What is up with Michigan? Have I finally turned pretty or have the guys here just had the same old stuff for too long? Like yesterday... went back to the A&W (not sure if I told this story already...). Talked to the guys at the counter. Ended up getting the number of one of the guys and I got invited to a concert this Friday by a girl named Kate who thought I was pretty cool... Never heard of the band before though. Mindless Self-Indulgence? I dunno, I dont think I will go, but maybe I'll give her a call and invite her to Get Smart. Why not? Also got complimented by the guys at the movies... Took Athena to see The Happening yesterday. I snuck an eleven year old into a rated R movie. WHAT was I thinking? She really wanted to see it so I saw no real problem with it. The reviews said it wasnt scary (they also said it wasnt good) so I thought it would be okay. She freaked out at the previews. Poor Athena had to sit in my lap during the entire movie and would often whimper into my shoulder. Guys, I applaud you if you dont complain when your girl sits on your lap the entire movie. About fifteen minutes in I couldnt feel my legs, much less pay attention to the movie. I found it hilarious, btw. Also went to the movies today. Got to see an advanced screening of The Love Guru. Took Athena to that. I didnt want to go, but it was free and better than sitting around in the house. Plus my dream would be to become a movie reviewer (right after princess or superhero), so that would mean going to movies I didnt want to watch. I had really low expectations (I would much rather Get Smart do well in the box office this weekend as I aDORE Steve Carrell) and it turned out to be quite funny! Offensive and vulgar, but kept the laughs going. For example, here are some quotes I remember:
"Do you want some Quebec Pizza?"
"Whats that?"
"Pop tart and ketchup."
"Dont look at me with that tone of voice or I swear to God I will punch you in your shirt!"
"You're jumpy.... like prison bitch jumpy...
They had a bunch of great one liners. Almost all of them went over Athena's head, thank god. But anyway, her mom insisted we get there an hour early as the seats were first come first serve. Turns out we didnt need to go nearly that early at all, but oh well. So we're standing in line and I'm bored and listening in on other people's conversations. The four guys behind us are just chit chatting and the old lady in front was talking about bodily issues. Oooookay. So we get in and sit down and the four guys in line behind us end up sitting in front of me and Athena. I've got nothing better to do so I try to start up a meaningful conversation with Athena. Do you know how hard it is to talk politics with a kid? Not informed at all. Haha. So there are maybe like 20 people in the theatre at this point with about 50 mins left before the picture. Three of the four guys get up for some odd reason and leave for a bit. I get bored and say to Athena "You know what we should do? Make friends." Immediately the guy in front of me turns around and says "I'll be your friend!" We talk for a good while before his friends come back and then continue the conversation with all. Brad and Andrew (Andrew was the guy I talked to first) talked to me about what to do in Grand Rapids and Married and Married (how they introduced themselves.... not sure how to take that) talked to me about movies. Married number one kept commenting on how I was perfect for this Andrew guy because I love to play poker. Low standards, huh? Haha. He also makes the comment about how he noticed me come in and told the guys to sit by me and Athena. Why do I always make friends with the creepers? But they were a fun bunch to talk to and I didnt give any real info out. Turns out Married No. 1 was born in Minnesota! We talked Ya Sure Ya Betcha for a while to bug his friends. Nice guys. A good distraction for 40+ minutes.
Have a great night!
