Anyway, during all that lovely stuff Christmas, my birthday, and New Year's came and went. In a summary:

Christmas at Wal-Mart was freaking crazy! Most of the time I was trying my hardest just to keep the carts inside half full! And if a carry-out dared to come my way, that would put me behind in carts even more. I went through many gloves that all got soaked through and finally got a pair that was actually waterproof and they work great.

For Christmas I got a pair of SpongeBob SquarePants boxers, a pair of fire boxers, a fire CD zipper case, a Lord of the Rings chess set (very cool), Christmas socks (to be funny), and the game "Kingdom Hearts" which is very, very cool. It has Final Fantasy characters as well as Disney characters in it, and you go to different worlds and basically try to stop the "heartless" who are controlled by Maleficent (villain on "Sleeping Beauty"). So far I've had to fight the cards from "Alice in Wonderland", the Cerberus from "Hercules", Squall Leonheart from "Final Fantasy 8", Cloud Strife from "Final Fantasy 7", Clayton from "Tarzan", Jafar from "Aladdin", and Ursula from "The Little Mermaid". She was hard. I bought a cool game called "Soul Reaver 2" and it's this undead guy named Raziel and your life drains slowly but constantly while you're in the physical world and the only way to replenish it is to kill someone and suck in their soul. If you die you go into the spiritual world, but you can go back to the material world once you're healed. It has nice voice overs and some very difficult puzzles but not too hard. The only thing that made it rated "M" is the blood and gore, but that's perfectly fine with me. Raziel looks like a super Vincent Valentine, lol.

I sent Kelli all 4 of the available volumes of the manga "Planet Ladder" for Christmas. When I called her up (since my internet wasn't working) she asked how I found the 4th one and said I was crazy for spending $40 on her, especially when she couldn't afford to get me anything. Well, regardless of what she said or didn't say, I think she liked it, since it's one of her favorite mangas and all.

I've become fast friends with Melissa in the men's department. I would never really say anything to her, and she wouldn't talk to me. We just worked at the same place. Then suddenly she started talking to me as if we were moderate friends and it just went from there. Now I've gotten a ride home from her 3 times. It helps that she lives in Junction City, though she is engaged. I would ask Carly more often, but even though she said it doesn't annoy her when I ask her to, I always feel like a nuisance around her, like I'm the one doing all the talking and I'm the one who says we should go do something. If I left it up to her, I don't expect she would suggest anything like she used to. She used to asked when my days off were and ask me to call her. Now I feel like she does things with me only because I ask. But she's been hanging around Nick a lot more lately from what I can tell, and I think they like each other. She calls his department from the break room to tell him she's on break and/or for him to take a break too. She told me she wasn't taking a lunch one day, and then on break I see her coming back from the pizza place with Nick. I don't really mind them being together, I just don't want her to have to make up things to not hurt my feelings and worry about me liking her. I think I'm just going to give her some space, not go talk to her unless I happen to pass her while walking, and then just a "hi". That's the sum of it I suppose. I hope I haven't left anything out.
