Walmart Challenge

“Cinnamon gets my rock off every time”

Time: 2:58AM – Just got back from Walmart. We are sitting or moving around in the living room of my friend’s apartment.

Time: 2:50AM – Just entered the apartment. I had checked facebook and I think if I remember correctly, Bart had sent me a message at 7PM-ish with a face – like eyebrow.

Time: 2:27AM – Checking in at the register. My friend goes first to check his stuff out. It was nice of him to buy the teas and one cereal. So I guess some of the pills were his not that I was really paying attention to that. The people behind us in line were really annoying. I think it was a guy and a girl. A gay guy? I didn’t check. It was awkward.

Time: 3:01AM – Offered cereal. Yes, I shall have some cereal.

Time: 1:20AM – first time check – don’t quite remember what happened

Time: 1:24AM – started walking to walmart.

Time: 1:46AM – arrived at walmart and looked at the fruits section. My friend got apples and oranges.

Time: 1:52AM – started looking at things such as teas – picked out which ones I would get – ended up with something like Vanilla Chai and Honey Vanilla Chamomile. Saw that vanilla chai is a black tea. Second highest caffeine.

Time: 1:59AM – checked out crackers. Forgot which one we ended up getting. Ritz whole wheat? Looked at Club and the other one.

Time: 2:05AM – looked at chocolate. Got dark chocolate (well, my friend did at least)

Time: 2:15AM – Macklemore started playing. Thriftshop. Then we were also looking at the supplements. Ended up getting some. Then getting caffeine.

Then we got milk and then headed to the register. Slowly.
Time: 3:06AM – Now, back at the apartment. About to eat cereal.

The paranoia that rises when one smokes. It’s really intense. Seriously. Apparently, if I remember correctly, my friend and I are going to smoke cigarettes some time. There was some talk about picking up cigarette butts off the ground to smoke them still (if I remember correctly). Let’s see how this night started off (it is now the following morning – so this is all in retrospect and may or may not be accurate).

Before heading to Walmart. Smoking through a bong. Not really feeling anything, so I decided to lie down on the bed so that my head was hanging off. Closed my eyes, breathed in deeply, or tried to at least. Started feeling the effects. Not as bad as the last time. At some point, I used the bathroom. We were in the living room. I asked for water. I chose a brown plastic cup. (This might have been after we got back from Walmart actually). We’re doing a different version of the backward dog. Is that what it’s called? Or is it like upside down dog? I’m not sure. That one yoga pose though. There’s something about the blood flowing to your head and something about carbon dioxide opening your blood vessels. It took us a while to actually get to Walmart. Meh. It was fun though, yet scary. The walk there… and the walk back… is terrifying. I get so paranoid that there might be some serial killer on the loose just waiting for us. And how would we react? Two high kids unaware of what’s going on. Would I be able to feel the knife slice my arm? Who knows. Good thing I’m still alive though.  Well, we’re still alive. In the first couple minutes of walking, we passed by two people near the bus stop. And I didn’t want them to know that we weren’t sober, so I kept my distance. But, anyway. So, we walked to Walmart and got a cart. I kept my purse/bag on my persons because I didn’t feel it was safe enough to put in the cart. If someone stole it, I wouldn’t have been able to do much. Only one side of the store  (doors speaking) was open. It was like one in the morning so that makes sense. When we got to the tea aisle, we encountered our first person (pretty much). It was a Walmart employee and it totally seemed like he was staring. “He knows!” But anyway, we spent a while looking at teas. I was trying to figure out which ones I would actually enjoy trying. There’s Vanilla Chai, fruity ones, peppermint, lemon, green, chamomile, Lipton. I say something like how the fruity ones sound nice, but I don’t think I’m ever really in the mood to drink them, not that they’re bad or anything. We ended up getting those two (Vanilla Chai and Honey Vanilla Chamomile if you forgot). We looked at cereals. I forgot to mention that. I wasn’t sure which “high-fiber” cereal I should get. We ended up getting two boxes, but there was one that sounded more interesting to me than the other, and the other also just looked like pet food (cat/dog food). But my friend said that the taste is worth it. Like, what it lacks in aesthetic, it makes up for in taste. Something like that, maybe. Or maybe I’m just making that up. And then I also got a guilty pleasure of Oops! All Berries, Capt’n Crunch cereal. :D After that, we looked at crackers. There’s Town House and Club. We’re seeing which ones are fit for peanut butter. I was thinking that the Town House Toppers multigrain would be good, maybe, but I’m not really sure. I was going to say Ritz was good originally, but I wasn’t sure if my friend wanted that one or a different one, since there was Ritz at his place at one point. We ended up with Ritz, and then we went to check out some chocolates. I thought he meant the Lindt type chocolate, but we ended up looking at chocolate bars. I think there was a Belgian chocolate bar that looked nice because it was big and had a pink wrapper. It was dark chocolate, but I think it was also sweetened. I think my friend got an 85% dark chocolate cacao bar thing. It wasn’t Lindt, but some brand that I’m not quite familiar with. Then we headed to the supplements aisle. I forget what song was playing at the time (it was a song I knew – they were actually playing pretty decent music the whole time we were there though), but then Macklemore’s Thrift Shop came on and I thought of my other friend. I looked at the different supplements. Daily vitamins. Caffeine. (Immediately before finding the caffeine, I had a bit of trouble finding my friend, even though the caffeine/Tylenol/headache/pain reliever medicine was two aisles down). I actually wasn’t sure if my friend was there, but I just had a moment where I was like: caffeine is probably with the pain relief medicine! And he just happened to be there. He really could have been anywhere else. Anyways, we got things like Korean gingko or something like that, fish oil, etc. etc. He got things like St. John’s Worts and motion sickness pills? I guess. Whatever floats his boat. And then we almost forgot the milk, but good thing I remembered. The lady at the register was nice. I’m pretty sure it was register 15. It was the only lighted register. All the self-checkout ones were closed. And then we walked back to his apartment. Good thing we got milk. We ate some cereal that he already had. It was some berries one. I think the brand is Kashi. It’s not the Go Lean one or whatever. It’s like frosted mini wheats except healthy. Healthier? But yeah. Had some of that. We had some cinnamon almonds. Right, he got that also. Eventually, we went to his bedroom and laid down and stuff. He eventually left! That jerk! Whatever! Haha, just kidding, but whatever. I guess I snore. It’s not my fault! But apparently he had a hard time sleeping with all the light and whatnot. I was falling asleep at like 4 in the morning, maybe 5ish. Or maybe 5ish is when he left the bed to the couch. But then I woke up at about 9-10ish. The friend that I’m staying with (that lives closeby) texted me saying that I better not be late for the bus. We’re going to our favorite café because it re-opens today. I want my quiche! But yeah, I got up at about that time. My friend was still asleep on the couch. I didn’t want to wake him, but I was bored. I eventually got my book from my bag and read some. (Ellen DeGenere’s Seriously… I’m Kidding). And then eventually got my laptop to try and relay some of this stuff to ya. And then we laid in bed at some point. And then I had to get ready to get back to my other friend’s place because my stuff is there. I kind of wanted to try the cereal and the teas, but it’s cool. Maybe some other time. Things always are on my mind, so yeah.

But yes. That’s the gist up ‘til now. Hope you enjoyed the long, tedious story of me trying to remember things.

P.S. The paranoia is real bad. Real, real bad if you didn’t catch that before. Everyone knows!
