So I got done with work, went to say Hi to my cousin at the bar she works at, and got a wild hair to go buy Beatles Rock Band with tip money I had received.
See, yesterday, we were playing the game and the xbox got kicked over. This is what happens when drunk people play video games. The disc I had got scratched super bad. I had a premonition... I just thought "Why in the world would that fall over?" Stupid me.
So I ventured to Walmart, too tired to drink, converse, or be social with friends, I figured I'd scour the empty store and get the game, go back home, etc.
I didn't realize it was New Moon release day. Not like there was a bunch of people in there... just a few really annoying teenagers... they were just ridiculous. I can't even explain. Also, they were doing a running commentary on the Batman demo game... wow. They aren't very smart, witty or funny. But they sure as hell thought they were.
As far as me being in there during a release of a Twilight Saga movie... yeah wouldn't have planned that. (And its making me hate the word "saga" because its always mentioned as the Twilight Saga in the media. Saga. Barfa.)
Its the principle. I now look like some deranged twilighter who needs New Moon right now. And I'm not ripping on the franchise. People love it. People that I love love it. I just think that too much hype of anything is irritating. I couldn't even hear the name "Britney" for quite a while because I got overload of Ms. Spears. I don't think that teeny bopper fiction books are a horrible thing. even with the unrealistic expectations or scenarios. Yes, no one does anything naughty. Whatever. I'd rather have teenage girls waiting to have sex with someone than just doing it with some douchebag boyfriend who says they should. Its not a horrible mark on society like some would have it made out to be. It's not properly written. Well, its a teen novel series. Its not a Greek epic. Its not meant for adults either, though it is widely enjoyed by adults.
So I work around the small scatterings of people and find the games I want in the case.
So I get the guy to unlock the thing for me. There's a woman with her 2 copies of New Moon, some poster thing, and a shitty look on her face at the register. I walk up with the clerk. Note. The clerk has my games. He begins ringing them up. I am using cash for Beatles and my debit card for the other, reduced price game. The woman sniffs at this. You know, that sound coming out of someone's nose that says "Oh, REALLY she gets to go first?" I just went along with what the clerk is doing. Mind you, the guy has a mild disability. I'm willing to be patient. Not Ms. Nasal cavity chorus. She starts to make more audible sounds. and shes standing like within a foot of me. Its making me uncomfortable. at this point I don't know what the fuck she wants me to do. And continuing to shuffle her feet and sigh loudly, sniffing, exhaling, whatever the fuck she's doing is getting aggravating.
So he isn't the fastest clerk in the world. Give the guy a break. She starts snorting. I am serious that is the only way to explain that sound. I just want to clock her alongside the head... but more than that, I want to get the fuck away and go play video games in solace.
I really hate people sometimes.
