bathing suit shopping.

a treacherous, painful, and emotional endeavor, especially for those who only dream of being a size six.

first, the unwilling shopper is subjected to a forest of triangles and strings. beset by the scanty but overpowering metaphorical "trees" of the forest, the shopper is forced to retreat into the even-numbered section - not quite womens, but in a milder section of the swimsuit forest. after getting over the fact that each bikini is made up of 4 TRIANGLES OF FABRIC, tied together by lycra STRINGS, i could breeze through them on a rack in seconds. i discovered that most of the bathing suits that could even hope to cover my midsection were one-pieces. i would have been more open minded to them if they all didnt remind me of someone over fifty years old. so i found a few tankinis that were fairly cute, and then i headed for the dressing rooms.

another painful experience.

i swear, i dont know if it is the lights or the mirrors or my predisposition, but i swear, i looked fifteen pounds heavier in that damn mirror than usual. nothing fit. i was crying and yelling at my mom to get the next size up and rebelling and ripping things and it was bad. so then, after not finding anything that would not have caused civil unrest by me wearing it, i moved on to the next store.

same results.

by the third store, i was thoroughly irritated, my mother was about to kill me, we had not spent a dime, and i was negative in the self esteem department. i know you all say, oh anna your not fat. fine. but i still look like shit in a bathing suit. grrrrrr. i felt like shitshitshitshitiness after that trip. but i suprisingly found two (thats right, TWO tankini/skirted bottom thingies by the fourth store) siuts that i felt would not cause children to run screaming to their mothers and the army invading and world leaders suing America for allowing such a monstrosity to roam the streets... they are cute, and for the first time in my life, i am excited for summer. even after my bikini overkill experience, i am happy. :)

so sorry i haveint been commenting on y'alls journals, ive been uuber busy. not that some of you who read this every eighteen entries or so will care, but an apology to you as well.

i will be home this summer. call me or die <3

HI!

i have a shitload to accomplish in this entry, so listen up!

firstly and most importantly, i need your prayers for my aunt who is very ill. she lives in st. louis. on monday, one of hr lungs collapsed, so she was rushed to the hospital. then they discovered that the other lung had tons of blood clots. she kind of responded to therapy, but she is currently in ICU. my dad is in louisiana on a biz trip, and my mom and my grandma are going to fly down to st. louis tomorrow, so i will go and stay with meg samberg. YAY for meg and her mom for being supernice and letteing me stay at their house! so pray people that i dont drive them crazy!!!

so on friday i went to the st mary's fair and met up with karlie, bethany, rachel, anne, mooma, brett, and johnny. and i saw sooo many people! i saw evan and alyse and lyndsey and alyssa and abbie and danielle and esther and shayla and tons of boys from refuge and abbott, from whom i recieved some MEAN stares. fuck you guys. the boys, not the girls. the girls were supersweet and gave hugs and we chatted for 2.5 seconds before i got ADD and had to go on a ride. teehee it was fun tho. some chick from abbott was on the zipper at the same time as me and karlie and she started yelling at evan who was on the ground walking by, and i told him this later, and i think that he thought it was me because i was wearing blue and so was she. but it wasnt. the zipper was funny tho bc i thought i was dead, so i was screaming at karlie, "OMG IM DEAD! I DIED!!!!" and it was bloody insane. funny, tho. then we had this competition btwn our group and another group from marian to see how many names of guys we could get. we got like, thirty, and they had four, so then later it was tied, and then i had to leave, so im not really sure what happened. that was friday.

ooh! quote from a convo btwn beth and this guy:

B: "what's your name?" 

"Barry"

B: "Peter?"

hahaha funny.

okay, so then on saturday, my grandparents came in and we played tennis. yeehaw.

then on sunday, i went to francis' grad party, now THAT was funny!! me and alex and maria were doing the macarena, and then all these ppl were doing it, then they played the song while gab tried to sing along. FUNNY! and alex decided she would be a happy drunk. she kept trying to steal the coronas. bad alex.

i might elaborate more later. i must, however, go now. pray for my aunt please!!
