Woo. Sorry I haven't had any type of coherent post in a while. The past week and a half has been so crazy it's kind of ridiculous. And it all kind of came to a head yesterday and yesterday was just...wretched. It was horrible. And you know what made it even more horrible?
I'ma tell ya! (Just look at that grammar...it's golden.)
Soooo if you've been reading my blog, then you know all about the plans I had to buy Swimming with Dolphin's CD the day it came out. And man, I was pumped. I was gonna go get the CD and listen to it all day while I did homework, and it was going to just make my entire day that much better.
Or not.
I went to Best Buy...they didn't have it.
I went to Target...they didn't have it.
Walmart didn't have it either.
So I came home, all forlorn and such, and went online. The band had posted that you could get the album on iTunes (which I refuse(d) to do because I have a thing about buying full CD's on there) or at FYE.
So I called FYE, the one in the mall closest to my house, and asked if they had in the new Swimming with Dolphins CD. The guy then says, "Swimming with what?" To which I answer, "Uh...dolphins?" And after which he replied, "Yes, actually, I just finished putting them all out." (remember the all part...it's important for later).
So I said thanks, etc. etc. And I called my sister to ask if she could take me after she got off. She said yes, that she would be home at 8:30.
Now Marley Station Mall....is a very....abandoned mall. Not many people go there, and the people who do go there are...creepy. Most of them, at least. So here I go, waltzing into Marley Station at 8:45, when it's dark, the mall's about to close so there's even less people around, and security guards are scarce. I knew I was taking my own life into my hands, I really did. But this CD was just so worth it.
I made it to FYE unscathed, and looked for the CD but couldn't find it, so I finally broke down and asked. And do you want to know what the woman said?
"Oh...we only ordered one copy and it just sold."
What the heck kind of store orders one copy of a CD????
And what happened to "I just finished putting them all out "?
I was mad, to say the least. Really, super, duper mad.
And I had to navigate my way out of the super creepy, dark, deserted, mall by myself, CD-less.
Then we decided to go to the FYE in Arundel Mills.
Arundel Mills isn't as bad as Marley Station...but at 10 pm....it's pretty bad.
So here I go, risking my life again, going into another FYE, and guess what?
"Nope, sorry, we don't have that one."
I wanted to punch a wall.
So I ended up not getting it. At all. I went to four different stores and nobody had it.
And I had to order it online, from Amazon.
And Amazon has free shipping on orders over $25, so I wasn't about to spend twelve dollars on a CD and six dollars on shipping when I could just spend a few extra dollars and get free shipping.
Sooooooooooooo.
Not only did I not get the CD yesterday, but I also spent fifteen dollars more than I expected to and am now completely broke.
Let's just say....it better be worth it.
Oh & P.S....exactly one week of school left. Yessss.
