hm, right, posting photostories. *totally forgot* ....*forgets everything except the things that would be better forgotten forever*

tired of people not reading what I write when it comes to service requests and the like. massive inability to read back through an email with all previous emails quoted if a company rep can't remember what he/she said 24 hours ago. or read what I wrote at all. *is becoming redundant now* they're killing my braaaain... what's left of it

Well besides something on *cough* DoA... I got a crap item from an Amazon.com third party vendor. Not new, or at least, couldn't be proven new since it wasn't in original packaging, just a plastic case they obviously stuck it in. XBox 360 memory card, and it hardly ever worked and kept losing saved game data. I wanted it for backup, I can replace a game or even a 360 hard drive a lot more easily than say, 200+ hours of Skyrim work.

Sooo long story short, I emailed the seller, it was decided that a return and full refund was best (they never did admit to the card being used or at least not brand spanking new), and they asked me to send it first class mail. I asked them for their address, as I had already told them I no longer had the mailer envelope they'd mailed the card in. Their reply responded to one other thing I said and didn't include an address. Asked for it AGAIN. Finally got the address. Mailed it and told them I'd mailed it and they asked me if there was a tracking number. It's FIRST CLASS MAIL! Like they asked me! *grumbles* So no, duh, and I did finally get my refund (waiting for it to process from Amazon to my bank now) but gooood godddds...... x_x

Gonna leave them some very unimpressed feedback once the money is in my account. -.- And yes, all they had to do was look through the trail of replies quoted in every single email that went back and forth between us to see what I/they had said. >_<

Laaaame.


Well, while my first interview went well, and I have another one with them tomorrow, I had an otherwise lousy day. My second interview of the day went....meh. I doubt I've got a shot with that one. From there, I realized I did a stupid and only had half a bowl of cereal this morning at 9:30, so by the time my second interview was done, at 2:00, I was in full-blown low blood sugar attack. Shaking, cold sweats, weak knees, blurry vision, the works. I didn't bring any money with me to get lunch, like an idiot. So I'm rushing home before I get to the kissing pavement stage, as it's really dangerous to be driving when my blood sugar gets that bad. I didn't even bring sugar pills. WTF was I thinking...? Long story short, I make it home and scarf down some food.

Then, I had to go ask my fiance for money, which I HATE doing, because I needed to get a pair of pants to wear for my next interview, and I don't get paid til tomorrow night. Then, onward to Burlington Coat Factory to get some slacks. Which is another thing I hate. I'm 5'3" and weigh about 220lbs. I'm overweight, I know, but I'm not morbidly obese. I should be about 170lbs for my build, according to the doctor. But nothing makes me feel more like a fat, ugly heifer than going to shop for pants, and finding nothing larger than size 14 on the racks, when I wear an 18. I fit a 16, but they're a little snug, and for delicate fabrics like the stuff dress slacks are made of, I prefer a little more room. Last thing I need is to bend over and hear a mortifying riiiiiip. So I tip-toe over to the plus size section, manage to find an 18, and sneak over to the dressing room, where of course, there are some Skinny Minis trying on little black dresses and swimwear. And then the cashier was also thin. By the time I left, I was ready to cry.

The really lousy part? Just earlier that day, when I gave myself a once-over in the rearview, I thought "Gee, I look pretty today."

In my head, I know the average American woman is between a size 12 and 16, and that clothing retailers are notorious for catering to smaller women. My close friend is roughly the same build and size as I am, and I think she's gorgeously curvy. I look at side-by-sides of "runway" models, with plus size models, and invariably, I think the plus size girls look healthier, prettier, and generally happier. My eye is drawn to their softer curves, and I'm straight. I don't want to look like a runway model, all bones and straight lines. But even knowing all this, even knowing I normally feel pretty comfortable in my own skin, nothing quite kicks me in my self-esteem like clothes shopping.

And this is why my dolls have a full wardrobe and I have like 3 pairs of human pants to my name.

[OkamiKodomo]

You're better off than I am. XD I have 1 pair of pants left. I'm going clothes shopping in a few weeks though.

The only jeans I ever liked, eased fit at Wal-Mart, seem to be discontinued. I've had luck with medium rise Levis to cover my short waisted curves.

If anyone wants to make a name for themselves in fashion please make strait and tapered pants for very short girls with big buts and thighs but tiny ankles. I'm barely 5 feet tall and have never owned a pair of pants that I don't have to roll up. The DZ 70 twins are taller than my inseam. And no $100 a pair or writing on the butt.

I hate to admit that I have no waist anymore . . . I used to wear a size 0 through my late twenties. I have realized the past couple of days that I need to do something to get a waist back at least - my pants and, erm, underthings won't stay up where they should anymore! It's very frustrating!

Try belly dancing.

[AlmySidaKay]

I actually just started belly dancing myself for the first time last night. OH GOD EVERYTHING HURTS.
