You never know when it's going to hit, when that moment you've been anticipating with gleeful dread will happen. For me, it was today at the mall. I went to my favorite upscale outdoor mall today to return something and was dismayed to discover that, not only did a lot of people also have the day off, but it was all the people I hate. The wealthy-giant-stroller-pushing mommies, the gaggles of teenage snot, the PEOPLE, they were EVERYWHERE. Hate. Ugh.
Anyway, I was stomping towards the Gap when it happened. Silver Bells. Oh yes, my friends, that dirge of Christmas future! It was being piped into the outdoor mall. (How do they even do that?) Silver Bells is extra specially special for me though, because at one point in my life it was my #1 favorite mode of torture. I'd call my friend Ashley up (or she'd call me) and sing,
"SILVER BELLS. SILVER BELLS. IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME...IN THE CITYYYYYY."
Then I'd hang up.
Let that marinade for a second.
What's stuck in your brain? What will be stuck in your brain until CHRISTMAS?
Hahahahaaa. Sucker.
You are evil! All I have to say is..."I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy" try and get that one out!
ReplyDeleteThis is just getting cruel now. Cruel. The grocery store was insane last night, the hordes of the hated herds jamming every aisle and avenue, but besides Mongolian BBQ for dinner, which was, thankfully, a ghost town, that was our only attempt to venture forth besides stupid work.
ReplyDeleteGAHHHHH!! I was sucked in...I just clicked on your little linky and...it was totally unexpected... Is it really that time yet??? Holy Christmas Sweater.
ReplyDeleteAlright, here goes...
RING-A-LING!
Happy?
(Oh, and don't get me started on the bitch-ass moms with the $900 strollers...)
I was just thinking about how best to avoid the holiday music until 24 December. IMHO it is not appropriate until then. Okay, maybe 23 December. You & C have a nice holiday with all your peoples. I hope no other sappy holiday carols take up residence inside your brain...
ReplyDeleteI've been annoyed since Nov.1st when I was in the evilest of all stores (wal-mart) and heard them playing Christmas music. ON NOVEMBER 1ST! Come the fuck on. Argh.
