Yesterday HAD to be the greatest day of 2011 thus far. Pit band practice kicked my ass in the morning, but I didn't let it get me down.
Dale and I went down to Kingston Landing and had the BEST TIME together. It was great.
Then we went and got milkshakes. :)
Last night was the Senior dance. The "Snowball". I went solo (since Dale doesn't go to my school and Sami's a sophomore..), and I had the BEST TIME OF MY LIFE. Really, I knew everyone, and I just danced until I couldn't. I danced with everyone. I screamed and laughed and loved it all. I needed a night like that.
On the way home Old Blue (my lovely car) and I got caught in a sobriety checkpoint. The cop (state cop = dick with a badge) asked me to put down my window, and I tried to explain that they don't exactly work, and he got all frustrated and made me get out. Now remember, I was wearing a tight short dress, heels, underwear (duh), and a coat. That's IT.
Gave him my license and registration, and then he asked me to take my jacket off.
So I leaned against the back of my car feeling very awkward, with my arms crossed. I was cold.
He asked me where I'd been, where I was going, had I had any drinks (not exactly) or done any drugs (no) and then he asked me my name and address and everything. I answered kind of bluntly. I was cold, and I felt uncomfortable.
And then he asked me if I would submit to a sobriety test.
WHAT? I was sober!!!!
But I did it anyway. Took my shoes off and walked a line barefoot on cold rainy asphalt, walked it back, touched my nose, and then...he asked me to touch my toes.
Didn't appreciate the last part, with what I was wearing. Especially since I wasn't facing the officer...
...My ass was.
Hah.
Then I went to the gas station next to where I work. I don't remember what I wanted, but I left with a red gatorade and a packet of tylenol. I groaned when I saw the guy working the register. He's a creep. Comes into work on Friday nights to talk to me and one of my managers. Says weird things.
He was so disappointed when I told him I was 17. "You look like you're 25." he told me.
I KNOW I LOOK YOUNGER THAN I AM. DON'T EVEN.
I look...maybe 14.
I don't feel okay around the guy. He creeps me out. I walked all the way across the parking lot in heels (did I mention I hate heels?) and went in with my coat on. When I got to the register he smiled at me and was like, "You worked tonight?" I shook my head and he told me the total.
When I unzipped my jacket to get to my wallet, his voice changed, and not for the better.
He asked me if I was going to a party. I told him I'd been to one, and he was like, "I like parties too. We should go to one sometime. Hope you had fun."
...that's why I buy my gas at Royal Farms and not Sunoco.
CREEP.
Today is reserved for the Superbowl. I'm pullin' for the Packers.
