Tuesday was my day off. I didn’t do anything productive at all. I needed to be productive that day but then I also just didn’t want to do anything at all. So the needing and wanting sides were conflicting and the want part of me won. Just like in Bruno Mars “The Lazy Song”, I just didn’t want to get out of bed and stop reading my book. However, there was a point were I did finally get up. But it wasn’t to be productive. Oh no, it was to go visit my friend and keep her company on her birthday.
This was the same friend that I had previously gone to Applebee’s with some guy friends. And it so happens that those same guy friends joined us. Well, I picked one of them up from his apartment and the other met us there. It was a great time since I embarrassed my unfortunate birthday friend by telling the server it was her birthday. I must say that she knew it was coming because I told her before we had gone to Applebee’s that I was going to do that.
What else are friends for? I think it is written in the friendship handbook that one must embarrass each other. Well, obviously I know that there isn’t a friendship handbook, but if there was one, it would be on page number eight and under the “never tell someone your friends secrets”. You get the idea.
Talking about friendship and best friends, I was able to hang out with one of my besties the other day (before my work schedule became so busy that it was on crack). It was so nice to hang out and talk; I truly believe that we both needed it. We started out the day by not knowing what we were going to do other than the fact that I was meeting her at her parents place in the morning. I was right in time because her mother made delicious blueberry pancakes that I was able to enjoy.When she was ready, even though it looked like it was going to rain soon, we took a walk down to the park. On our way there, we made a tiny detour to a coffee shop and got white chocolate mochas. When we finally got to the park to go swinging, it was sprinkling on and off.
After we had stomachaches from swinging so much, we walked to a bench with a roof on top of it to talk some more about school and what we have been up to. For a while we were stranded on the bench because the sprinkle turned into a downright pour, but it was all right since we had no place that we needed to be at.Later on, we decided to have a movie night. We went to the grocery store and bought some well-needed snacks, a.k.a. oatmeal cream pies, cosmic crunch bars, and kettle cooked cheddar cheese chips. We went from “Love and Other Drugs” to the “The King’s Speech” and then to our favorite “She’s the Man”.
All very solid movies I must say, but “She’s the Man” will always be the favorite probably because of Eunice and how ridiculous the movie plot line is (in a good way of course).Or it could be because the hot guys tend to take off their shirts in the movie a lot and the fact that we used to be in love with Channing Tatum. Well, I still really like Channing Tatum but the fact that he has a wife kind of crushed my dream of him and I marrying, oh well. Now that I think about it, I think I was in love with the character he played more than anything. Needless to say there is a bunch of history with the movie, my gal pal and I.
So what have I been up to since then? Basically working. I have been working nonstop to become a better server before the memorial weekend arrived, but as one can tell it's already here. I will be a busy, busy bee for quite a while since Memorial Day means that it’s basically summer for the tourist season where I live. This means much more working. Already I feel like I need a vacation. I guess you can say that going to school is my cold vacation, and I already miss it. And I hate the cold.
Last night after working at the swanky restaurant, I joined my family in the legion to listen to the karaoke and to be the D.D. It didn’t make me a happy camper when I had to wake up very early in the morning the next day, but oh well.
There are many rules to being a D.D. that I have found to have fun (however this is not my first time). First, have fun and and don't be anti-social; you can't go home yet and you can't go do something else so it's best to get to know the people around you. The people around you are usually drinking and feel free to be themselves. They also tend to tell more stories that are embarrassing and quite hilarious. Second, make sure you know what a drunk person looks like and the different types, then learn how to deal with those types just in case (a.k.a. a drunk man who won't leave you be). Third, if you're able to dance with a good friend or family member, do it. It passes the time and keeps you from being bored. And finally, learn how to round up your group of people you need to get home.
