» Things you've done when you've had no money.

i hate mcdonalds
But one day I was really, really hungry.
My mate had come up from Wellington and he had purchased some vile meal with 2% meat (I believe it is more commonly known as a "cheeseburger"). I had no money. Zip. Nada. None. Not wanting to scavenge off a friend I hadn't seen in ages, I survived by asking him to save me a bit of his burger. He saved like TWO BITES for me. Oh well. I got a hair from my head (I have real long hair) and wrapped it around the remaining burger. I'm serious. I WRAPPED it around. It seemed clever at the time. I did a pretty bow too. Then I went down to the nice people at the counter and demanded a refund. The gangy teen just looked at me and went "Shit!!!" and yelled about some worker not tying their hair up. BUT I GOT A FREE BURGER NO QUESTIONS ASKED. It fed me for like a day.

I hate having no money.


edit: I just remembered I hate that knob from Wellington, he really is so very annoying and knob-like.

» Worst Nicknames Ever

Friend of mine,
Monique is her name, is, for reasons unknown to me, called "Mingey". She's been called this for ages, and i've never really thought about it till now. Poor girl responds to it too.

Following ArtificialHero's post
about taking the first letter of a name + the surname, i went to college with a guy called "Dingo". EVERYONE called him Dingo. Only later i realised his name was David Ingoe. He was asking for it really. But it could have been Bingo, Lingo .... more as they come ...

» Shoddy Presents

i once received
a book entitled "13 Murder Mysteries".
From my grandmother.

Surely she was aware that a wimpy 14 year old girl has NO interest in blood & gore at all? I tell ya, geriatrics...

I stashed it in my wardrobe, along with a MUFFIN TRAY that i received from an aunt that same year. It's still in the packaging.
