I'm bored. And caffeinated. I went to the mall tonight after work.
I can't remember the last time I was at the mall. Wait. It was, I think, last fall with Mark and Jenn. We had a giddy good time in the dollar store, and I bought one of those strips of suckers. Those suckers that are with and have clear, coloured pieces in them. As soon we left the store and entered the mall, this kid came running up to me. He looked up and reached for my suckers, pleading. I looked up, questioningly, and saw his mother sitting on one of those purple chairs, and asked her with my eyes if I could give him one. She nodded. I gave him one. We talked about that kid's cute little face for awhile that night.
Tonight was my first time Christmas shopping. Like every year, I bought a box of cards a couple of weeks ago, but I haven't sent any yet. It's too late now.
I went shopping with my dad and my boyfriend. It's the first time I've seen my dad in 3 years, or so. Each year I talk to him less and less. And it's all my fault. And I can't explain it. For no reason at all, except that I don't phone people. It's weird, I try to change it. But when it's been so long, I feel guilty for not calling, and I want it to be the right time. So it never ends up happening.
I bought most of my presents tonight. I'm stuck on the women. And the step-siblings. They live in Dartmouth. But, I haven't spoken to them in 3 and a half years, either. Dartmouth. It's pretty far away.
Anyway, I'm gonna watch Night of the Living Dead.

night of the living dead rocks. dawn of the dead, and day of the dead are pretty cool too (if you like zombie movies). i love the tragic ending of night of the living dead, it's just so brutal and simple.

robin: it does indeed rock. I had always thought I'd seen it and fallen asleep through it, but when I watched it, it was all new to me. Perhaps I saw the remake. You got that right about the ending. I said to KC, right before that bullet was fired, and said "but they're just shooting everybody!! How do they know they're not survivors?!" And then they did what would actually happen. Shot the survivor.
emily: I'm not glad I went to the mall, but I'm glad I saw you there. My dad really likes the cd.
