Tis the season to be jolly.....fa la la la la...la la la la

So to continue from my post about people looking at me strangely when I'm in fairy costume; a big, fat bah humbug to all you Rialto patrons who stare at me like I have lights flashing from my head.....even though I do actually have lights flashing from my head! I found a cute reindeer headband to wear to work which has tinsel and flashing lights. I've only had one nice comment from a customer about it, the rest look at me like I'm a freak. And I'm sort of starting to think maybe I must be some sort of freak to want to have some silly fun in a world which is apparently way too uptight and serious. Come on people, lighten up!

I'm in a very good mood today, because I had a fabulous fairy party this afternoon for a little girl turning four and ten of her kindy friends.
They were so so cute! A little shy until I gave them some pretty fairy sparkles like mine and then we were all best friends.
Particularly funny was their take on musical flowers. After the first person got out, the rest decided that rather than run like mad to get to a flower to avoid being out, they all wanted to get out instead so that they too could get a lollipop! It was very hard work to try and get someone to stand on a flower! Hehe!

When I was leaving, one little girl told me that she would come and visit me in Fairyland very soon, while the rest farewelled me with a chorus of "I love you, Fairy!"

Made my day.

Unlike yesterday's disaster of a party. Litlle sh*&% the lot of them!
I have never met such rude, disrespectful, mean, ungrateful, monsterous children!
I swear it was the longest hour of my life, putting up with "I don't want to do this", "This is stupid", "This lollipop tastes like feet", "This is dumb".
And then the icing on the cake while opening presents - birthday girl got a My Little Pony, and threw a real tanty! "What is this?!", "I hate MLP", "Why did you get me this?", "What am I supposed to do with it?".
I was horrified. Mum seemed a little embarrassed, but if that were my daughter, she would have had all her presents taken away from her until she had written letters of apologies to everyone present and made up for her behaviour.
I was so glad to get out of there.
The kids were obviously too old for a fairy party (7 and 8) and couldn't really care less.
I really wish parents would plan parties that their kids actually like instead of doing something that they think is good.
Ah well. I did get an extra $10 for the trauma!

Oh, before I forget, has anyone else seen the Centreplace Santa? Now, I love Christmas, and Santa and a big thumbs up to everyone who loves entertaining children as much as I do, but this Santa is visably younger and SKINNIER than me! I couldn't believe it! This world is getting far too PC.

I am tempted to do a movie review of The Darjeeling Limited, which I saw at my first ever print test (even though I have worked at Rialto for over 2 years)! but am still trying to decide what I thought of it. I think I liked it. It definately had some very good moments. A bit disappointed Angelica Houston's role was a very small one. Love her. Apparently she beat up Jack Nicholson when they were dating!

In other news, my Caryvention saving is back on track after not doing too well - you know how it goes, you put a bit aside, then the bills come rolling in and you have to dip into it - but anyway, the other day I got a letter informing me that I have recieved $1k plus interest in inheritance that I thought I wasn't getting until I turned 25, so thank you Aunty Florence! I'll bet she's up in heaven playing cards with Cary :)

And finally, I hope to be adopting a mini lop bunny sometime this week! I have a hutch for her (I'm going to call her LilyBelle), and I just have topaint it pink (!) and find a compatible bunny! I'd love a blue eyed white lop, because I think it would look too cute in a pair of miniature fairy wings, and thus if friendly and sociable enough, would be a great partner to bring along to my fairy parties!
