Hasek Askes For Croutons
I [as most of you may know] work at Tops, on French and Transit. At 4:45pm I decided to go on my break, as I was due for a half an hour of putzing around in the supermarket. As I was heading towards the break room... a skinny man wearing a sabers fleece, Adidas pants, and a baseball cap with a stubbly beard came up to me and in rather broken English asked "Can you help me find the croutons?" First I had to think for second, as the man's English was rather hard to understand, and at first I though he asked me something about soda pop. I asked him once again what he was looking for and he said "Croutons, the dressing you would put over a salad" and I was like "Ah! Yes! Croutons!" Since I had absolutely no idea in-the-hell where croutons were in Tops, I grabbed a near by store directory. I found out that they were in isle 3 and I lead the nice man over. As we walked over, I made small talk and I said something to the fact "Hey, I noticed you have an accent, where are you from?" he looked at me and said "Check" At first thought I thought he meant he wanted me to check out where the croutons were, but then I realized he meant he was from Checzk (sp) After that I apologized and told him I was new and I have yet to figure out where a lot of the stuff is... he sorta laughed at me and told me he understood, and mentioned that he has trouble finding where stuff is in supermarkets as well. After walking half way in isle three, we found the croutons. He thanked me; and I said buh-bye to him. AND THAT"S WHEN IT ALL HIT ME!! DOMINIC HASEK ASKED ME WHERE TO FIND THE CROUTONS!!! It all clicked! Tall sabers fleece, jacket and the stubbly beard.. and WOWOWOWOWOOW!!!!!!!!! !!!!!! i never really watched a hockey game or anything but I have seen a couple of pictures of him... and HE ASKED ME WHERE THE CROUTONS WERE!! I"M FARMOUS!
lifes a journey Tops, once more... I was handing out Safe-T suckers to the little kiddies running around the store. I came across one young girl, and it looked as though she has the chicken pocks. I went up to her and offered her a sucker, and she picked a one out from my great big box of suckers. I looked up at her mother and asked her if she had the chicken pocks. She looked at me and told me that he daughter has a very, extremely rare case of leukemia. She [and her sister] are one in twelve kids that were born with this rare genetic disease in the US. That mother proceeded to tell me that her children will know if they'll live a normal life until they reach puberty... normal as in if these young girls would live or not. Her groceries were packed, and I looked at the mother and told her that she'll be in my thoughts and prayers. This lady, this perfect stranger came up to me and hugged me and said "You know, you have no idea how much that really means to me."
bad walk
I was at my good friend chris' house and after a rather eventful evening i decided i should go home a early since it is my allergy season and i could really use the rest. I went out the backdoor, the same way i came. I hoped over his fenced in deck and looked left and right; fog was all over. It was so scary, every step i took on the wet, rained on soggy grass felt like i was sinking lower and lower into the ground. when i finally reached solid unsinkable ground.. it occurred to me that there were sewers on the ground... and..I swear, i thought It was going to stick his arms out and pull me in, down under with him I kept having to look back and glance all different direction and then i tried walking backward, but this didn't work out because i thought i stepped on my shoe laces, but when i looked down my shoes laces... and they were both to high up above the ground to have possibly been tripped on.. and all i could think of was It, It did it... It was so terrible. When i finally got to my house i searched my pockets nervously in hopes to find a house key, but none was found. SO this ment that i had to hope that the back door was open,, or i'd have to ring on the doorbell a hundred million and a half times until someone decided to open it. When i finally got to my driveway, i thought someone was behind the white car. i was all alone in the fog practically the dead of meadow lakes night with the fear of It and a follower all alone and i thought and i feared and it was so terrible it was so so so bad
Hello Kitty Let's go to West Virginia. Sam was driving at tops speeds down the highway and i was semi-saftly buckeled in the back seat, as they say when in an auto-crash, you are more likely to survive if you aren't sitting the front. Out of almost nowhere, a black and white cat crosed the busy high way street and Jon said
"Slow down! Let's go back and get the cat!! It'll die!"
Sam didn't bother to stop. We got back to Sams and i think that night we watched "The Red Violin". The next morning when we went to the mall, there was the black and white cat, laying on the ground... lifelessly. Jon looked at Sam and yelled
"Don'tcha wish yah woulda stoped? YOU KILLED THE CAT!"
It was Friday a about two minutes after 3:30 [the end of my high schools day] and my good friend Speaking [aka Greg] asked me to go to the home EC room to bring home a can of whipped cream... in fear that he'd have to go alone, and i'd never let him fear like that; ever! We husseled down the halls in the opposite direction of the school buses to fetch the can of whipped cream. Finally, when we got into the room Greg opened the fridge door and he looked around and said "Here we are, alone in a room with a can of whipped cream. Now let's take advantage of this situation!" I never laughed so hard! We exited the room and made way to our busses,. During out stupid nothingless conversations that we have [aren't they great?] we were talking about something that pretained to my personal next favorite thing that my dear friend now says... "It's not where you want to go, it's what you do when you get there!". You may not think they're funny... Jesus man.... you gotta admitt that the second quote is true!
Me and a good friend were walking through the halls of Clarence High School in the "pre-school hours". As we entered the ::play errie music:: the freshmen hall... All of them little snot ridden underclassmen were romping about one another.... ahhh what was i getting at again? Ah, yes... a rather large freshmen came up to us with a money stuffed bottle. He looked at us and asked "Would you like to donate money to the Save Harnish Foundation'?" [Harnish is a boy who rights underground newspapers for Clarence High School.] I looked at him and i said "Stop trying to save other people, and try saving yourself".
It was two point six minutes after the last bell had rung for school; and i was at my locker along with Speaking . As various people passed us and said "buh-bye!" A good friend Elsie came up to us to dis-hello us as well. Her hair was in little pig tails that were tied into little balls. When she turned her back and started walking away, Speaking said "Hey, I like your balls!" Elsie without glancing back shouted back "I like yours too!" I laughed extreamly hard.... he looked at me with a red face and said "oh, i get it!"
Turkeys
I was driving on my way to swim practice in the morning to work with my mother... [she needed to use the car after i went to work] and on the road, all of a sudden we saw somthing in the bushes... something big.. something alive.. something feathery... IT WAS A GIGANTIC TURKEY!!! And my mother and i started chuckeling as the massive turkey started wobbeling across the road! Then, behind the turkey, little turkletts [what do you call baby turkeys?] were following behind the HUGE turkey. My motther and i were laughing so hard, because it was just so unexpected to be stoped on the road by a family of turkeys! Then i started asking my mom turkeyish questions like "why did the turkey cross the road" and she said "Because andrea was driving" Then she asked me what i would have done if i hit the turkey and i said "we woulda had an early thanksgiving dinner!" And well... our sence of humor is a bit on the "other side" of things... but if you don't think is is funny... then... I guess yah had to be there!

Anyways, we were all sitting upstairs [so much more freedom up in the balcony] THEN... all of a sudden BEN suddenly jumps sparatically up in to the air and starts running across the balcony to the stiars, runs down the stairs... runs around the auditorium [people are sayin "BEN, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!!??" but benny keeps running] then up the stairs, runs around the balcony again and then down stairs and then comes back up stairs, RUNNING just as fast.... and then sits down, EXAUSTED. Painting for air and a mucky yucky face.... I look over to my good friend Benny Baluba and ask "Why did you do that?" Benji looks at me and starts to say... "You know when dogs get excited, they start running around crazy...?"
........That's Benji for yah...
Spike Christmas time!
My boyfriend, Michael got me a fish as one of my Christmas presents [awe, how sweet!] Anyways, I named him Spike, since it was the closest I could get his name to Mike, with out calling him Mike!
Wellll, Spike got pregresivly cooler as the days went on, i mean.. I had a shark in my fish tank!! How cool is that?
Anyways, on Christmas Day, Spike learned a realy REALLY neat trick! He litterally stood up. The bottom of his fins touched the bottom of the fish tank, and he stood vertically. It was amazing. In my entire life, I've never seen a fish do that, to be specific; a shark... MY shark! I think he was learning his new trick of standing up, because he gets to see ME stand up all the time, and i guess he wanted to be like his amazing owner:)
Anyways, they Day-After-Christmas came around and I had a ton of erens to do with my Daddykins. When i got home, I went to go look at my fishies!
....low-and-behold...
Spike learned a new trick..
one that he was terribly good at...
except maybe he learned this trick from one of my dogs...
because this time... he was "playing dead" ::Flush::
the car won't stop accelerating!! It was Christmas Eve, and my sister and I were going to Mass. On our way to the Church, we were having a bit of car troubles.. the car wouldn't stop accelerating. We stoped for the red light, and BRROOOooooOOoooOOOm went the motor, while my sister and i feared that our little blue car was gonna ram into the back of the nice white SUV infront of us!! So, we decided it would be smart of us to go into Tops [a grocery market] to call our Dad to come tell us what was wrong with the car. So, we went into Tops and used the phone, and a man; was waiting patiently behind us and as i tured around, he asked me by any chance if we had any jumper cables. I told him i'd be right back with them if we had them. So i went to our little blue car and yup yup yup, there were jumper cables in the back. So to make a long story short, this man was increadibly happy that we got him out of this situation. I think he had to be somewhere, something important, either way he was VERY happy. Mary Ann and I ended up being about 5 minutes late for Church... but it was soo cool to have helped someone out by pure fluke of chance...
