Speculating

Let me tell you about my newest addiction: scrabulous

It's an awesome application on facebook that allows you to play scrabble with friends. You can play a quick game if you are both online at the same time and willing to dedicate your time to playing, or you can enjoy a relaxing slower game that will last days. This game has helped me so much with my vocabulary! I have learned so many new words just by playing them!

Back to business-

I saw a repeat offender the other day. The girl with the bad hair that I described back a few entries ago was this time wearing a bad outfit. I saw her in starbucks on Friday wearing a seriously fugly outfit. Again, I am not opposed to any of the actual items I see people wear (most of the time) but rather the way they think things match. This girl was wearing a dress skirt, black tights, black ankle boots, and a ratty old tshirt. Well, I might actually be opposed to the ratty old tshirt. Seriously though? Who does she think she's kidding? The bottom half of her looked fine! Cute shoes, cute skirt...but the shirt? Honestly? You couldn't find something nicer to wear? I mean her shirt looked like it belonged to man in the 1980's!

Also, I had an interesting experience today.

I went shopping! I decided to head out to Kohl's (since I have not been in ages) and the closest one is in Santee. After purchasing two shirts, a belt, and headbands (which I paid for and somehow didn't get in my bag - angry) I went to lunch. And since I was starving I stopped at the Wendy's just across the street. I had plenty of time so I went inside rather than running through the drive through. While enjoying my meal I noticed something. During the full thirty five minutes I was in the restaurant not one single person who was not caucasian came into the restaurant. To be honest, I was a little creeped out. I don't normally notice those types of things, but I found it very interesting. And I realized that if I were not caucasian I would probably feel very uncomfortable being in the restaurant. No real major "a-ha" moment or anything, but I found it to be very weird and uncomfortable.
