's I went back to Jordan's where her and I got to catch up, and just talk about life.... until 3:00AM. Jordan's a great friend..... I have high respect for her. Yet, I feel disconnected....again... another person. The talk made me realize a lot about myself. This world has so much evil..... and it's.... well.... actually.. I'll save this for the next blog. It won't make sense until I act upon what I have learned. Part II will be on Saturday's.
