Today I decided to test the boundaries of my anxiety once again, in the form of shopping in the Penrith shopping mall alone. I do this occasionally because I don't want my anxiety to control my life forever.
I needed to buy some quality art paper and some new paint brushes. But while I was there I decided to do some Christmas shopping. But what do you buy for the people you hardly know? Family member's are the hardest to buy presents for.
I decided to browse the perfume section in Myers since the people in Perfume Empire were making me feel too awkward. Usually it's the employee's in Myers who make me uncomfortable, on account of them always thinking I'm shoplifting. Yes I dress like a punk, okay, that's established, but I do have money and I wouldn't be caught dead stealing from Myers. Like think of the street cred I would lose if that got out?
While I was browsing, one of Myers employees walked up to me and said "Hi, how are you? This is the new perfume called Lola, by Marc Jacobs." She handed me a card, I smelt it and replied "Um, it's...nice." What a complete lie. I thought it had an old lady smell. Then the employee said "So what, are you just looking for your Mom, are you?"
No, lady I'm nineteen years old and very capable of driving to the mall and navigating my way around by myself. Apparently when I go shopping by myself, I look like a lost kid.
I guess I really shouldn't have been crazily spraying all the tester perfumes and giggling like a loser.

I find shopping in Myer awkward too. Lame..
Hahaha, spraying the tester bottles is about the only productive thing I've ever done in that department store. Oh, here's a story, a month or so ago, I was looking at mineral make-up.. The lady took the liberty to show me what it looked like on my skin.. Which is normal, only they usually put it on your hand, right? sooo she proceded to apply the foundation on my face.. I just stood there and thought wtf?...and she only put it on half my face so like wtf am I meant to walk around for the rest of the day looking like a douche? ah. Moron.
