I would like to apologize in advance for any thing I'm about to say that doesn't make sense. I'm running on very little sleep, and I've been trying to write this post for a few days now. So, instead of procrastinating some more and possibly forgetting the details of my story, I thought I better just sit down and type. So here I am, exhausted from the day, with hot chocolate and my laptop.
I'm going to tell you three adventures that happened at Wal-Mart. Now, here in California, just going to Wal-Mart with the Walmartians is an adventure in itself. But I have three things that happened to me, that makes me ponder the thought of people's attitudes, and also made me laugh on the inside.
Story one- As you know, I'm working on my light show. Wal-Mart, being open 24/7 and a few blocks from my house, is the perfect place to buy late night supplies. And that's just what I did. I went at 9PM, and bought a few boxes of blue LED lights that I needed. I'm checking out, and this was the conversation between me and the cashier:
Cashier: "Is your tree up!?"
Me: "Nope, these are for outside."
Cashier: "Oh. Whatever."
Story two- I'm back, buying more lights. This time it was afternoon, and I had 2 boxes of 300-count icicles. I'm checking out, and the lady behind me says: "Wow! That's a TON of lights!" To which I reply: "Not really, I need 7 more boxes of these." Lady: "WHAT!?" Me: "Yeah, I have over 15,000 lights." *The whole line turns around and stares at me* Me: "Oh, I do a light show." Everyone returns to their normal behavior. Some how me saying I do light shows makes it normal.
Story three- So I'm looking around the Christmas stuff, and I turn around in the isle, and across the little path, on the next isle down, there is a family of 4, who I have never seen before, waving at me. I have no idea why, but I slowly turned around and walked off. Walmartians these days are becoming more and more brave.
