The comeback
written on Monday January 22, 2007 about My Mean Girl
While browsing for some books at Borders, I see Annie checking out some of the non-book impulse buy items that they’ve scattered near the cash registers. I can’t see the label of the product she’s holding so I ask her,
Chris: What’s that?
Annie: Something you need… Ugly-Face-Be-Gone
Sure, that’s not childish at all… Wait, forget that. I could’ve said something like, “Yeah, because I need YOUR ugly face to be gone. Yours is the ugly face. Be gone, ugly face.” Damnit, I need her to say her exact response again so I can unleash my genius comeback that will surely make her ugly face be gone by exploding from shock.
Anyway, with Valentine’s Day approaching, I can only hope that she gets me something I want rather than “something I need”.

You better start preparing your wish list!
There is nothing worst that getting something you don’t want or that is not your style. And I don’t want to be rude, but the situation gets pretty bad when you get asked about the gift you received and that you have no clue where it ended up.
So… to avoid those uncomfortable moments and due to previous events (involving friends, family and bf’s) and some unwanted/senseless gifts (I received once a Hello Kitty shirt, when all I wanted was a single Adidas skort to play tennis) I decided to prepare a wish list with an attached picture of the exact item I would like to receive.
God bless cellphones with cameras.
This is great stuff.
I you this via nine rules notes.
LaPrincesse: Cellphones should not invoke blessings! But I do realize that I’m very difficult to shop for. If I ever want something, I’ll buy it for myself before anyone gets a chance to give it to me as a gift.
cooper: Glad to hear you dig the site, especially after reading that you found better relationship blogs outside the 9rules Network, haha.
You know what happens when you think in your native language and try to type it down in English with a lot of people around speaking in that other language?
I really meant to say God bless the guy who invented cellphones with cameras.
For real… it is not easy to hear everything in Spanish and try to write something in English thinking in Spanish. It’s like my mom’s Spanglish, she has been living in Canada for quite a few months now and she was going around saying “imagine that” (as in Spanish’s “imagínate tú”) instead of go figure.
I think I just figured out why Latinos get in trouble all the time.
LaPrincesse: Your English is fine – I actually meant that I don’t enjoy cellphones. Anyone who knows me knows that I refuse to get a cellphone because I think they are pure evil. Sorry for the confusion.
i totally agree that cell phones are evil.
they deffo started the war, theyve been out to get us from the beginning.
