....

Just sat at home watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. It's alright for a film I've watched about fifteen times now, but the Weasleys really should have gotten a haircut - the medieval hairdos are ridiculous.
Me, Mum and Nana went into town today. Mum and Nana were getting their make-up done at Dior, so I went to Afflecks Palace in search of a new school bag (my old one has broken). I looked all over the place, feeling out of place among so many knee-high black witchy boots. I looked round the whole place, went to Thunder Egg and back. On my second round of Afflecks, I ended up spending around 20 minutes inside a shop full of Japanese things, panicking over which of the bags was a good choice as well as looking cool. I spent so long crouched in one corner that the woman behind the counter eventually stopped watching her J-drama to come over and ask if I wanted help. I'm really not good at talking to strangers, so I answered all her questions with 'hmm'. She went back to her J-drama after seeing I was a hopeless case, and I was left to ponder if the huge Totoro bag was really a good idea.
After about another ten minutes, the embarrassment was beginning to get too much - I generally make a habit of not staying in the same area of a shop for more than one minute so I don't look like a weirdo - so I picked a bag and shoved it anxiously at the shopkeeper. I was mortified beyond words when she said I could pick a free badge from the ones attatched to this cardboard thing she had on the counter. Yet more agonising picking. I decided on the first one that caught my eye, but with me being as daft as I am, it took me another five minutes to get it off. When I did, I nearly ran away screaming.
The bag is quite big, and red. It's got this weird brown rectangle guy called Domo-Kun (it says his name at the bottom) on it twice, but one of him is dressed as a pineapple. There's also a bonzai tree, a turnip (which I thought was a radish) and a couple of other things. I quite like it.
Ok, I'm going to go now - there's an Easter egg I'm just waiting to finish.
