i started thinking about how much people hate the mall. not people in our class specifically, but i will hear this from a lot of edmontonians. i mean they hate the mall. or at least they say they do for various reasons none of which i'm going to suggest are just signifiers of a certain militant anti-consumerist image that has to be upheld. by god, why would i do that? hur hur hur hur, NEVER!
hate is a strong word. it starts with the sound of you clearing the phlegm, the evil, from your throat and it ends with the snapping down of your teeth. like a deep throating experience gone terribly terribly wrong. (oh yes, i went there. don't even!) this has nothing to do with anything really. nothing about our assignment or a comment on anyone's writing and it's not driven by drugs or alcohol (though i'm not sure i don't regret that last part).
but jesus christ people, when it's -33 and i need me some cheap new duds, and need to spend my day somewhere where i can shop, watch a movie, get tanked, hang out late at night when it gets dark, it's really not that bad.
RANT RANT RANT.
Agreed! I'm doing my map project based on the mall, because I reaallly don't think it's that bad either. There's a lot of negativity towards it, and I think that the people who say they "hate" it are seriously overlooking a lot of pros to the mall. Especially when it's -33 out like you said haha
