What's The Deal??

(Originally drafted 11-1-2012...give or take)

So when my sister and I got to Spirit Halloween, the door was locked. "This surely is an error," thought I and the other people there, as a person trying to leave was locked in.

So the employee unlocks it, but tells us they're closed.

Except, I wanted to give you my money. This was not the Season Ending Scare I was expecting.

I was upset, but balanced it with a maintaining of dignity: I started walking back to the car, but floppily.

So floppily I let myself fall onto my knees in front of the store.

Now, I don't usually cause scenes, but I also don't like to embarrass myself, which I think I thought I'd do if I had simply gotten up from that childish display.

Not wanting to think I'd embarrassed myself, I went full-throttle with the bit:

Raising my arms and tilting my head to the heavens, I softly-but-projectfully yelled "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

Got a woman also leaving to laugh, and thank me, so mission accomplished; no embarrassment. Success. In fact, more success in pleasing this stranger than a seasonal chain store did, that day.

Because of course I "cause scenes." I'm a filmmaker.

Boo-yah.
