Thanks, Jiminy Cricket.

January 13th is yet another double holiday! Make Your Dream Come True Day was the harder of the two to celebrate, so i began with it. Now it didn't specify as to what kind of dream (night, day, life-long), so I went with the night dream. I ate none of my usual midnight snack oddities so that my dream would be as close to not-crazy and at least partially realistically fulfillable. I dreamt that I was at the mall just wandering around and there was a really expensive jacket that was awesome. I don't really know how to describe it, but just imagine the best material and fit ever. It was pretty cool. I imagine this stemmed from me discussing going to the mall the previous night with some friends, along with my want for a new jacket, and quite possibly my recent viewing of the first two episodes of The Cape. Back to the dream, though, I couldn't afford it and had to go do favours for all the stores to raise money (enter my knowledge of how side-quests in video games work). I woke up before I rose the money. The End.

To make this a reality, I needed to go to the mall. Check. I needed to find a jacket I wanted. Check. I needed to not have enough funds. Check, check, check. All systems go. I went to some stores (Build-a-Bear, Gamestop, Bose, Apple, etc.) and asked if they needed any favours done in exchange for petty cash. No such luck! Although, I DID get a few Godiva truffle samples for free, which was pretty cool of them. But in the end, I did not get the jacket. Not exactly how the dream went, as in the dream I raised at LEAST 1,500 dollars, and that would have been REALLY nice, but alas.

Actually, not 'alas'. It was quite disappointing to not get 1,500 dollars even if I wasn't technically promised any money at all just for trying. Which brings me to the second holiday, Blame Someone Else Day. I would like to thank a certain puppet's pet insect for telling me that "If I wished upon a star" My dreams would come true. I didn't wish upon a star, granted, but that's only because I didn't remember about it until I tried to come up with a kinda witty title for this entry. Also, by the time I woke up, the stars were out of sight. For which I blame the sun! Which, while technically a star, has yet to make it known whether or not it, too has any sort of wish-granting ability. So it's obviously all their fault.

Another Ladies' Day

Come now, was Man Watcher's Day on the 8th not enough for you? Only four days later, you need another holiday for the same thing? Or is it the same thing? I suppose I'll never figure women out. Regardless, the holiday for January 12th is the Feast of Fabulous Wild Men Day. Now, I again put some research into this holiday, and it really is yet another day for women to go out and look at men, but with a few minor yet important changes. Instead of simply man watching, today is your day to find the "hunkiest" of them all and ogle and whistle to your hearts content. It' a lot like man watching, I assume, but this time you let them KNOW that you are watching and that you are watching THEM. So, have fun ladies. I'll probably just go watch Disney's Tarzan or something.

Painful Puddles

January 11th is Step in a Puddle and Splash Your Friend Day. It is an unfortunately placed holiday as all puddles today are frozen solid, and throwing an ice puddle at a friend is a delicate art that requires a certain elegant touch in order to not hurt your friend. However, the day is simply a day to enjoy the many ways in which you can have a little fun at the slight expense of some friends. A "Prank Day", if you will. I love this idea. Most of my pranks are done on the battleground of the mind, and less so on the realm of the physical. A little more Jim Halpert and a little less Larry, Curly, Moe. Feel free to celebrate today in whatever form or fashion of light hearted pranks suits you, and please keep it clean. Especially if you are at work today. No reason to get fired over it.
