Respect your Elders...regardless of them being senile

I went to the Dollar Tree yesterday over on Fort Union to pick up some odds and ends. I finish with half a basket full of goodies and proceed up to the checkout line. The first one I come across had a ton of people waiting, so I scurried over to the other line which only had a few. I inch up to the line and this old man standing 10 feet away to my left tells me he's " in that line." I tell him, "Ok." Expecting him to walk in front of me to "claim" his spot in line. He just stood in that same place. I noticed that the few people that were in front of me had almost completed the checkout. I moved my cart a little to indicate to the old man he better get his ass in gear or I was going for it. I turned to look at him and surprisingly he just stood in that same place. I figured that he was just going to get in line when he felt like it and frankly, like the majority of people in the world..I've got a life. I have more important things to do than wait for nutjob to figure out what line he was in. The last person that was in front of me had checked out and I had pulled my cart up to be next. All of a sudden I hear the familiar senile old man say, " Oh, I see how it is..." I said , " Excuse me?" He's like, "I told you that I was already in line, but you just got up here anyway." I turned around and said, " I gave you plenty of time to get in front of me and I would hardly call 10 feet away from the line being in line." He then proceeded to stand there and bitch about how I took his place in line. I told him that he was more than welcome to get in front of me, but he wasn't in any line that I could see. He declined my offer, but continued to bitch. I turn and tell him in a nasty voice, " Look, either get in front of me or shut up about it." He's gets all defensive and tells me to " Go right ahead, I don't care." I start to put my things up on the conveyor belt and he starts in again about how I stole his spot in line. I couldn't take it anymore.... I grabbed my things put them back in the basket and moved my basket aside. I told him to please get in front of me so he can get the hell out of my face about it. The lady at the register thought this whole scene was absolutely hilarious. I, on the other hand, was about to punch this guy in the face. He put his things on the belt and continued to stand behind me even though I made lots of room for him to move forward. His total was 3.25 and he pulled out each dollar one by one and kept glaring at me while he paid. The lady thanked him for his purchase and wished him a good day. He says, " Well, it's a little late for that." He finally walked in front of me continuing his glare. I then said " That's your fault." He just
walked and said things under his breath.
What a lunatic! Who in the hell says they are in line from 10 feet away from the line and then just stands there as the line moves forward? Then he thinks he has a leg to stand on to bitch at me for " stealing his place." My god.

This was the group on Saturday night right before we headed out to the New Kids on the Block concert. The group consisted of Jamie, Daysi, Jessica and I. It was not easy getting us looking like this. It took a total of 2 hours to get looking this rockin' ;) I would have to say that it was by far totally worth it. We ended up out until 2am, because some chicks (Jessica and Daysi) wanted to head over to Denny's at midnight..LOL. It was a great night! When we arrived at the E-Center, people were running up to us like the paparazzi wanting to take our pictures. Daysi was telling me she was talking to her friend that " heard" about us at the concert, so we were pretty much famous!

I haven't really played a whole lot of video games. I tried playing Little Big Planet while Thomas was gone on Saturday, but it just wasn't as fun =( I kept getting mad and freaking out. Apparently, the reason it was so hard was that it was the last level of the game that I happen to wander into and Thomas had kept me in the safe zone before. I totally wanted to impress him with my mad skills I had developed when he got home....so much for that. It's not time for me to play with the big boys yet, I guess.

Oh, I have a rant...

I was at Albertsons tonight picking up some ingredients for dinner. I don't know about anyone else but I always go for the "self-checkout" and end up regretting it because it tells me I either didn't bag something or it rings up a totally whacked out price. Tonight was the latter of the problems. Who in the hell would charge 2.99 lb for a celery? This lady in charge of the self check-out kept telling me it was 2.99lb and I said no....that's for the whole package no matter how much it weighs. I could understand them charging that for already cleaned, washed, cut celery...because they actually took the time to make it easier for you to cook with. Then she wanted to fight with me about the price of the grapes. It clearly said on the damn sign they were .98lb, which is a killer deal. She was telling me they were 5.00lb, but with my savings card it took off 1.00 per lb for me. Uh, last time I checked 5 minus 1 wasn't 98cents. So, off she went to go and price check the grapes. It's the #1 thing in their freakin store ad, but she has to go and make sure. They weren't organic either, so I don't know why they were ringing up that much. She gets back and she's like " No, I think they are ringing up right..." I rolled my eyes and told her to just forget everything. I ended up going to Dan's and I didn't have a problem.

The moral of this rant is so you kids stay in school to realize that 5-1=4 . Oh, and don't go to Albertsons either.

If you'll notice in the upper right hand corner, I have been tracking my earnings for playing video games. Can you guys honestly believe that I played for a total of 2 1/2 hours last night? I can't either, I don't know what had come over me.

Thomas and I played some more Little Big Planet. I had my little polka dot dress outfit thing going on with my rock star sunglasses for my sack girl. I'm going to go and look for a sack girl online close to the one that I made...no apparently mine is pretty unique. I didn't die as much as I did the night prior, but I did still die quite a few times. In fact, there was a point that I looked over at Thomas and said , "Hey, would you please quit dying??!!" He's like, " I'm not trying to, this is a hard part!!!" (That's what she said) Then I took a break to go and play some Left Brain/ Right Brain on my pink DS. I'll have you all know that according to that game, I'm almost ambidextrous. I'm 100% on my right hand (because I'm right-handed) and 84% on my left hand. It was a good time. =)
So, I watched The Office last night. It was one of the more blah episodes. I wasn't really too impressed. Not that I could do any better, but still , well maybe I could. I should write a script and submit it to them. I'll land myself a sweet job in Hollywood, be famous, have weirdos stalk me and then end up killing themselves in their car outside my house. On second thought, I guess I'll just wait until next week to see if it's a better episode.


I'm so excited for tomorrow night!! I will be heading out to see my heartthrob from my childhood, can anyone guess who that is???!!! Joey McIntyre from New Kids on the Block!!!! The New Kids on the Block are coming to town!!! My friends and I have been making our neon paint, homemade concert t-shirts for this special occasion. Unfortunately, Thomas didn't want to come...I don't know why... OH WELL. ;)

I played 30 minutes of Little Big Planet last night. Which means I earned myself $3.00 towards my next book. (Remember, it counts as double if Thomas chooses the game) So, I sat down to play and Thomas was ecstatic! And then I remembered why I don't like playing so much....I hate how there are a million buttons that do various things on the Playstation controllers. I get confused and I press the wrong buttons at the wrong time, I die a few times and I quit. Sega Genesis had just the right amount of buttons on it, I rarely die on there or forget what the hell I push.




I started out making my sackgirl who had pink, yellow and blue polka dots on pink fabric. I had a some pink hair done in braids and a black and white polka dot dress. The thing that made my outfit was my rockstar sunglasses. I looked like a million dollars =) I was able to learn how to run, jump, um...put stickers on things to get these blue balls. The Blue Balls consist of new outfits you can dress your sack girl/boy in or more points. I also learned how to pull and push blocks, but I think the coolest part of it was learning how to hold on to things while you're rolling down a huge hill on a skateboard. I just learned the basics last night. There was a level in it that was extremely frustrating. It had a bunch of cardboard cut-out ghost things that were hanging from chains and if you happened to run behind them, you die. I died about 5 times. After that level, I was ready for a break. Thomas said he was really proud of me that I lasted that long =)

Thomas is in the other room playing some PS3 game that just came out called Dead Space. I was going to start my video game thing tonight...but uh...he's using the big nice tv in the living room, so I guess I can't. (Tomorrow when he's going to read this, I will guarantee that he will say this
" I asked you if you wanted to play some video games and you said No") But for some reason, I all of a sudden wanted to play and he's on the big nice tv right now...so yeah....can't. ;)

Anyways, on another note I would like to add that I will be adding my occasional rant on here as well. I'm just saying this so that no one is going to be confused and wonder why I'm not talking about my many future adventures of playing video games.

I'm going to go ahead and go off on a rant...just let me think of something first....brb.

(I just went to go and check if he's still playing Dead Space, and he is...so I still can't play)

Has anyone noticed how there are a lot of ugly actors and actresses out there nowadays? There is this one show on called " Worst Week" and the star of that show is absolutely atrocious. He's like a younger version of George from Seinfeld crossed with I dunno, some other ugly person. His acting is horrible too, so someone in the casting room is either boozing it up or desperate. Ooooh, another one is Gary UnMarried, they have the star being played by Jay Mohr, who is also ugly. Granted , I'll give him some credit, he was a pretty good douchebag in Jerry Maguire. But I think that's pretty much all I can say about him that's nice. Let's think of some ugly women....Oh. Ugly Betty..okay cheap shot... I'll think of another I'm sure it won't be too hard. Ugly chicks, Ugly chicks, hmmmm...Oh, Barbra Streisand. Although, I haven't seen her on tv lately and I thank her for that. =) Anyone else...geez this is pretty hard. Ok, I'll have to come back to this later.

I don't know what channel this show is on, I want to say it's TLC or Discovery, something along those lines...but there is a show called " The Duggar Family, 18 and counting." If you have seen it you know where I am going with this.. This family has 18 children all 18 and under. She has has one child per year for the last 18 years. Could you imagine? It blows my freakin mind. Their family vehicle is a BUS! They asked her recently if she was going to have any more children and you know what she said? " Oh, it depends on if the lord wants me to"

What the hell??!!!

I don't think the lord has anything to do with it. I should write her a letter and maybe include some birth control information to let her know it exists. If I was her I would be afraid to go to the bathroom, because I would fear that all of my insides would fall out. Wouldn't that be a trip? You go to the bathroom thinking it was just an innocent little pee and the next thing you know you're screaming for your husband or one of your many kids to come hand you something to shove your insides back in with. LOL

I'm sorry for the mental picture, but someone had to say it. Ok, that's enough for tonight. I have to go pee, and you know what? I'm not worried ;)

Me and My Big Mouth

Thomas and I were in Disneyland just walking around and I happen to say, " I have a pretty cool idea!" He asks me what it is. And I play around and say, "Nah, you probably wouldn't want to...." He laughs and asks me again what I have in mind. I say, " Well since you LOVE video games and I LOVE to read, we should like reward each other with money when we take part in each others hobbies, based on how long you play or read." He surprisingly says, " OK, let's do it. I love that idea!" Me and my big old mouth, I now get to play video games and.....uh....enjoy it.

Then I told him, " You know, if you read a book of my choosing you get double points." And he's like, " Oh really, and would the same go for me? I choose a game for you to play and so you can do it too?" He got me there. =( You see, the problem with that is he loves games that are full of shooting, dragon crap, not shooting dragon crap...well maybe it honestly wouldn't surprise me. The newest game he has been raving about is Little Big Planet. It's about a sock puppet or something who goes around and fights things that look like he's in a deranged toy store. He gets excited when new outfits come out for his sock puppet to wear....yeah so...he'll probably pick that one for me to play since I bitch about how irritating the music is. I'll keep you posted. Pray for me.
