The most miraculous thing just happened. I was shopping for shoes, for as you know, mine had died. I generally hate shopping for anything, and shoes are my second-least-favourite thing to go out looking for (after pants, which I am also in need of, but am still putting off). After hitting a few stores with no luck - they were all too trendy or did not have my size - I began to get aggravated. "I just need shoes," I thought to myself. "I don't WANT shoes, but I do NEED shoes. They must be comfortable, and they must be inexpensive, but style is mostly irrelevant. I don't want to search all over Hell's half-acre for bloody shoes. What I REALLY want is just the same damn shoes I have on my feet right now, but in better repair. These shoes are sturdy, comfortable, decent-looking, and long-lasting. I just wish I knew where I bought them!"
Then I walked into Payless Shoe Source, and there they were. The exact same damn shoes, sitting on the shelf of men's 13s. Cheap, too. Go figure.
Now does anyone know where I can find a Santa hat that isn't a cheap piece of crap?
