Rush Night

Tomorrow is a White Elephant Christmas party in Advanced Acting. This is a potluck present party where everyone takes turns either taking a new gift or steals someone else's. A lack of working transportation all week has made today the day to buy a bunch of useless knickknacks and wrap them all in a one-hour time span.

            I get home from school. I spend several hours doing homework, chores, keeping the fires going, and generally trying to entertain myself 'til Mom gets home. She comes home with dinner, so of course I have to eat. This takes another half hour. This also leaves about an hour to get to Bi-Mart before it closes. We get there with fifteen minutes left, which was exactly how long it takes me to run through the useless holiday crap and toy departments, find a large bag of munchies to hand out to my other friends, run into and chat with Glasses, and pay for every thing. Mom and I then pile into the truck and come home with just enough time to wrap every thing in a duct tape/ wrapping paper abomination, then sit down here, at 11 pm, to tell all you people about Rush Night.

            The moral of the story: Mom doesn't like the evil, friend-of-Chucky looking nutcracker ornament.
