So today I found myself standing in line at Target. As I sometimes do. And on this particular day, I noticed that not only were there Target gift cards, there were gift card BOXES in which to present the gift cards. Cute, sparkly and ribbon-covered boxes for $2.99 each. And I thought, "What kind of an a** pays $3 for a gift card box?"
And then I looked down at my own basket. ...Probably the same kind of a** who buys $5 worth of wrapping materials for one present.
... Five minutes later, I very much stumbled and crashed onto the pavement while chasing down the receipt for the aforementioned gift. In front of a truck.
God, I'll be glad when Christmas is over.
Memai - Hiiiiz! heart heart
Much, much later:
So, much as I hate to use the guild as a blog, I need to say this to an intelligent group of people.
Today I was talking to my coworker about the warm weather (60 degrees Fahrenheit) and voicing my concerns about global warming. He said that it's all a cycle, he saw it on some show or other, and the planet will be fine. I told him that Steven Hawking had suggested humans begin colonizing other planets because we are bound to destroy this one. My coworker said "Who's Steven Hawking?"
I can accept that from him; he's an idiot. I turned to another coworker. "Steven Hawking. Who is he?"
Blank stare. You're kidding me.
Next cubicle. "Who is Steven Hawking?" "Why, did you get an email from him? What's wrong?!"
Next. "Tell me who Steven Hawking is." Nothing.
And the next.
Then, my boss's office. "Steven Hawking. Tell me you know who he is."
Bewildered smile and shake of the head.
Oh...my god. I asked 8 people all over the building, and none had any idea. Well, one man said he was the founder of Scientology and that I was wrong in telling him, "No, that was L. Ron Hubbard."
Anyone else think I should quit? I polled my friends; they said yes. My brother told me to get out immediately. Now I'm asking you.
Is it not safe for AyDee to work in an environment in which Steven Hawking's name rings no bells whatsoever?

AD :: I say the following unto thee! Quit your job and move to the wilderness of Montana where, armed only with a laptop and a pair of good headphones, you can finally attempt to be brilliant and perhaps accomplish something of interest far, far away from the idiotic masses! THIS SHALL BE THE BIRTH OF THE REAL-LIFE GASOC! who knows? maybe they MIGHT prints us in shirts if all goes as planned! ninja heart
and yes. Firefox has a spell-checker. I've been using it ever since I came back, but I'm thinking you probably haven't noticed until now? surprised exclaim
(and so you know...they could probably have not known who 'Steven Hawking' is, because the person you're actually trying to infer about is 'Stephen Hawking' sweatdrop )
Koji :: you wanting cookies from a pirate's pocket 's one thing... another totally different one is eating the cookies, since, obviously, they're parrot-feed... most likely. xd
Ashram :: fyi, this is the person A.D. was asking about at work. ninja
Memai :: GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR GRAND DEBUT, MEMAI! gonk heart ... make sure to stay away from smelly people, and bring lots of febreeze...apparently some nerds can't tolerate the scent, so if they bother you, spray 'em like it were pepper spray! ninja heart

AHHHH! Back from the con. Booth was so close to the speakers that I had to YELL at people for them to hear me gonk
Anyway, I don't have the pics now, but when I do get them *prods editor* I'll post 'em up for all shameless, viewing pleasure 8D; I had a great time, a little exhausting, but 'twas a blast whee We didn't sell as much products as we were aiming for ( sad ), but I guess that's what happened when you're placed between a famous (but closely-related ninja ) group and a booth that's bombarded with Cardcaptor and Ouran High School.
Met a lot of nice people, the Ouran cosplayers (a one, Hunny-senpai) were hillarious xd They kept proding the panda plushie from my booth table XD
"Eee! Kuma-chan! *poke* Kuma-chan! *poke* KUMA-CHAN! *poke*" "She'll bite you!" "Mean Kuma-chan *pout*"
Ehh, what else? OOH! I GOT TO FONDLE A LITTLE DOLLFIE HE WAS FSCKING ADORABLE! heart I've also got some neat little merchandise from other booths, I'll be sure to take some pics of those as well ninja AND! For those who are muchly interested in buying my group's books... All the info needed is right here! whee heart
