JoAnn's: The Adventure

When we first walked in, I started saying, "I Ruv Ham Flied Lice." We all laughed (even Scott) until we realized that there were Asians right in front of us. Once we did, we took a left into the next aisle.

We spend the first hour finding parts to our costume. Megan needed some fabric cut, so she waited in the 20-minute line so someone could help her. While she was waiting in line, Scott and I went to the Halloween section to find stuff.

Scott found a curly wig for his lion costume. He put it on and I loved it. I asked a couple next to us if he looked like a lion. The man replied, "You look gay." I was taken aback and didn't know how to respond except with, "Well, we are gay, so..." Scott and I walked away because it was weird. I don't think realize that saying "You're gay" is the same as "You have brown eyes!" His statement confused me more than it upset me.

We found Megan and showed her the wig (which she thought was perfect). I found some belt material that looked cool, so I got into the long line to get the material cut. The lady who finally helped me cut my material and then asked, "Who is this pink belt for?" I told her it was for me. She looked at me, furled her brow, and shook her head. Megan thought it was really funny.

We took our basket and went to make all our purchases. Scott's wig wasn't in a bag, so we asked if we could get a discount on it. The clerk called her manager and was told she could give us a 5% discount. Scott said that he'd buy a new one since the discount was so low. When the clerk rang it up, it turned out they were having a 70% sale. We felt silly for asking for a discount on top of that. We left the store with all our costume stuff.

When we got into my car, Scott said that the clerk charged him too much for his wig. It turns out that she charged him for some pants that he didn't want.

We made our second trip into the store and laughed because we'd been at the store for about an hour and a half already. Since we were already back in the store and wigs were 70% off, I told Megan and Scott that we should buy some wigs. "Wigs are a good thing to have, especially at this price." Scott said, "Yeah, just like votive candle holders." We bought everything and left the store.

In my car, we opened our wigs and tried them on. Scott opened his bag, put the wig on, and that's when we realized that the wig he had originally wanted wasn't the one he bought. I thought they were the same because of the hair color--I didn't take a moment to look at the picture on the front.

We made our third trip back into the store and commented to the store greeter that we should get jobs. Megan, Scott, and I kept laughing and laughing because we were on hour 2 of being in JoAnn's fabric store.

Finally, we left JoAnn's parking lot for our next adventure. Megan thought it would be funny to visit Brian's store at Fashion place mall. On our way, we stopped at a stoplight and Scott started flirting with an older gentleman in a car next to us. After what seemed like 4 minutes, the light turned green, but my stomach hurt because Scott was so hilarious.

The three of us walked into the mall to find Brian, but all we found was his kiosk. I called him and found out that he wasn't there, but at another mall.

We went to the Smith's by my house to get a pizza for dinner.

When we got to my house, I thought it would be funny to make a music video in our wigs. It was so much fun. I'll post it here later.
