1) Stepping out of the car at Wal-Mart and totally eating it.. then not being able to get back up because it was so freaking slippery. I landed on my hip, but somehow both my knees bruised as well. The jolt of hitting the ground so hard is making me feel like I worked out too hard. My arms and abs are still killing me.
2) Hearing "Reveille" play every single day on post. I am pretty sure we somehow ended up back in the Civil War.
3) Listening to the librarian give a long, detailed story on how she bought a candy bar for $1.00 and didn't realize she handed the girl selling them a $10.00 bill. Apparently, she had to go back and look for a lost glove, so the girl was able to give her back change. She seriously acted like she had given the girl $100 bill. The other librarians all gasped at this story as if it were a life and death situation instead of nine dollars.
4) The "rebel" teenager who walked into Taco Bell. His outfit made him look like a pirate (black bandanna and a hoop earring). His t-shirt had the words "The Man" with an arrow pointing up to his head. And below that? The words "The Legend" with an arrow pointing down. I actually snorted soda up my nose. I really wanted to go up to him and demand proof of this "legend."
5) Hearing that the volcano in Anchorage erupted five times. That isn't entirely funny, but I know they took it off of watch like two weeks ago and it then exploded this past Sunday. It's so comforting to know our natural disaster technology is so accurate. Pbbbt.
6) Listening to two guys discuss the electronic store "Fry's." You would think they were talking about the Fountain of Youth or something.. THAT'S how excited they were. And they've never actually been to one. There isn't even one IN Alaska.
