hello everyone;;

I started a blog!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!

{/sarcasm}

I've decided to to a post about yesterday, since I meant to start one then, but I had some technical difficulties. >.>

So here I go:

K, so it's the morning, and I'm just sitting on the couch, minding my own business, writing in my TOP SECRET notebook, and suddenly my dad comes along and is like, "Iris, you better go over to your friend's house NOW."

Alright, so it wasn't really like that, but it sure seemed like it.

Either way, I was going to go over there, so I hid my TOP SECRET notebook and walked over.

When I got there (It's just SUCH an awful experience, walking next door. My legs ached for the rest of the day.) my friend Charlotte said, "C'mon, we're gonna play Restaurant!" Or something like that xD

So we walked upstairs. We played "Restaurant" and ate some popcorn shrimp (Which would be a great name for a band. The Popcorn Shrimp.) and then I left.

I was pretty excited when I got home, 'cause we were going back-to-school shopping. I'm not like crazy about shopping, but it's kinda fun. ;D My mom had just got out of the shower, and she was all drippylike. She told me to go get directions to the mall, so I went downstairs to this very computer and asked my dad if he would get directions.

Apparently getting directions to a mall is way harder than it looks. First we had to figure out which mall was closer, which took 10 minutes because me and my dad had different ideas on how to do it.

Dad: I'm trying to make this map bigger!!
Me: Just get directions for both malls and we can see which is closer.
Dad: NOOO!! *clicks "click for larger image" button madly*

In the end, my idea worked. B)

Anyways, my mom was ready (FINALLY. She takes so long...) and we got on our shoes and left. Dad stayed at home, working on the computer, as always.

I sat in the back of our car, being incredibly bored. Stupid traffic...

Well, in case you were wondering, we did get there. I didn't die in the backseat. When we drove into Burnaby, we searched for Metrotown Centre, which is supposed to be a big mall with 150 stores or something.

Instead of going to Metrotown Centre, we stopped at another place. Metropolis At Metrotown. My mom said, "Hey, why not give this a try?" I said okay, and we drove into the garage.

Obviously, we didn't think to look up, because they weren't joking when they named this place. It's, like, a city. I'm not even kidding. Those buildings are way taller then the apartment buildings next to the mall. It has 470 shops. T_T

May I ask a simple question here?

WHOSE IDEA WAS IT TO MAKE A SMALL CITY OUT OF A MALL??

AND WHY DID THEY SPEND ALL THAT MONEY TO MAKE HUGE, PROBABLY EMPTY BUILDINGS??

WHY DIDN'T THEY USE THE MONEY TO DO SOMETHING USEFUL, LIKE END WORLD HUNGER??

GOD PEOPLE!!!!!! YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE GUYS HAVE TO WEAR ROLLER SKATES!!! (No, seriously. How do people stay in one place with those things, anyway?)

{/rant}

Well, after we parked the car (nice try, but free parking isn't changing my mind about this place) me and my mom went up two escalators, onto the upper floor or something like that, and we entered Old Navy.

We got A LOT OF CLOTHES to try on. It took a long time, and I didn't even try everything on O_O
I got some nice T-shirts, and some other stuff...

After that, my mom dragged me off to Gap, although I was pretty much tired of clothes shopping by then. Then she looked at some stores, all of which I find quite boring (why does she only like brown?) and then we left. This time, I just got into a comfortable position, and practically fell asleep. I kept thinking I was home, and then I was like, Then why am I lying here? and I realized I was in the car o_o

When we got home, I was VERY hungry. Luckily my mom had made her famous stew...

Finally signing off here,
