Even pumpkins are better free !
I went outside of Coldstone to take a cigarette break one day while at work. When I opened the door I was bombarded by what seemed like an endless amount of empty boxes sitting on the sidewalk waiting to be crushed. So, I lit up my cigarette and started breaking down all of the boxes. Once I was done, I put all of the broken down boxes into one big box so I could get all of them to the recycling can a few stores down in one trip. I picked up the box that was bigger than me and carried it out to recycling, then decided to be beastly and throw it up and over my head into recycling. After doing this beastly move, I turned around and did the Hulk impression where he brings his arms over his head and flexes. I did this all with a cigarette hanging out of my mouth. Not noticing, a man in a nearby car had been watching the whole time with his window down and was sitting, laughing at my beastly-ness. So I yelled, "be quiet.. you know it was cute!" then ran away back to the store. Also, while working by myself one night "June Gloom" by The Like started playing on our new Coldstone C.D. I blasted it in the back room while singing and dancing like a fool. Thankgod no one came in the store.
We found out at Kourtney Bentley's bonfire, if you throw a donut from Dunkin Donuts in direct flame it will last for almost an hour. It was kind of gross finding out a donut can last in a fire for that long. At about 4 or 5 in the morning we came in from standing around the bonfire and 6 of us fell asleep on the floor in a small hallway after getting kicked out of her bedroom that she shares with her sister because her sister said we smelled like shit from the bonfire. It was cozy on that floor.
I got the part of a complete stoner/hippie in my Theatre II play, "The Achadamee Awards". I'm slightly excited.. and already thinking of what I want my costume to be like. I know I'm going to wear moccasins though, and no one's stopping me.
My school has now had its 4th bomb threat in 2 weeks. One kid was supposedly caught and attempted suicide after being found out. Lake Norman is getting to be too dramatic with all these news worthy happenings! Everyone is starting to think it's going to be like the childrens story Cry Wolf after a while because the board for our school has now made a rule that we don't have to evacuate the school if the administrators don't feel it is a real threat. So, one day a message will be written on a bathroom stall but it will be real and students will die because the administrators don't "feel it's a threat" and that it's just another prank. We are also now required to have an escort to leave the classroom because of all these "pranks". I came to the conclusion it's just a leprechaun running around the school slipping through the air ducts with a sharpie in hand giggling and writing "BOMB" on the bathroom stalls. It's the only reasonable explanation.. I can't think of anyone stupid enough to write a bomb threat FOUR times within days.
After school one day I went to Sarah's house and we made cupcakes and cookies. I made one GIGANTIC cookie and decorated it as a pumpkin. Yeah... it's amazing. I think I might give it to a homeless man so I know it's fully appreciated.
While at Target with Amanda and my Grammie, we split up and I told my Grammie to call my cell phone when she was ready to go. Forgetting my cell phone in the pocket of my jacket in the car we lost my Grammie. This wasn't the walk around and casually find her.. no, this was "shit! we've walked around this store 5 times!" kind of lost. At about the fifth time of circling the store Amanda and I ran into our friend Jennifer while she was working so we asked if she could page over the intercom telling the bitchy old lady to come to where we were. They paged for her and after a few minutes we were reunited with a loud, oppiniated, old lady. We were ecstatic! ...Life Lesson: Don't lose grandparents in Target.
Amanda and I went to Patterson Farms because we were in need of a hayride and some "little kid" fun. It was 5 dollars to get into the farm and then you had to pay for your pumpkin. Instead, I put the pumpkin in my bag and stole a nice little pumpkin. The thing that was so funny about it was not the stealing of the pumpkin but watching me walk around with a pumpkin sticking out of my bag. Who knew a free pumpkin could brighten your day so much ?!?
