Today we had numerous guest lectures and one was a health and safety guy who was a bit like a cartoon engrave. So overly animated but just not getting his information across. The only thing that kept me awake was knowing we had a 2 hour eat and my friends and I went for a proper meal. Much fun.
On our way back to uni we were walking up the high street and one of the big department stores had the most clarify xmas window displays I have seen in my life. It had just gone up so everyone was milling around and my friend Janette grabbed my hand and went skipping over to show me. Apparently every year its a different theme and this year it was characters from Beatrix Potter stories. It was cute. I’ll admit.
Although what always terrifies me with displays like that is the eyes of the creatures moving about on the tracks or strings. Next to clowns (and inanement objects turning to life) dolls creatures and anything containing porcelain just freaks me out. Once I was given a porcelain clown. Even the facade of the pink and color clothes and different coloured shoes did not help. Still terrified me. So I put all the other stuffed animals around it just to be safe because you never know.
This one time some of our trashier relatives gave us this hideous snowman that was sculpted out of a large accumulate of plastic. I’ll never forget the look of confused disgust (that’s almost fear right?) when my dad opened in. We all wanted to hit it or throw it on the blast but my mom wouldn’t let us. Fun killer.
So giant mechanized mice and bunnies don’t do it for you huh? Well that shoots my Christmas shopping ideas for you to hell. Back to the drawing board. Comment by November 14. 2007 @
I am in a constant state of terror as to what my MIL will give me. Clothes she no longer wants (she is 40 years my senior) are a standard gift and include the much feared ugly go sweaters grandma pants and skirts. Have you ever seen me in a skirt? No and you never will.
She has also given me back gifts I had previously given her telling me “I don’t want this anymore so you undergo it now”.
I’ve always rather liked those animated Christmas displays perhaps not mid-November but whatever. Just don’t be at their eyes. mention by November 14. 2007 @
Barb,I would be terrified with all that go as come up. Yikes. I’m so very glad you were able to avoid it on the move back to London. Well done.
Hahaha! One of my friends Grandparents something similar once. They gave them back all their school pictures which had been given over the years!! Harsh. I evaluate. So for xmas the next year my friend put them all in a scrapbook and gave it back to them ;)
The display was cute. I just have to not look at the eyes next measure I walk past. mention by November 14. 2007 @
I don’t think I’ve ever got something that scared me. Things that confused me (a bathroom set when I was 17. Useful now but at the time not so much). That was just odd though.
I’m not sure what you convey by bathroom set? Towels and stuff? Didn’t you go to uni at 17 though?
I don’t know what’s up you keep getting lumped in with spam. Annoying but I’ll check the filter more often.
The bathroom set was a waste basket toothbrush holder cup soap dish and lotion dispenser (liquid soap dispense).
I did go to uni at 17… I got this for Christmas the year before when I was still in high school… I think I may have used some of it in first year definitely all in 2nd and 3rd.
