I want facts, and until I get them my pants are staying on.
You know what the worst feeling in the world is? Being responsible. Sometimes you can come away with a feeling of deep inner satisfaction; the knowledge that you did the right thing. This is usually trumped by that nauseating fact that you're probably missing out on something legendary. You would be out there experiencing the awesome with everyone, and instead you're the monkey sitting at home. On your ass. Eating Cheez-its. Trying to convince yourself that you were an adult and you did the right thing... even if it sucks. That was me last night. Well, I didn't sit at home, but I didn't go to the Def Leppard concert. I could have, but... I didn't have the money. Actually, I did have the money, but I knew I should save it instead. Redhead Liz needed me to help her prepare for her date, etc. I ended up having a rather nice night, though. After helping Liz get ready, dressed, and out the door with Tucker, I wound up having dinner at Outback Steakhouse with Jenni. The worst was how cold the restaurant was. It was so cold that it was uncomfortable to eat.
After dinner, we went to Blockbuster, where we rented the first five episodes of Grey's Anatomy: Season Two. I'm determined to power through seasons two and three in time for the upcoming season. I'm completely hooked. I also don't hate Meredith Grey as much. I think I judged her more harshly as the "smart girl in a relationship," which we all know can cause a bit of the high-horse syndrome. Now I can relate to that sort of scatterbrained behavior. Things that seem like a great idea don't feel so wonderful the next day. I guess this is the first time I have ever understood what it's like to be an adult and single. So yes, I laughed. I cried. I then fell asleep on Jenni's couch until 6:15 this morning. Went home. Got ready for work.
me: Scones. <3
Mia: Mmmm. Scones.
me: Granted, I received a walnut scone instead of the requested raisin scone, but it was still tasty.
Mia: I like the orange ones.
me: Eek. I've always been distinctly averse to citrus in my bread products.
Mia: Ahaha, I love how people are like that about citrus fruit. This guy I work with is like OMG NO ORANGE IN MY CHOCOLATE OMG
me: Absolutely not. Fruits and chocolate should not mix. Kind of like fruit on pizza. What in god's name is that?
Mia: God thinks it's delicious and so do I!
me: God must have been high and had the munchies that day.
Oh, so in spite of my adultitude and being responsible, I still did not get a dresser or a mirror this past weekend. I will have to do so on Friday, because this is just unacceptable.
I'm tired. That's all I've got. Can't wait to get out of work. Going home. Showering. Fixing myself up. Dinner date with Redhead Liz at Waffle House, and then we are off to trivia for the evening.
