‽

Today I began to contract a depressive cabin fever from being in my house since about 6 p.m. friday, I think. So, roundabout 12 o'clock in the moring, afternoon or noon (because it might have been before or after 12, you see [or maybe{but more unlikelyly} at the stroke of 12]), I finished this sentence.  Now, this story is not incredibly interesting. I realize this so get ready for some VISUAL AIDS!!

First stop was Savers, which is to Goodwill what some other similar secondhand store with more interesting things is to Goodwill. I was hoping to find a hooded sweatshirt but there were none which had zippers . I looked at the ties for a second before I remembered I don't have a reason to ever wear a tie. I tried on some colorful shirts in a tiny claustrophobic dressing "room". It's a good thing the dressing room was in a large store so it didn't freak out!! HEYOH!!! This entry is officially a raging success! A raging hard success!

The shirts weren't cool enough for me so I ripped them off and wandered aimlessly, listening hiply to my portable music device which I don't usually like to do because I like to eavesdrop but I didn't really feel like acknowledging other people today. I saw this really cool painting. Let me try to describe it to you, please.

It was done in like a comic style? Where the colors between the lines were one color. If you can understand what I mean, here. Mabe it was watercolor. It was of a town with a, say, three story building with siding, a ridged roof, and the road with people doing whatever they were doing and such.  I thought about checking the price but I had some things in my hand. After I looked at some other paintings for a while I looked to my right and saw an empty space on the shelf. I had already forgotten what was there but I was filled with a sense of dread. I saw a sinister old lady with some paintings in her cart. She was wearing a pointed triangle hat and was also buying a broomstick. Her eyes were dead and her fingernails were also dead; dead as her dead hair and eyes. She was already walking down an aisle so I walked down the next aisle stealthily to catch her at the end. I looked in her cart and saw it and remembered that I was thinking of going back and forth on whether I should buy it. Well, seeing it in her cart caused me to realize instantly that I did want it. A lot! She also had a long nose with a wart on it and wanted to transform all the children of the world into mice by poisoning chocolate. I hope a house falls on her.
The painting kind of looked like this crappy painting, but much better and more hustle and bustle going on.


I did buy these two gems.

VROOOM!!


I don't know what kind of terrorist message this is sending in this one. It looked like a wrapper put into the frame. I just bought it for the frame, anyways.

These pictures are probably too big. Buy a bigger monitor, cheapskate. I don't want poor people reading this.

I decided that I would make it up to myself and show that old witch whore by buying something even grander at Goodwill. For those of you unfamiliar with Goodwill, it is akin to Neiman Marcus but requires an exclusive membership you can only acquire by reading this sentence to find out how to acquire it. For those of you who are familiar with it, I'm obviously lying.

The had bunch of nothing and I was about to walk out I saw a sign showing todays discounts. and behind it I saw treasure!

For those of you who can't read, the one on the left says "PRESIDENT" and the one on the right says "PAST PRESIDENT". Of what? YOU DECIDE! 
I am now taking applications for Past President. I, of course, will be wearing the president pin. If you are chosen I will need an address to send it to and you will be able to start reaping all the respect and rewards due to an OI, or possibly IO, Past President.

Please submit the following:
Name:
Full Name:
Last Name:
Region you would like to have your title applied to:
Why you think you deserve this prestigious title:
What you think OI, or IO, stands for (note: I just looked up the actual meaning to this and if you dare dispel the mystery surrounding this pin you will not only be disqualified, you will be hunted down using the address you foolishly provided and have TWO of your pins AND titles stolen from you in the dead of the night and donated to your local Goodwill):
Your current address:
How you plan to take advantage of your newfound status, if chosen:


I also bought this deal.

DIEU ET MON DROIT

For those of you who can't  read AND don't understand french, it translates to "God and my right", the motto which appears on the British Royal Crest. Basically what this means is the the wearer of this pin possesses the Divine Right to rule.
All of that is explained here, though you have to read between the lines a bit.

It's amazing. Only in America can you be feeling lousy in the morning and by the afternoon posses a Divine Right to be President of the OI.

Then, I went to a National Computer chain, a bookstore and cafe, and a center which sells musical instruments.

Please get your applications in before the deadline.
