you think it's tough now? come to africa
yesterday was a very important day in my life.

today i've consoled myself by going shopping. buying presents for my parents whose birthdays are both this week, only 2 days apart (a very expensive time for me, when i'm generous enough to actually buy presents. scratch generous, make that HAVE FUNDS.) anyways, in between all that i got a little something for myself. shopping always makes me feel better, but god i'm so awkward with sales assistants. i mean, i'm usually just like "i'm just browsing, OKAY!?!?!?" but when i do actually need help i never seem to get any decent actual help. it's usually very awkward. i don't know if this is 100% my doing, but gosh. anyway today i had a very helpful sales assistant when i was buying my parents some goodies, it wasn't awkward at all until she was wrapping the presents and then she had to urgently attend to some young fellaz who were checking out the perfume section. she got back to me and she was all "those boys are so naughty, one of them keeps you busy while the other ones rob us blind, but they get away with it! they always do!" and then we descended into an awkward conversation about how she used to live in south africa and you wouldn't be able to have a relaxing outdoor spa there because people would climb over the fence and kill you. WHAT THE HELL WAS I MEANT TO RESPOND TO THAT???? i just nodded and mentioned something about yugoslavia and the war. what a cop out.

ps. the new M.I.A. album is sooooo good. soooo good. yes, i'll say it again, sooo good. seriously my listens for this week are like M.I.A. 230932 everything else 0. oh apart from kate nash. i don't know. its one of those musical conundrums - like the person, not so much the music. WHAT DO I DO?????
