Spuddy Buddies

While I'm lying here, befriending everyone else on Google Friend Connect, I'm thinking about the conversation a few girlfriends and I had today. Fridays at school can be a drag or they can be fun. We had like 3 free periods today so it was a pretty empty day.

I have no idea how our conversation started but I think it started when one of my friends, Meg, asked me if I knew any good dress shops. You see, her brother's getting married soon and she has yet to pick out the perfect dress. I happened to know that we had a fashionista and avid shopper in our class - Nikki. She's a cheerleader and she's the perfect shopping partner or so I like to think.

Suddenly Deb (who is prone to burst into conversations unexpectedly) and Sonja are pulling their chairs up to join in on our little chat. And you know how we girls can never just talk about one thing for long. We covered a few things but the main topics of discussion were dresses and books.

Interesting conversations and for me, I don't find myself talking about fashion with my friends often. It's my mom whom I confide my taste in fashion to. My friends don't know I have a passion for high heels or my liking towards flip flops and unfussy clothes.

I dig Megan Fox and Katy Perry's style - chic and uber cute and sometimes classy. Taylor Swift is a little too, um, weird for me. I've never thought of myself as a dress-wearing, accessory-donning type of girl. I'm more into jeans and flip flops and plain T-shirts which Taylor doesn't wear. I don't get why girls don't like pants.

Anyways, us girls talked about dress shops and budgets. Meg said that her budget was under a thousand bucks. I swear we all gawked at her like she was nuts. I don't think she's aware of the fact that normal dresses don't usually cost that much. We're not exactly celebrities, you know.

Then the conversation drifted for a while. Deb, Sonja and Nikki started talking about some specific shop. Meg looked at me and asked me if I knew any good shops that sell high heels. Oh my god, I looooove shoe-shopping. I think I spend more on shoes than clothes.

I told her a few places which I think sells pretty decent shoes. Then Meg turned to Deb and asked her what she thought of high heels. We had a really silly conversation.

Meg: Hey, Deb, what do you think of high heels?

Me: Hey, Nikki, are you a fan of high heels?

Nikki (eyes wide with excitement): Definitely!

Deb: Oh my god, no. Don't even talk to me about high heels. That day I stood for two hours in heels this high (about two inches) and it was torturous.

Sonja, Meg, Nikki, Me: *laughing like maniacs*

Deb: And when I went caroling, I had to wear heels this high (again she shows about two inches of heel) and I nearly died. I swear it was so tiring!

Sonja: I can't imagine what would happen to you if you walked in higher heels.

And then we couldn't stop laughing because Deb just looked so horrified.

Then slowly we began to talk about books because we're enthusiastic readers. Nikki has never read a Meg Cabot or Sophie Kinsella book before. Can you believe that? I can't because I've read almost all their books. 

Me, Deb and Sonja decided that The Mediator series by Meg Cabot is the best series. I read The Mediator a couple of years back and I'm still madly in love with the books. I have yet to introduce Susan Elizabeth Phillips to my gal pals. (:

At the end of the day, we decided that it'd be awesome to go out together one day to shop for clothes and books. How girly does that sound? Sounds fun, huh?
