It's times like this I question my pride in my humanity.
Most people would say that humans are the most intelligent lifeforms, these people have obviously never been to Wal Mart on the day after Thanksgiving. It all began at 4:00 in the morning when my mother dragged me out of bed to stand in line for a camera for our friend. Okay so I stand there for an half an hour, get a little crowded, but it turns out all right, I get one of the stupid cameras. I guess the guy let us get them a little bit early because I was walking to get to my mom out of the garden center because that was what everyone was talking about. I guess they had these lap tops for $348 or something obscenely cheap like that. Anyway I come around the corner and I hear screaming. My first reaction is wow these people are idiots, then I think oh crap my mom. Now, I knew she wouldn't be one of those people screaming but I could see her being easily trampled. So I start walking just a tad bit faster. I get in there and there is this huge mosh pit style crowd trying to get a hold of one of the 25 computers. Well at first I can't find my mom and that is scary, so I get in the mix. Then I see her and she is okay. Computerless but okay. So then I hear there is a lady underneath the crowd. I had this weird out of body experience where I found my self pulling people off this lady. One woman was saying she was helping her. What I saw was her putting her knee on her to bridge her way to the computer in her grasp. So I pulled her off. Everyone turned out all right for the most part. But I really did lose a little bit of respect for people. It's just stuff! At least when animals fight or whatever it's for survival, I have to say we put ourselves on the bottum of the list when we fight over stuff we don't neccessarily need. Ridiculous.
PS. Obviously I didn't work at Mervyn's this morning, they didn't get my test results back in time.
Also I don't know if any of you remember Rebecca from my freshman year. She did choir and had red hair and glasses? Well she is as rude as ever. She was one of those screaming bangees. Her grandma helped her with her little electric cart too(don't think I am heartless, I saw her get up and walk out of Wal Mart).
