Actually no Christmas miracles were to be had this year--two years ago (or maybe three years ago, I forget), I prayed for snow and it started snowing 5 minutes later. But then again I was in Michigan... but then again snow was not on the forecast... but then again, it was Michigan... I still chalk it up to my own personal Christmas miracle.

If I had to pick a Christmas miracle that actually happened, it would be getting my little brother up here to visit for 5 days. It's really hard to pry him away from his girlfriend. But apparently we were so much fun that he wants to come back next week, which is fine by me and B.

If I had to ask for a post-Christmas miracle, it would be to find the perfect pair of black boots. I have some moolah burning a hole in my pocket, and I want some awesome pirate boots, that aren't skanky.

For instance, these boots are skanky.

These are perfect, but are $199, which, granted, is a lot less than their original $450.

Trashy.

Cool, even if they are granny boots instead of pirate boots.

I bought a pair of Nine West boots today that were kind of pirate-ish. But they have a stupid zipper on the calves! I thought maybe I'd get used to them, but I just can't. So I'm returning them tomorrow.

Oh and I was tagged. So here are the rules:

Once you are tagged you MUST write an entry about 6 weird habits/things you do/odd information, as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next six people to be tagged and list their names.

1. I patrol eBay for clothing items I will never buy because I don't like to buy clothes or shoes on eBay. It's a stupid waste of time, but I can't stop myself.

2. I have a lesbian crush on Angelina Jolie and new one on Gwen Stefani. The funny thing is I loved Angelina Jolie back before anyone knew who she was--back when only I was the only person I knew who had seen Cyborg 2, Foxfire and Hackers. My two loves back then were Angelina Jolie and Jude Law (also pre-crazy-famous, about 10-11 years ago). But as their famousness soared, my crush on Jude Law vanished, but my crush on Angelina Jolie has never wavered. Not even through the media fiasco that was Brangelina. Not even though I think what she named her daughter is stupid (and a proven dog's name).

3. I want a pair of really expensive jeans from Blue Cult or Seven For All Mankind. They are the best jeans I have ever seen, and they look so good on. But I could never justify spending that amount of money on a pair of jeans unless I was spending birthday money or something.

4. I am writing movie treatments on the side for extra money.

5. I got a 'B' in my Women & Popular Culture class--and I don't even care that I got a B, but it pisses me off that NO GRADUATE LITERATURE CLASS outlines exactly HOW grades are achieved in the course. I would NEVER get away not outlining percentages on my own syllabus. I feel as though if the professor doesn't really like you or doesn't really like what you have to say in class, they could give you a 'B' without even reading your paper (because we never get these back anyway). Last year, in my 501 class (which is the only required course for all English Dept. Ph.D. students), they kept CHANGING the percentages that the were required for participation, the ancillaries, the presentation and the final paper. The last they told us, they were going to do away with the ancillary work and just make the presentation and paper 50% each. I got an 'A' on my presentation and a B (or was it a B+?) on my paper, which resulted in a B for the course. I was totally confused, so I went and talked to a professor and he said that they changed the percentages to 30% presentation and 70% for the final paper since most people did better on the paper than the presentation. So I was screwed.

6. I'm getting tired of nerdslut -- I think it may be time for a new domain name.

I tag Jezebel, Desmond, Lorie, Charlie, Lyn and B (you can write it here).

Labels: clothes, clothing, fashion, pirates

I tagged you with this a while ago. My 6 things weren't very good. A lot of bodily functions and masturbation stories.
