Conversations with Hippies IV
Ringing through groceries at the Organics store...
Me:
I'm thinking about going into graphic and web design.
Customer:
Oh you'll do well in herbology!
Me:
*Thinking somehow customer has misheard graphic design as herbology...* No, no, I said design, but herbology sounds nice too.
Customer:
Oh yes, I heard you, but I know you'd make a great herablist.
Me:
How do you know that?
Customer:
Oh I just know *sly look, waves and leaves*.
Me:
OKAY WHAT DOES SHE KNOW THAT I DON'T.
AHHHHHHH! Moving to Portland!!
There will be trees! And cuddling! And an over-abundance of hipsters! And trees!
I will hopefully be there by the end of next weekend, but we’ll see how it goes.
Conversations with Hippies III
Conversation between two regular customers at the Organics store...
Regular #1:
Hey, excuse me, have you ever been to an Energy Healer?
Regular #2:
No, but I'm pretty open-minded...
Regular #1:
Yeah, because I just got a message. I think you're supposed to go see my friend. She's an Energy Healer.
Regular #2:
Okay...
Regular #1:
Yeah, like, I just think it's so weird that we both happened to be here at the same time. And then I got a message! *gestures upwards towards the universe or something*
Regular #1:
Here, take her card, I think she could really help you. You know some energy healers they just mess with your field.
Regular #2:
Right, okay, thank you.
Regular #1:
Kay! So nice meeting you! I'm glad I got that message! *leaves*
Regular #2:
...Crazy hippies.

Conversations with Hippies
Whilst in the break room of the Organics store...
Hippie:
So. How are your feelings today? Are you happy?
Me:
Oh yeah, I'm good! Besides that hour today that our debit system was down and customers decided it was my fault.
Hippie:
So you've been pressured with lots of negative auras then haven't you?
Me:
Um, well yeah I guess so.
Hippie:
*Circles his hand around my head in some strange shamanistic gesture*
Me:
Hippie:
*Turns and walks away*
Me:

But strangest weather! Every time I grabbed my jacket to go for a walk today, the clouds would roll in and it would either rain, hail, or blizzard. MAKE UP YO DAMN MIND CALGARY!
About to make an attempt at creating sushi rolls.
