A Conversation with My Inner Voice

Me: Ooohh, look! DKNY T-straps!

Me: You're supposed to be Christmas shopping, Cammy. What are you even doing looking on ebay at shoes in your size?

Me: They're so pretty! They're the perfect heel height for me!

Me: No really, you've got responsibilities. Do me a favor and CLOSE YOUR FUCKING BROWSER.

Me: No one has placed a bid yet! And the auction ends in an hour!

Me: DO NOT CLICK THE BID BUTTON DO NOT --

Me: Oops, I clicked by accident, I swear.

Me: For God's sake. Why do I even try.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA! I love the tone of resigned disgust in the final bit of dialogue. What a trial you are to yourself! Then again, though, t-straps! How could you do otherwise?

P.S. I want you and [livejournal.com profile] amelia_eve to get over here RIGHT NOW and make Christmas lollipops with me.

*buys ticket on next flight out*

Are you going to make them, for true? Because I demand pictures, if you make them.

I would if I had enough fans of peppermint in my family, because it's awfully messy and time-consuming just for the novelty of it. I made lollipops once before at a friend's house in the 8th grade. Never have I received such a dressing down from someone else's parent before. I don't think we were allowed back in the kitchen for months, but it was almost worth it. :)

If we lived next door, I'd invite you over to my house and we could spend an afternoon making a mess in my kitchen. I bet it would be a blast, even if we ended up throwing out the results.

My childhood BFF and I used to play around in our kitchens all the time! I think the thing we got in the most trouble for was in middle school: we made ordinary brownies, and then rolled them into turd shapes and left them on a plate on the counter. Can you believe we got in trouble for that? Whatever, man.

I always wait forever to look at my Gourmets, so it wasn't til last night that I realized I had the issue you were talking about sitting in my desk tray. Those lollipops are spectacular, aren't they? They were the prettiest, but those caramel puff-pastry cookies were the things I was most tempted to make.

I know, right? Ever since I saw the shoes in the tango pictures I linked to a while back, I've longed for a pair of t-straps.

[identity profile] coco-palmolive.livejournal.com 2007-12-07 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Did you win them? Pics, please!

[identity profile] coco-palmolive.livejournal.com 2007-12-07 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, those are so ridiculously you that it was foolish to even try to resist.

[identity profile] tofty.livejournal.com 2007-12-07 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad you see that the coming together of me and these shoes was inevitable. Even fated.

Why resist?

[identity profile] tofty.livejournal.com 2007-12-07 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that was what I decided in the end. I mean, $20.00 is not going to cause me to default on my mortgage. RIGHT?

[identity profile] tofty.livejournal.com 2007-12-07 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
Hell yeah! I'd do a little punk-rock anarchy dance, but I think people who purchase DKNY t-straps are required by law to give up all claims to edginess.

I did pretty much exactly the same thing only a few days ago, and ended up with a pair of pale pink cowboy boots. :|

[identity profile] tofty.livejournal.com 2007-12-07 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Woohoo for poor impulse control!

Also, I kind of want to see a picture of those boots. Or did you post one and I missed it somehow?

[identity profile] friendly.livejournal.com 2007-12-07 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Lmfao, I haven't posted a picture anywhere. I honestly still can't decide how I feel about them (http://i3.ebayimg.com/05/i/000/c5/cf/cf89_1.JPG). :|

[identity profile] tofty.livejournal.com 2007-12-07 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
hahahahaha! I think they're adorable! But yeah, that's the sort of thing I'd have to work myself up to wearing. :?

[identity profile] trickpie.livejournal.com 2008-01-02 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I thought you should know, I've got them now and they are actually incredible (http://photos-a.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v167/223/74/534620453/n534620453_1946564_2223.jpg). How are yours!!!

[identity profile] tofty.livejournal.com 2008-01-14 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! I missed this comment! I love mine too, and I need to wear them more, maybe dress up for work a little sometimes, but really they make me happy just looking at them.

[identity profile] lindyhoppr.livejournal.com 2007-12-08 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, please tell me that you weren't actually considering neglecting to buy a present for yourself, were you? I mean, that's like forgetting your mom, or something.

[identity profile] tofty.livejournal.com 2007-12-08 12:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I wised up in the end, though! :D

I'm reading the book "Love Walked In", and the main character reminds me of you. At least, she talks the way you write.

[identity profile] tofty.livejournal.com 2007-12-10 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm, I'm kind of anxious to read the book now! :D
