Aliens Invading OfficeMax




(if you look really closely at the lady behind the red rack, you can see her blue face...)
Hooooly shi&. I don't even know where to start. I must first apologize for my typing being not grammatically correct and half the words spelled wrong becuase i'm typing to fast to get this all down that it'll prbly be all sloppy. so sorry.




Ok first things first. After i eat my wonderful pb&j sandwhich from j, i head over to customer service where e is standing. She is straightening some papers very very slowly when she (also very slowly) turns to me and says, "dude... that lady is blue."




So i turn around and look down the center aisle. sure enough!!! SHE'S BLUE!! LIKE A LEGIT BLUE! i immediatley start almost hyperventilating. there is a lady in OMX who is walking around and she has blue skin.!!!! Of course i hurry and snap a picture.




Next, luke is up there too and this man comes in. ok. this man definitly has something wrong with him. He has a FULL beard. like half way down his neck, has some weird gum disease in which he has no teeth whatsoever. and he smells SOOOO bad i literally had to hurry and walk away really fast to e. so luke is all weirded out so he sends the new guy, sam, to watch this newest weirdo addition to OMX to make sure he does'nt swipe some shi.




Meanwhile, a very elderly man walks in with who i'm guessing is his grandson. Now the grandson has carrot red hair and his doing that techno energy ball move and he's walking around OMX. at this point, me and e are totally bewildered trying to figure out what the hell is going on. Luke walks by and was like "i was gonna ask c. if WOW was down tonight becuase all the weirdo's are in here." HAHAH of course this makes me and e. bust up laughing. but it gets better.




So eventually the stinky gum disease man peaces out and the very elderly man and techno-energy-ball grandson come to the register. The man thanks us, tells e and me and we are excellent employees and walks out the first automatic door. before the door has a chance to close, the man walks back in. he comes to me and e at the register, sits down ON the register, and begins to tell us about how he used to work for the IRS and how its not personal anymore. me and e are used to odd costumers telling us stories, so we just sit htere and nod our heads and say, "oh really? wow, yeah. wow. yeah. great!" stuff like that. so finally he heads out the first door again.




BUT before it has a chance to close fully, he COMES BACK IN!! sits on the register again, and, while muching on a york patty, tells us how he once bought a bag of chocolate for a crossing gaurd who was nice to him. by now, me and e are shaking trying so hard not to laugh. my face was bright red from holding my breath and laughing inside, and e and i know that we can NOT look at eachother. so he finally leaves, and we both just start crying. like skip the whole laughing till you cry part, we just went straight to the crying. we were laughing SOOOOOO hard. it was nuts. so. that was our night. there's more, but e can post that.

right.

sometimes doniell is like a stray cat, in that she shows up at my house late at night and i feed her and then she leaves. lucky for me, i like cats.
so tonight doniell comes over, and we're sitting in the kitchen discussing our current dating situations.

doniell says, "i'm usually so crazy with this sort of thing!"

"you're learning patience, man." i reply.

she starts making this weird movement with her arms.
"i'm weaving a basket!"

"did you just compare dating to basket weaving?"

this girl is wise beyond her years.

uh, wow.

world of warcraft is probably, no definitely, the nerdiest thing a person can play.
but somehow doniell and i managed to find the two most hardcore world of warcraft players
ever to call our own. this is especially funny because the last thing you will find doniell or i
doing is playing any sort of video game. these facts resulted in the following conversation:

Doniell
i think its so funnythey call it "wow"
Elizabeth
yeah that is mega nerdy
Doniell
hahahhhhahahhah i know. you and i are like high fashion ppl and they play wow
HAHAHAHAH
Elizabeth
ahh that is great
sometimes opposites attract
Doniell
i know. its totally legit.
LIKE DOLCE AND GABANA
Elizabeth
boys get cranky when they play video games i've noticed
tom would be flat out mean when he played grand theft auto
and cory is actually not even talking to me cause he's playing world of warcraft

(and here is probably the best quote ever)
Doniell
dude. wow. hahah!!! not wow as in world of warcraft but wow as in i'm astonished

Legit vs. Ultimate

Now. Recent conversations with a person we shall refer to as "J" have opened my eyes to how lingo evolves over time, and how some people just can't let old phrases go.
When do you use the right word? Well, there are times when "legit" will work (which is most of the time) and there are times when "ultimate" will work. (not super often.)
According to dictionary.com, the definition of the word "legitimate" is as follows: in accordance with the laws of reasoning; logically inferable; logical: a legitimate conclusion.
The definition of the word "ultimate": maximum; decisive; conclusive: the ultimate authority; the ultimate weapon.
The question is, however, in everyday conversation, which do you use? It really depends on the situation. If I were to say, "I have decided not to buy a brand new car just becuase the onbly reason I wanted it was becuase everyone else was buying one." Then the appropriate response would be: "That's legit." However, if I responded to that very same statement with a, "That's ultimate," that would NOT make ANY sense whatsoever.
Now when talking in terms of "greatest things ever," we may sometimes make use of the word "ultimate." But not very often. For example, if I were for some reason talking about vampires and I said, "Yeah a vampire with the powers to fly and go out in the sun and blah blah blah blah blah.......(pretend I just said all these great things about a vampire)" then it would only be legit for one to respond with a, "That would be the ultimate vampire!!''
But if you'll step back with me for a moment and reread the preceeding statement: then it would only be legit for one to respond with a, "That would be the ultimate vampire!!'' If you notice, I had to use the word "legit" to justify using the word "ultimate." This only goes to show that "legit" takes presidence over "ultimate."
I would like to thank J for J's eye opening conversations which have led me to my legit conclusion that "legit" is better than "ultimate."
I rest my case.
