So, it was recently pointed out by a friend that I was a shopping addict. I didn’t even notice, but I’ve been shopping everyday this week and I’m planning to go either tomorrow or Friday. But, I’ve been shopping for a good cause. Clothes and doughnuts :).
Today I went to Lakeside with my family. It started like a pretty normal boring shopping trip. My mum convincing my dad he needs more shirts, a pointless trip to Robert Dyas and then to Waterstones.
But then, as soon as I walked into Waterstones, I saw it. Or should I say him? Alex Pettyfer. A book called I Am Number Four is being turned into a film with Alex Pettyfer cast as the main character so he was on the front of the book. There was a deal on so I also had the opportunity to get another book I’ve wanted for a while, Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick. Anyway, back to Alex. There were two versions of the cover, the original or the one with Alex. My brother said to get the original because it was ‘better’ but my dad preferred the other, and so did I, so that helped solve my problem. I cannot wait to read it! But this story gets better. As my mum was paying I was hanging round one of the aisles, cos I’m cool like that, and I saw they were giving away free book marks... With Alex Pettyfer on it! It matches the book. And I now own two things with his face on ;) :
We went to Game a while after. I was looking at the pre-owned PS2 games to see if I could find some my brother had broken and I found both! Well, my mum found both. I also got Spyro because I like Spyro and it was 3 for 2. Then in WHSmiths I bought some awesome wrapping paper. It was only 50p, probably because Christmas is 10 months away. Then in this American candy store they were selling Coca-Cola with Vanilla. I really miss it, but it was £1.55 for a can and that is just too much. I’ll just get it if and when I go to America myself. I walked past a men’s clothes store and the mannequins had these incredibly strange poses, their fists were clenched, it was so strange.
We had dinner and went to the pet store after to look at the redonkulously cute animals. Just as we were about to leave a fight started outside between about 10 guys. It was crazy! They were grabbing each others hoodies and one took his belt off and started using it as a whip! They started grabbing stools from the cafe next door and were using those to beat each other up. I was slightly scared for my life. Then one ran into the pet store to grab a weapon. What did he think he was going to get? A hamster... But it was okay; a tall man with a piercing kept him out. It was quite funny now that I think about it. By the time the fight was over and they had gone all that was left was a couple over turned stools and a mannequins hand in the middle of the floor. Sad really...
