hmm blogging

so my friend lily made me this awesome heading up here. she makes lots of cool stuff like that. she's good at that, you know? this got me to thinking...what am i good at? and after much due consideration, i came to the conclusion that i'm good at complaining and writing; especially when the two are combined together. so what does one do when one wants to rant through writing? hmmm...blogging? annnd here we are.
here's my first little ranting story. i drove to michael's craft store today with my mom and my sister to get some string to make these bracelets i've been addicted to making lately. so we get in the store, i find the string, and we're waiting in line to pay. the total, with everything else we got for my sister, came up to be 11.50. my mom handed the guy a 20 dollar bill and he started ringing that up in the cash register before my mom could pull out two quarters because my mother has some form of OCD about having an excessive amount of change. but keep in mind, mr. personality behind the counter has already entered 20 dollars into the cash register, so now that he has to factor in the 50 cents my mom gave him, instead of having the amount he needs to distribute up on the screen, actual math is involved! god forbid. now, if it wasn't enough hilarity watching this poor soul scratch his head and try and figure out how much change he owed us, einstein over here decides to pull out his phone and use the calculator on there to figure it out, because apparently simple math is just overqualification nowadays. it really makes you think about what the world has come to, doesn't it? the only positive part of this whole thing is that i felt no remorse laughing outwardly, because in my opinion, if you aren't sharp enough to do 1st grade subtraction, you really can't be sharp enough to realize when people are laughing AT you, not with you.
