Ah No Pants Day. You were good for a laugh, as always.

Even with Dementor--my new name for the Fanged Geranium--some days... it's totally worth coming to work.

Customer: “Hi, I’m going to the temple today, and I need to get some flowers.”

Me: “Okay, do you want fresh cut flowers or a potted plant?”

Customer: “A potted plant. Tell me, what color do you think God would like today?”

Me: “Excuse me?”

Customer: “Last week I got yellow flowers and I think God liked them, but He might want something else today.”

Me: “Um, I’m pretty sure God is in the mood for red right now.”

Customer: “Excellent. Do you think He wants roses or azaleas?”

Me: “…”


In other news, little Wolf--my puppy--has decided he's not the type to stay at the dorm. He was fine up till now but now, he tries to pretend he's a little whirlwind and destory everything. He does a pretty good job of it too. Managed to sneak him into work, all he wanted to do was follow me around. Had to lock him in the greenhouse so he wouldn't get too close to Dementor.

I ended up finding the path Jules took on Friday. They ended up leading to a spot where, whoever took her, apparated from. She was on her way to the dance. From what I can tell, there were two guys that came upon her. Looks like she fell, so they did something to incapacitate her from a far. After that they dragged her to that spot and... that's all I can tell.

Damn.

I don't suppose any dog could get their scents...I wonder if they're the same exact two guys that have been behind this, or it's a group.

Whelp, it's official. I finally got a pet. I had planned to get him at the adoption day, but, he had actually already been adopted. His last owners returned him because he was being too destructive, supposedly. He was just being a dog, trying to dig and roll in things and chew. Still, it means I can give him a good home. I haven't come up with a name for him yet, but, working on it!

So lately I've been considering getting a pet. I decided to stop by Denizens just to check things out and saw some cute puppies. I thought to myself, 'well, I have a little time, why don't I just play with one for a minute or two. Little guys could use the exercise.' I take out the little bugger... and he proceeds to attempt to maul me. Luckily he was in that inbetween stage where he lost several puppy teeth, so I was only nearly gummed to death.

Now to go try to get his slobber out of my hair.

Ha! To whoever wrote this in the men's bathroom in Snape, thank you. That with the caricature of Professor Mellish, oh god. I almost died laughing. "Some cause happiness wherever they go, some cause happiness whenever they go."

It's snowing! This is awesome. Can't wait to go out and dump snow down my sister's shirts have a snowball fight.

DREW! JULES! Your grandparents want you to come visit sometime!

Dean! You know you can't avoid the inlaws forever. After Christmas you have to come out here. Mom insists.

Gotta say, I'm pretty excited about this whole winter festival thing. Why? One word: FOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! I heard one of the EIK guys talking about all the different food vendors they've got coming in. Now to just figure out what to get the kids for my donation.

Ha! I love it when my mom sends packages! Food from home is always awesome. Dean, I have pie. I am willing to share if you don't run off with it this time. Drew! Grandpa sent you a dream catcher. Dean, he sent you something too. Dave! He didn't forget you! Sent you a good luck charm with a note that says "you'll need it!"

Dear Math,

I am tired of finding your "x". Just accept that she's gone and not comming back. It's better this way for everyone involved. Move on.

My grandfather had a bad fall. Going out for a run if anyone wants to join me.

...Today was... interesting. Got an... unusual customer. The interchange was this:

Me: “Good afternoon, how can I help you?”

Customer: “Can you tell me if you carry Chlamydia?”

Me: *long pause* “Um… I’m sorry, is this a plant you are looking for?”

Customer: “Yes! The pink one. You know, Chlamydia!”

Me: “Do you mean Cyclamen?”

Customer: “Yeah! Cyclamen, Chlamydia, they’re all the same thing. So, do you have anyone there that can give me some Chlamydia?”

Uhhh Dean? Sorry if I'm late to practice... I'm picking up our seeker from jail who's too afraid to tell you himself so... Yeah. Want me to pick anything up on the way back? Aside from a new seeker.

Nothing like a six mile jog to start the day! I'm thinking about making it seven tomorrow. We'll see how it goes.

It's been nice being home. It's so quiet out here. Spent a few days camped with Mary out near the pond week before. Five minutes into it, Becky showed up. We made her go back for stuff for smores before we would let her join. Even when we did have an invasion of ants. Clearly it was Mary's fault. Grandpa and I spent a day going over his albumns. Freaky how much I look like my dad but we're so different. Definitely going to miss everyone when I go back.

Should be back across the pond in a couple days I think. If I can get Becky to let me go long enough to sneak away.
