Dilemma

Singing along to:

On the one hand, I am tired. I have spent most of the day watching Bridezillas on the TV, and witnessing all that human train-wreckery is really draining, as you might imagine.

On the other hand, my roommate is not here tonight, which means I feel compelled to stay up as late as possible just because I can. It's a good thing I am environmentally aware, because otherwise I would have the lights on and the music blaring in my room even though I'm not in it. Just because I can.

Stay up or sleep? Sleep or stay up?

Sheesh. Even on the weekends I can't get a break from tough decision-making.

Update: I stayed up. First I did laundry like a loser (a loser who was running out of clothes) and then I caught up on my pop-cultural education by watching Dirty Dancing, which I'd somehow never seen before. Was there hot chocolate? There was. Did I shed some tears during the final dance sequence? Possibly. Would I kill for some of those early-sixties halter dresses and/or Baby's dancing shoes? Obviously. And most importantly: Was I wearing outrageous lipstick even though I was sitting around in soccer shorts and a t-shirt? Hell yes! It is a scientific fact that chick flicks (especially '80s chick flicks with rocktastic soundtracks) are much more enjoyable when you're wearing outrageous lipstick that possibly does not flatter your skin tone. I don't know why it's true; it just is. You should try it sometime.

Speaking of tough decision-making, I finally got my "thank you gift" from working at Orientation, which means I can start looking for a pair of Awesome Boots on which I can blow that gift card. I think I'm going to go to Macy's tomorrow.

Of course, the decision probably won't be as tough as it could be, since I am stymied by a) large feet (10.5--no one wears a 10.5 except me) and b) large calves. Not large by the standards of normal human beings, just large by the standards of fashionable shoemakers, who are apparently unaware of "muscle."

Nevertheless, I am very excited about these boots.
