Two American Idiot Songs Played

About a month ago I got hired at a Walmart to do overnight stocking, and ever since I've been working there the music would be on all the time, non-stop. Walmart has their own radio station called Walmart Radio and sometimes they would play songs I like (I heard Green Day's song "She" being played twice) but mostly it's just ones I'm not into. But a few nights ago something very cool happened and I thought I would talk about it. While I was working a song came on and I noticed it was a Green Day song but I couldn't recognize which song it was. But as I payed attention to it more my jaw dropped. They were playing "Give Me Novacaine"!!!! It made me so happy (especially since it's one of my all-time favorite Green Day songs), and I was surprised they played that song even though it's not a single. Then as "Give Me Novacaine" was starting to end I thought a different song would play, but it actually went straight to "She's A Rebel"!! That was a great surprise, and hearing those two songs totally made my night!

Green Day Charms

If you grew up in the 2000s then you probably remember those silver Italian charm bracelets. They're bracelets that you can add/form with many different types of charms, and they could be about your favorite things, foods, drinks, and hobbies. They're made from Italy and I remember they used to be sold at the mall. During that time my mom, my two aunts, and my grandmother had them and I eventually got my own when I was 13. I still have my bracelet and the charms I have are two sushi ones, a heart that says "Niece" (given to me by one of my aunts), a cola bottle, a cat one, music notes (because I love music), one that has hearts, aces, spades, and clubs (I love playing card games), one that says "Sweet 16" (I got it on my 16th birthday), and one of Santa Claus (because I love Christmas).

I also have charms that are custom made by people and I have ones of Green Day. Here are two that are on my bracelet. Sorry if the pictures are kind of dark.






And here are these other ones that are not on my bracelet. Unfortunately the pictures of Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool came off of their charms...




I have two other ones that aren't in this picture but they're from the Nimrod and 21st Century Breakdown eras.
