I like Nickelback....Photograph is a good song...I like Jock Rock.....I am okay with that now.

I think I am done with the holidays. They can be over now. After spending the last week and a bit getting sworn at, insulted and mistreated, I can officially say Christmas is the worst holiday o the year. People do not act like normal humans during the Christmas season, in fact Christmas is notorious for providing polar extremes. On the one hand you have the excessively happy Christmas idealist, who is annoyingly chipper and is most lkely to spout the phrase, "Jesus is the reason for the season." Oh yeah, and they probably grew up as an unreformed CLA kid. The other extreme is super-angry-swear-face person, who is looking for any and all reasons to hate on everyone. Maybe in the world outside of the mall people are more balanced, but within the land of Mall people can generally fit into one of those two categories. Mall people are nuts....and annoying....so:

Top 5 Annoying Mall People:
1. Angry debit machine people. Gosh these people are nucking futs. They take one look at our 25 cent surcharge (which isn't our surcharge....long story) and flip out. It ussualy involves swearing, the slamming down of our debit machine and the proclamation of the illegality of the situation.
2. The helicopter guy. He has a booth over by the Santa display, and I swear his only job is to yell, "It comes back every time," whenever he pulls the little helicopter toys string, which is about very minute to a minute and a half. I want to knock the darn thing out of the air and yell, "No! It is not coming back! Ever!"
3. Stupid line people. Sometimes, we only have one of our two tills open. This is signified by every one lining up at one till and me being the only person in the store. Yet in spite of this, there is always that one person who lines up at the other till, and when you inform that tills closed, they get angry because...well, I'm not sure why. It is not my fault that they suck at problem solving. In fact they remind me of the kid in high school who thought Canada was part of the States and Bill Clinon was our leader. Just not very bright.
4. Agressive kiosk people. They literally try and tackle you to get there product some mention. I don't want dead sea lotion to rub on my face. Especially after you have accosted me for the billionth time that day.
5. Angry refund people. This ussualy invoves having somethng thrown at me (I have recently had a hot dog thrown at me), pouring drinks down our drink bin (not where you pour drinks) or just generally treating people poorly rather than letting us help them to make them happy.

Dan as far as interpreting your dream.....it is fairly simple: There will be a famine of air gel in seven years, so in order to keep your family proteted from this famine you should stockpile haircare products. Now, about half that kingdome....can I exchange it for cash or credit?

I chew on things alot. I think it's a logical extension of my fidgitiness. Although a cute girl once told me that according to Freud, I have an oral fixation. I told her that Freud is creepy. We're probably both right.

Only two more days of work. Then Christmas/wedding. Then I come back on my own, no more help from Darrel. That will be intense.

I had this crazy dream last night. I got my haircut yesterday evening, and I bought this stuff for my hair. And in my dream, I was at this fancy dinner in a big gym. It was kind of like a Summit banquet, but in crazy dreamland. So everything was a little different. And my dad and youngest brother were there. Anyways, I went to the washroom. And there was this guy playing guitar in the washroom for some reason. I was at the mirror checking my hair and stuff, and then I left. Later on I realized I had left my hair stuff in the washroom. I went back to find it. But I couldn't find it anywhere. Guitar guy hadn't seen it, nor had random people that I talked to. I was getting all stressed out because for some reason I was supposed to be with my family, and I had been gone for like 15 minutes or something. It was really stressful. And that's pretty much where it ended.

I will give anything, even up to half my kingdom, for the one who can offer an interpretation of this dream.

Christmas is almost here...
But (drum roll please) even more exciting, the wedding has reached the less-than-a-month countdown. I realized that I never blog anymore and I think the reason is that all that I have on my mind lately is wedding stuff. And as exciting as that can be to me, I understand that the general public may not always share in the joy of finding the perfect tablecloths for the reception. But here I am anyways. From now until Christmas my days will be filled with 30-40 hour weeks at Starbucks in the mall (of all places to be during Christmas), church and youth Christmas events, hair and make-up consultations, pre-marital counselling, dance lessons (perhaps), planning, planning and more planning. So if I am hard to get a hold of, don't take it personally or that I have become the typical bridal-snob. I really am just very busy! I am even working on Christmas day. This is a first for me. I think it shall be good - help to keep my head level so I don't go crazy in those last few days. Oh, how I wish the day were finally here! And then to go away on our trip. That is what I am so excited about. A vacation together. After so many months of hard work and planning, to finally be together 24/7 away from everyone and everything (not that you're not all great you know...err...) Let's just say, that despite the busyness and crazyness of this time, I am one happy girl. And I am only getting happier and happier as the day draws nearer. Do you remember back to 2 or 3 years ago? Oh how much things have changed. I really laugh when I think about all that went on and what we went through - well, not at the pain - but the greater plan that was out there for us. Because looking back now, I wouldn't have had it any other way. Things worked out just perfectly! Maybe not all fairy-tale like, but who says fairy-tales are perfect anyways?
