I don't know about you guys, but I enjoy sudden cravings for Waffle House. What I love even more about it is unexpectedly seeing a dear friend (in this case, Levi) there. Peter and I had gone there to chill for a little while, and wound up sitting with Levi for close to 4 hours. I drank so much coffee that I'm still awake now at 6 a.m., having given up on sleep after a very boring hour and a half staring at the ceiling. I helped get my little bro up for school, for crying out loud. I talked to Mom as she made his lunch. Being at WaHo tonite is one of the best things to happen to me in a while, for reasons that I'm not going to get into. Here's a list of some of the things that were thought and/or said:
"Not to say that I'm a Calvinist, but I don't think it's chance that we came here" -Me
"Her hair is one of my pet peeves. Like me wanting to kick Sam the Ugly Dog, I just want to take my trimmer and 1-guard it." -Me
"300!? I've got like 5!" -Me
"I can go get you a rock from outside. It's pretty much the same." -Levi
"It is so hard to find a good Christian girl. And when I do, she's already taken!"- Me
"Can we start a church plant!? We can be Associate Ministers!"- Me
"I think that's the eighth time he's gone since we've been here."- Me
"It's like man, she's 18! But at the same time, man . . . she's 18."
"Sometimes you need to hit a friend. I want to straight up hit her in the face, jack her jaw, go at it Princeton style." -Me
"I have never seen Levi get this worked up in my life." -Peter
"Sorry, I just realized that I was looking straight at a camera. It took me back to the most traumatic time of my youth. (Levi laughs, Peter smiles) Well, I can't really do anything except have a sense of humor about it." -Me
"I can't believe that the girl I kissed works at Hooters." -Me
"I'm sure Cookie's (one of our waitresses) a nice woman. I love people." -Levi
"Did you say you'd be a eunich?" -Peter
"I hate people. Why am I going to be a minister?" -Me
"I better not have girls. If I have girls, they're going to be put up for adoption. And now I've just jinxed myself." -Me
"Jay figured it out way quicker than we did. It took us too long." -Me
My conclusions are thus. Girls are confusing and we (men) have no hopes of understanding. I wish I would've listened to Jay much sooner. Qualifications are ok to have. Red hair is scary. Church planting would be way cool. I overthink, and think way too far ahead. I can be real schtick in the mud. Real friendship is very hard to come by. Coffee keeps me up for a long time. The sunrise was excellent. I need someone to teach me to swingdance. Racism sucks. Praying in parking lots should happen more often. I like this girl a lot.
