I woke up today and decided not to shower because I don't think that will be able to straighten my hair. My brother was home on leave and said I looked creepy, and I hadn't even applied my eyeliner. He asked if I wanted to go to Best Buy because he wanted to get a new cd. I told him that I had to apply my eyeliner and I will. As I was in the bathroom applying it he came in and just shook his head.
When we got to Best Buy it didn't really feel like anyone was staring at me. My brother said that he had to get Pink's new cd for his girlfriend so he went to the rock section and I went to the new album section. I took one of the free booklets that said what was coming out, and flipped through it as I walked over to Matt. I didn't feel like looking anymore so I shoved it in my pocket. Shortly after the security guy came over and said that "someone" claimed to have seen one of us stick something in our pockets. I smiled at this because I knew exactly what it was, so when we emptied our pockets I told him that I shoved the booklet in my pocket but since it said free I thought it was ok. He said that it was fine and walked away. Matt came up to me and said this is what you were waiting for. I smiled and said that this was exactly what I was looking for.
After Matt picked out the cd he wanted we took off for home. We sat around watching TV for awhile. Matt realized that he needed to go to Wal Mart for something and asked if I wanted to go. I said yeah I didn't have anything else to do. When we walked in Matt asked if I payed attention to people around me. I told him yeah not knowing where this was going, but he said that the greeter guy gave me a dirty look. Today was the best day in my quest because I finally had stereotyping come to the surface.
