yesterday my mother and I went to this cook out her boyfriend was having. It was way in Yankeetown, and we all know Yankeetown is an amazing place. People at the cook out were using words like "over yonder" and "witchuditua" (with-you-did-you)... It was a creepy sort of place, with creepy sort of people. So I left my mother there, and told her i would return later to fetch her.
Later, Sean and I returned. The place is even better in the dark. We had quite the adventure. There were several drunks, a cop, a redneck, and 2 hippies. One of the hippies was completely fascinated by Sean. He pulled us aside to talk to us, and was completely intrigued by Sean's eyes. He kept looking directly at him. Asking him his beliefs, and saying things like "you have a good soul", "im 140... you are 90". I was creeped out, and I could tell sean was uncomfortable too, but at the same time, i was rather amused. and found it quite humerous that this man was starring my boyfriend directly in the eyes, like he was going to kiss him or something. Then he said "I would love to tell you what I am"... I'm thinking oh great.. it's god. he goes on to say "have you ever seen ET? or Close Encounters of the Third Kind" sean denies having seen either, because he knew what the man was getting out. of course being me, i didnt understand until later when sean pointed out that he was implying that he was an alien. woaah. I was tempted to go back just to ask him if he was indeed an alien, and if sean was one too. Oh.. the best part was when he said "i can tell there is something good about you.. i can see it in your eyes." that was it for me.. I had to walk away cause I couldn't stop laughing. The man was clearly insane. When I pulled myself back together and returned to them he said "what you just did was Awesome" and he proceeded to give sean his card. I dont know if he runs a church group or what... but it seems to me like he is an entrapranuer (spelling) As we left, we talked about how Inglis was ridiculous... they actually BANNED THE DEVIL. but apparently aliens are welcome.
I noticed this sign on a chruch in Inglis:
"God wants spirtiual Fruits,
not religious Nuts"
amazing.
