You know you're getting old when it makes you happy when someone thinks you're younger than you really are and when you tell them your age, they don't believe you. 

I was at WinCo, looking over their wine selection, when this older worker there jokingly said to me "You're too young to be looking at these"... and.. i looked at him and said... "no i'm not".  And so the arguing continues...

Man:  "::Hesitates::... i was just joking [about you not being able to view these].  You are not old enough to be able to drink these!!!

Me:  "Yes i am" 

Man:  "No you're not..... ... you cannot be over than fif-... How old are you????"

Me:  "21" 

Man:  "Noooo..... you can't be!!! I can't believe this... you look so young!  I was thinking (when he was stocking up the ice) 'what is that little girl doing looking at those?'"

And then he proceeded to leave and i heard him overtalking to one of his co-workers on the aisle over.... so i left before I became a showcase for everyone.  It made my day!!!!!  It makes me SO happy to have people think i'm young!!!! I hope that when i'm 30, people would think i'm (which I highly doubt) 21!!!

After all that, Ant and I went to Naughty Nicks and for the first time, I didn't have to pay the entrance fee!!!   We ordered a Sampler, a strawberry shake, and I ordered a wine cooler (which the lady didn't ask for my ID!!!  Totally cancels the compliment I had earlier that day ).  We bought a scratcher and as ant was driving off, I was scratching.  As customary of how we do it, I scratched off the prizes first and they all came out to be $3.00.  So.... we obviously knew we won!  I made him turn back and as he was driving, I was unraveling the numbers!  We won $30! Yeah!

So, we went back.  Split the booty.. and.. used $6.00 to buy 2 more tickets.  We lost the 1st one, but the 2nd one we won $5.00.  We split that too and used $3.00 to buy another ticket.  Our streak ended there.  I paid ant the $12.00 I won for the CD case holder that he bought online.  So...... at the end of the day... I broke even.  I still had $10 in my wallet. 

I'm going to China in 6 days, but the agency in SF screwed us over and the woman did not do our Visa application.   So we had to rush and do that ourselves on Saturday... overnighted it to them, but will not arrive until tuesday morning (doesn't really seem like overnighting if you asked me).  Hopefully, they will have it ready and mailed to us (along w/ our passports) by friday.

My Great Uncle and a couple of others will be coming to visit us today.  He's the person I might be living w/ if I cannot find housing near SFSU by August 17th.  I love them.  Great family.  He talks a lot, but it's all interesting.  We both love photography, so that's always a big topic.  It's just that... living alone will give me the opportunity to learn independence whereas living w/ them will not. 

This year and next is going to cost me thousands.  I just received my 2nd main credit card (platinum, i might add!!!), which will help me a lot for my upcoming semester.  Yeah!  I better go and finish my Linguistics paper!
