| - Teej is from Southern California. Teej is afraid of the cold. Teej is in desperate need of winter clothes. Teej also speaks in third person.
I walked into Champaign Surplus with my friend Archana, anxious about finding a decent waterproof/windproof jacket to keep me from dying this winter. I walked in and briefly fingered coats, feeling lost and confused. That's when Denise walked up, friendly, helpful, and eager to show me what I needed to buy.
"Have you spent a winter here before?" she asked, eyeing my confused expression.
"Uh...no," I admitted. "I just moved here from Southern California.
"Where are you from!?" she demanded instantly. "I'm from the South Bay."
"Me too!" I shouted.
There upon commenced thirty minutes of reflecting on being from South Bay Los Angeles, and the joy of seeing someone else in this far off space.
Then we got down to coat-shopping. I had a bit of a tight budget, but Denise helped me out considerably, and found a sale item or two that kept me worry free. Now I have a great winter coat, am amazed by the service offered here, and can't wait to go back for boots in a little bit.
Definitely check out Champaign Surplus. They rule!
