Pure Imagination

So today I got ran some errands with Katie, including accompanying her to her drug test for K-mart and heading all the way up the mountain to the GameStop to sell her game cube only to find out that they wouldn't accept it because she had left the controller at her house. She's selling it because at a yard sale last week she found a perfectly working, almost new Wii for FORTY FIVE DOLLARS. Damn it, some people just have all the luck, you know.

Anyway, she let me borrow her Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the original version, not that Johnny Depp creepy remake) and John and I watched it. I hadn't seen it in such and long time and I forgot how AWESOMELY AMAZING IT IS. And most because Wonka is one of my favorite types of characters. You know, the loony ones, the ones you have no idea what to expect from because they'll say or do anything. The tricksters. The kind of people who act random and insane and a bit idiotic but you know they're secret geniuses who don't miss a thing.

Oh, and my income tax return thingy is back in! I think we're picking it up tomorrow. I'm excited. I'm going to go clothes shopping. I haven't gone shopping properly in I don't know how long. I hate that. I used to get new clothes at the beginning of the school year. Now I don't have anyone to take me shopping! Oh Dan, if only you were here . . .

But yeah. I'm thinking this hugely awesome (and awesomely huge) Goodwill in Charleston for some jeans and Khols for the rest. I might need a new swim suit but those cost so much money! I hate how they charge you freaking twenty or more PER PIECE. That's highway robbery. It's a load of shit. We should protest. I'm going to research sales and stuff after I'm done writing this.

Quote of the Day:

"We are the music makers and we are the dreamers of the dreams."

Willy Wonka quoted this randomly in the movie (he likes to do that, quote random things) It's actually the first lines of a poem called Ode, by Arthur O'Shaughnessy. It's a very awesome poem. I used to have the first stanza memorized. You should check it out, Tyler, if you haven't already. Good stuff.
