Shopping in Notts was THE TITS to be quite honest! Sore feets now though, but lots and lots of new books ^^ It took me about an hour to find Primark, as it's HUGE! (the city. And, as it turns out, the shop.) and in the end I was getting so annoyed that I asked a random woman for directions, all because she had a primark bag. It was between her, in her mid 30s and a girl of my age. Not sounding like a bloke, but it was a toss up betweent the 2 of them and the thought of sounding like a twat to someone the same age as me scared me witless. As, obviously, I made the woman feel - she looked terrified when I approached her. "exshcuse schme pleashe, can OOO Tell Me Where Primark ish?" "Um... of course. Am I the only person that you've seen with a Primark bag? There are loads!" "Yesh, but young people shcare me."
Turns out I'd walked past it twice. Ass. I got a bit scared when I actually went in to the store, as it was enormous and people get scary in that store. I had to sharpen my elbows... Did a skinny shop, as I had a sense that there was a better shop in Notts (better than Primark? yes) but I had to ask directions from the poor guy scanning my items. "Ish There a FFforbiddden Planecht Here?" "A different what? That a clothes shop?" "No, ish a manga and anime schop" Turns out he directed me RIGHT TO IT!!! Kwehhhhhhh!!!!!! It was smaller than I was used to, but that didn't stop me buying a SHIT LOAD of manga for my shelves/for use as drawing references and because they look fantastic on my shelves ^^
I spent ages at the manga, because I already own all volumes of Fruits Basket, Deathnote, Fushigi Yugi and all the volumes published so far of Bleach and Fullmetal Alchemist so I had to choose a new series to purchase, as there was no way on Earth I was leaving the shop empty handed, seeing as they shut the store in Derby and London is too far away :( So I chose a prequal to Fushigi Yugi, that I've already read online but it's so pretty XD Volumes 1-5 and 8 safely mine now thanks to fabby 3 for 2 on all manga and have now ordered the missing volumes online. No, I don't have a sickness - about £1300 worth of books, over 100 books themselves and they are my most prized poccessions EVER! No one can touch them.
I then got stopped by a man of about 9ft in height, who actually PULLED my earphones out and put his face VERY close to mine (bending practically in half to get that close) and I was so startled I stopped to listen to him. Turns out he was a monk selling... spiritulism. Yeah. Fun. I was stood there with both arms weighed down by bags and he's wittering on about how materialistic the world is this days... He gave me a book though, so I'm not complaining. I like books. A lot. ^^
Work again tomorrow, and my lisp is no better. I hope to God my boss is not on shift tomorrow. I've been lucky so far, as he hasn't been in and knowing my luck he will be in tomorrow. I doubt the fact that you can see my tongue bar when I talk will help me say that it is a retainer due to emergency dental work that I have never and hopefully never will need due to v nice straight teeth. :) We have to take all piercings out at work - I neglect to tell him that 4 earrings, a nose stud and various other piercings neglect to be removed during my shifts due to the fact that A) I can't be arsed to and B) Those piercings cost a lot of money and they will close up if I do take them out.
