[Backdated to Thursday|Locked from Mileina]

[lockon2urheart]

Well, that was the most embarrassed I've ever been buying a book. The clerk looked like he wasn't sure whether to call the police or just throw me out of the store. I doubt I could have looked more shifty if I'd tried. Next time, someone remind me that the truth - "my co-worker's 12-year-old daughter" is probably still less shady than the 'unconvincing "my niece"' approach.

Exactly when did buying a present for a teenage girl become an ordeal? Probably when I started getting old, huh. Might explain why I felt so out of touch, looking at the blurbs. Has the teen section always been full of vampire romance?

At any rate, at least I got something hopefully not too trashy. Then again, I can't help but think Mileina'd be quite happy with something cliche, anyway... The fact that I can probably never show my face in that bookstore again is a small sacrifice.

...Now I just have to hope that the book offsets the slightly misshapen nature of the tennis-ball plush Haros I tried to sew. It's a sorry state of affairs when Tieria's better at craftsmanship than I am, but I'm pretty sure that the scarf he made was more successful than these things.
