Mar. 1st, 2009 03:19 pmFriday: Hung out at Alan's and made characters for (and started) a tabletop game Jason made up, it looks like it should be a lot of fun.
Saturday: A couple days before we had randomly decided to go down to Seattle, Pam ended up coming with us which was nifty ^_^
I was hoping to see Jon but he was going to be up here that day lol.
Sat at the border almost an hour before we got to the border guard, omfg every time I go down they are getting nastier T_T
He grilled us like crazy, what did we do, why were we going down, why was Alan sniffling (allergies), why didn't he have a passport (didn't ask Pam and I why we didn't have them...just him), etc...
Then gave us a paper, told us to park, get out of the car and go into the building /swt
Waited in line only a few minutes, gave the guard up front our ID and he told us to go sit down, thankfully we only waited about 5minutes before we were called back up.
Guard:*grumpy voice* "Where are you going in Seattle"
Us "Belleveiw"
Guard: "THAT'S NOT SEATTLE! Now WHERE are you going?"
Us "Uh its not? We are going to some mall there"
Guard: "WHAT MALL? -_-!"
Us "*insert name that I've now forgotten*
Guard: "Well thats not Seattle so you aren't going there, why are you going to that mall?"
Me "To shop, a friend who lives here suggested it because he said there are some shops I'd like"
Guard "Okay go"
o-o
Jeezuz....
The rest of the drive went okay, we stopped at a Shell to get gas so Pam and I went inside to look at all the weird American stuff :P
Stange candy and lolz...booze. (you can only buy that here at a liquor store )
Managed to find the mall Jon suggested I go to because there's a Sanrio store and some pink shop.
Alan just about died because we also found out they have a Lego store XD
The inside of the pink store looked really nifty but I was a bit disappointed to find they sold pre-teen clothes.
I loved the Sanrio store so much XD
Even though they carried a lot less than the Hello Kitty store here, they had a lot of thing's I'd never seen before, tons of Kuromi and it was all super cheap @_@!
Went to the Lego store and Alan got his $200 Death Star o-o
Next he wants the $500 Millennium Falcon XD
Found a Godiva and I was like please please PLEASE let it be a boutique...and it was...so I finally got a dark chocolate raspberry frap...the first one I've had since August...it was sooo good T_T
Dragged Pam into Sephoria...thankfully Vancouver is getting one this December XD
Next we drove off to find Pike's Place Market, we only had 2 hours (evil paid parking) so we had to look around fast.
I LOVED this place and saw tons I wished I could buy, mostly clothes (very hippy/fairy'ish, including lots of jingglies) and jewellery...like a bracelet I've wanted for ages now (it looks sort of like this, I love that quote)
There was also a chick selling these really funky hats, I liked one that was an ice blue with an Asian print XD
Went into the first Starbucks ever, it was a line up of wall to wall people so we left Alan there and looked around a bit more.
I was so dead tired because I'd only gotten 4hrs sleep that night and only 2hrs the night before, a couple times I really thought I might pass out but I ignored it and kept going.
Then we tried to find another mall Alan told me about which has a large Hot Topic, couldn't find it so we went to another one (it was still bigger than the other two I've been to)
omg so much LOVE for this place, I die of happy.
Saw even more I wanted, managed to get a CUTE pair if BRIGHT PINK BOOTS, yes...CUTE shoes that FIT me XD
And they were cheap...on clearance for $20!
Even not on sale they were onlt $39!
Started to head back to Canada when we saw another mall....Pam and I were squeeing but Alan had accidentally missed the turn off for it, I told him there should be an "oh shit" turn off coming soon for people who missed the first one and can we please please go back because zomg MORE shopping, plus there was a Barnes & Noble and a Target (I wanted to see the Hello Kitty stuff)
He managed to find another turn off so yay XD
Target was nifty, saw a bunch of HK stuff I wanted and OMFG....cereal is SO CHEAP in the US.
Box of Fruit Loops there = $2.75.
here? Almost $7 :X
I wish I could have bought some to stock up, I never get Fruit Loops :C
The book store was awesome, soo much nicer than Chapters.
Found a couple of awesome stores I now forget the names of, saw more jewellery and a super nice skirt. XD
Went to the food court to get something to eat, not one healthy place at all o-o so I much prefer food courts here (but maybe it was just that mall)
Got a piece of pizza that was yummy and some weird pop that was like the poor mans Sprite.
Went to Bed Bath and Beyond, after years of like ZOMG MUST GO THERE I was disappointed, I think because we now have Home Sense and its very similar....
Ignored Victoria's Secret, a place I'd always loved because years ago I discovered they also don't sell my bra size...so boo to them.
Didn't make it to the Cemetery which was too bad but I was glad we got to look around at all the shops.
We plan on going down again soon, as much as possible before June (when you need passports) and maybe staying the night so we can get more done.
I still want to do the Cemetery, Sci-Fi museum, take more photos (I only took like 2 because we were inside most of the time), go back to Pike's place and see EVERYTHING, walk the board walk, more malls etc...
Drive home I was so sleepy omg...almost fell asleep in the car but Alan had the air conditioning cranked so he wouldn't fall asleep o-o
Went through the boarder just fine and yay they didn't charge us duty.
Came home and crashed right away o-o
I LOVE MY BOOTS OMG XDD
