Tonight, in the midst of doing homework (and other unimportant things), Crystal and I decided to go to Wal-Mart to get ketchup. While we're there, we started looking at the Halloween candy and attempted to choose what kind we would buy to hand out tomorow night. So much to choose from! Chocolate toes and exploding blood balls! The candy industry has definately evolved since my younger days. So Crystal picks up a bag of pixie stix. I am reminded of a bumper sticker I saw once.
"Pixie Stix. Because not every kid can afford crack."
I commented on this, and shortly after, we started finding other drug references in the candy isle: Mary Jane Peanut Butter Chews and Dubble Bubble Gum (Our hall director can be credited for this one, as he is the one who told us that he laces it with cocaine before putting it in the hall candy dish) just to name a couple. This cute Jeremie guy, a Wal-mart employee, walked by and kinda looked at us all somehow as we laughed at all this. I have become alot more outspoken this year, and so I (loudly) made the comment that he probably thought we were druggies. He look over and smiled. When I asked him how long he had been listening, he explained that he heard the word "druggie" and just had to look. *smile*
After this, another employee came over and we all discussed candy. Finally, we made our selections and walked off. We stalled a bit, hoping to see "that cute guy" again. Crystal pointed out to me that we probably gave a couple people somthing to talk about when they got home. Just then, I noticed Jeremie behind us.
"Are you gonna talk about us when you get home?" I ask. He said he would, if that's what we wanted. Then I invited him to trick-or-treat at our place. (I can think of so many lines I could have used, if only I had thought of them at the time...)
I'm so glad that I have become more outspoken now. Its a great way to meet people. You know, if it wasn't more me, I'd never meet anyone new!
