Still, despite a rocky start involving getting up obscenely early, walking a mile long climb to get somewhere where I wasted my precious morning time, I had a pretty good day today. Filled with mood boosters.
I got to stare at a friend's engagement ring! =O Me and a couple of friends did girly ooooh-ing and aaawww-ing and "Shiny!" and "Pretty!" exclamations several times. I've known her for 4 years and OMG she's getting MARRIED! It's still so weird to think of friends of mine getting married. I'm a grown up! WTF?? =P
Still, we discussed some ideas about organizing her bachelorette party. She was horrified at some of them, but in a really good, positive way, I think. It just might be a girls night out to remember (which I have absolutely no idea when will come to pass).
Later, a great friend of mine (one of the oooh-ing and awww-ing girls) asked me to hang out and window shop in the afternoon and how could I refuse? We spent a few hours proving that unplanned things just go THAT much better. We were carelessly singing along to Frank Sinatra in her car, being sometimes loud and always very, very off-key. We ran away from annoying insurance-selling people (at least I think it was insurance) and we weren't the least bit discreet about it. We read children's books (the ones with big pictures and little boxes to open) and saw a children's tv-show on display at Fnac. My friend was in quite a randy mood! Thank goodness we stayed away from the big Josh Halloway poster in one of the perfume shop!! Instead we had time to dwell on Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Henry Cavill and, especially, Clive Owen. We walked around talking about his good looks. Then we saw a big white and purple mechanical moving cow (part of an advertisement for a brand of chocolate) and talked about chocolate-covered Clive Own. Then we went reckless and wild and had some ice-cream, and talked about caramel-covered Clive Owen. And manly, beastly Clive Owen all the way home. So yeah, we were fantasizing just a tiny wee bit. I bet she's watching Sin City or Gosford Park right now. XD
All in all, I'm still feeling giddy and giggly from today's activities and am feeling good about it. That's always a good thing, right? Off to bed with me now, to watch the L*Word. =P



Happy Birthday
