buffalo exchange

wow guess what i spotted at buffalo yesterday-

a dries van noten sweater. yes, it was severely faded and looked like a piece of rag but it was dries van noten nevertheless. 

i love finding higher end stuff at second-hand/thrift stores. i haven't been to many besides buffalo but the buffalo exchange in fullerton is pretty good. last year i found a $100 dim mak sweater that i've been wanting for around $15. later last year, i found a pair of purple siguerson morrison's for $18 which was retailing at $120 at the time. i don't understand why people give up the things that they do, but i'm not complaining. 

thanks to all the rich people for donating their shit. 
i didn't end up buying the dries van noten sweater bc it was too old though.

lesson learned.

it's weird how i keep making the same mistakes.
i just feel like i ask too many questions, so this time i decided to handle something on my own (i thought it was a fairly simple problem) and then i got burrrned. metaphorically.

all i had to do was call her and let her know what was going on. there was a simple dilemma when i was ordering something for her and something wasn't specified- the other party asked me to send them more information about a certain property and i did.

this whole time, she was out of the office and when i called her at the end to update her, she said why didn't you ask me? why did you send something without my permission?

all the other times she scolded me, i didn't feel too bad because i felt that she was blaming me for something that was inevitable. THIS time, i knew what i was doing but i thought she would thank me for it because there was no other way to get around the problem. BUT there was. and she knew it right away- she explained to me that she gets the assignments that she gets because of her experience- and then i felt really really bad.

ugh. i don't know what i'm going to do when i see her tomorrow morning. i'm so scared.

at least now i know, don't do ANYTHING without asking. especially when you're working FOR someone- you're doing things on their behalf so you better do what they want you to do.

i hate the real world.

theme of death

so a couple days ago i was really bored so i spent a lot of time on youtube. i like to watch a lot of dance videos especially so i was watching a bunch. then i found a song to a dance that had a good beat: "i just died" by amerie. so i downloaded it. 

after a while, i decided to check out videos of people who are blowing O's because i wanted to learn how (teehee) and this one guy was smoking to the lil wayne's "i feel like dying." it was strangely catchy and i had to look more into it. so i youtubed the song. from reading the descriptions of some of the results, i found out that it was inspired by another song about really depressing stuff and feeling like dying. i also found out that if you play it backwards, it has a creepy message. i wasn't about to click on it to hear it because i knew it was going to freak me out. then i googled it and i still couldn't find a website that explained it in depth. hmm, what a waste of time.

this was all around 12'o clock at night. then i heard a howl that i never heard before. i sleep right next to a window and i hear dogs barking all the time but this howl was really weird. it sounded like a cross between a strong wind seeping through the crack of my window and a child crying out in pain at a high pitch. 

i was scared out of my mind. i was sweating cold sweat. i really wanted to just shout for my mom. and then i started thinking about all the 'death' stuff i had encountered that day. gahhhd. i had to listen to my ipod really loud until i fell asleep. 

i should find better stuff to do on my downtime...
