Look at what I got in mail today. (Unless you are Sherlock Holmes, you are not to mention my dirty laundry and crummy gym bag in the background)
A giant pink costume?
No silly, its a bean bag (apparently they sold me on it because you can contort and make shapes off it. They got me at creativity.)
The immediate reaction I had when I impatiently ripped apart the huge cardboard box it came in, was this:
I MADE A HUGE MISTAKE*
No, it wasn't the stingy amount of beans they have inside it (Seriously, what were they thinking? Its a fucking bean bag, put some beans in it you stingy morons!)
No it wasn't even the failure to hold shapes (so much for creativity, baah!)
No, it wasn't even the strange stench that comes with it (I gather it is a "factory setting")
But it was this very apparent, blatant, in-your-face pink color.
Pink. Whaaaaaat?! I was raven mad. But but but...I ordered it in Fuchsia. I mean that word "fuchsia" sounded so EXOTIC! And in the pictures it looked more red than pink. I should have fucking looked up Fuchsia.
Here is what wikipedia has to say about Fuchsia (as I read it now, a tad too late eh?)
"Fuchsia (pronunciation: /ˈfjuːʃə/, few-shə) is a vivid reddish or pinkish purple color named after the flower of the fuchsia plant, itself named after the German scientist Leonhart Fuchs. Fuchsia is a synonym formagenta."

THEY GOT ME AT FUCHSIA!

PS: Also Blogger wants to be a bitch and upload images from Picasa only. They go all Vista-type-circling-cursor over me if I try to upload images from my computer. *Miffed*
PPS: No it is not a Valentine's Day gift. I mean, I assumed that you sort of assumed...you know.
