stupid novel

I haven’t been able to concentrate on anything all day. Okay, that could be partly because I was vaguely hung over when I woke up this morning, due to much entertaining imbibement with Senor Asshat last night. It could be due to the fact that I’ve been out drinking two nights this week. It could be due to the fact that it was Halloween week. Or that we just hit the supposed “Daylight Savings” time, which now means that it gets dark really freaking early. Or it could be that I want to go home and start writing my craptastic novel. Or it could be that my blood sugar went through the floor because of the good-bye-party-cake-and-champagne or the left-over-from-halloween-trick-or-treating-candy. Whatever it is, my brain is totally toast and has been all afternoon. Our beloved receptionist was so antsy to get out of here that he locked his keys in his desk. HAH!

But first, a little Friday Five. Just for old time’s sake.

1. What size shoe do you wear?
9 1/2, but since nobody ever has them, 10.

2. How many pairs of shoes do you own?
At present, I believe 18 - although it has gone over 30. (I gave away 18 pairs of shoes when I moved in April.)

3. What type of shoe do you prefer (boots, sneakers, pumps, etc.)?
Knee-high inside-zip tall tough badass black leather boots. (In a financial pinch, they don’t have to be leather.) Did you see the ones I had on yesterday? Those would be them. Those boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do - and maybe a little shit-kicking on the side.

4. Describe your favorite pair of shoes. Why are they your favorite?
Well, I sort of just did. Okay, my OTHER favorite shoes are burgundy leather Steve Madden sneakers with beige laces that I got on clearance for $16. They’re comfy AND cute. The boots have the cute, but notsomuch the comfy. The sneaks are the best of both worlds.

5. What’s the most you’ve spent on one pair of shoes?
$85 - but they were on sale for $65 - for a pair of running shoes. I’m actually wearing them at the moment. I was on one of my running kicks - they come frequently and don’t last very long - and I thought they were a great bargain. *snort* Too bad the shoes couldn’t make me LIKE running.

Okay, enough. It’s time for some weekend. See you on the flipside…
