My mom said I could meet up with her at Wal-Mart when she finishes work. I crossed the mall parking lot to witness an empty Chapters Bookstore [waaaaah!] and was closing in on the Wal-Mart parking lot when I heard the beep-beep of my mom's car beckon me. I hopped in and she headed for the nearby mall for some shoes [the ones at Wal-Mart sucked, she said]. The Sears Department store at this location was going down hill, for it was looking like a used clothing store. I just don't think the workers care anymore and I think they got the notice already that it'll close or something that has that apathetic mood in the air. We were stepping out of the store when I noticed a woman looking at mom and I. I thought she may have recognised me from school or something. "Hello", she says politely," but do you have a half an hour to spare?" We assumed she was going to give us a survey or sell us a credit card: turns out she needed 'normal-looking' people for a photo. It would show up at the mall with mom and I looking over some bags: we were given $25 gift certicates! The woman originally said $50, but if we were clever enough we could've weaselled $50 for each of us to use in the crappiest mall, of course. My mom didn't think she looked her most beautiful, and I was worried about my flakey scalp, but we were game and got into it. We were no Naomi Campbell & Mother, but we did alright. It's coming out in July, since the pictures are monthly ones.

I have to go to bed early. I'm working tomorrow @ 7:30am and I need to awaken @ 4:30am. After Queer As Folk, I'll only get 3 hours sleep!
