McDonalds Adventures

Rosalind is exhausted and just finished her homework but is veryy happy after going with a bunch of friends from the musical to see "Escanaba In Love" at Farmer's Alley....it was hilarious. And Rachael, the guy in it said he went to school with you...Sean something. way good looking...he was in Les Miserables. Said hes friends with you on facebook...asked how you were. Mentioned you did forensics together...haha I think he was kinda suprized when I didn't really know much about what you did in forensics, and maybe somewhat sad since he wanted to discuss it...anyway. it was a great show.
....and when morgan and i went to dinner beforehand, we went to McDonalds...and the guy that took our orders was hitting on me. He said, "Hello, how are you all doing tonight?" and I said, "Hi!" He looked at me and laughed and said, "Aw, that made my day--you're the happiest person I've talked to for weeks. Can you come in earlier?" Morgan laughed and winked at me...the guy was cute, but um kinda weird can you say? haha anyway, then He said to morgan, "Is she always like this?" "yeah, she's always happy and hyper." He laughed...and then when i was ordering, I couldn't decide on what mcflurry to get, and i asked what his favorite was. He said probably oreo and m&ms. I said, "okay, ill go with that." Then some guy came over and said, "oh it doesnt work like that....you cant convert a drink to a mcflurry." he said, "oh ok. " the other kid left and the guy smiled at me and said, hold on ill be fast." He gave it to me as a drink...as we walked away the other guy came over and started yelling at him for giving me a discount that somehow didn't exist. I felt kinda bad, i was willing to pay...then morgan and i were eating in a corner and he came over and leaned on the back of a chair and started talking to us. he said, "sorry, I actually wasn't supposed to mix the two things together...it's not allowed...and I changed it to a drink, too." "Oh, well i can pay for that--" "No, no--i just thought you might want to know...so how are you guys?" It was realllyyy funny... then he left and some other worker came out of the bathroom. he recognized us...it was tyler thorton. he talked to us for a few minutes about the musical...then the one guy that had taken our orders came around the corner and saw his coworker and called out, "hey man--come on!" tyler left. Morgan watched over my shoulder---my back was to them. She stifled a laugh and whispered, "He's asking tyler if he knows us. nice." another worker passed buy us at least 6 times...he asked if we wanted napkins, asked how our food was, and then later asked if there was anything he could do for us, and then he said, "I'm your personal server for the night." ...we left as soon as we could, and burst out laughing when we got to the car. I turned to morgan and said, "that never happens to me when im not around you. whats up with YOU?" she laughed, "none of them even looked at me! it's YOUR Fault!!" it was pretty hilarious...apparently, workers at mcdonalds get boreddd with their long days....thats the best service ive ever had at a fast food restaurant...the one guy told us to come back more often....hm. eh, i doubt id be able to get a discount again.

anyway, our adventures at mcdonalds transferred to steak n shake, where we met chase and justin...they ordered and ate in 3 minutes flat, a triple steak burger and fries for each of them...they were eating pretty slow until morgan said, "we're gonna be late. whoever finishes first gets a kiss." Poor justin...chase won, they kissed, and we ran out the door...we were at the theater in perfect timing...and it was great, like ive said...now im going to bed, I have a show to do tomorrow...goodnight!!

Useless

What can you say? When the phone rings and your friend tells you--there's little you can do or say to help comfort the loss of a loved one. It's an impossible circumstance. But it's worse when you know you have knowledge that could help to heal them, that you know there is a plan and that they will be with their family again, that they will be together forever. And you just can't say it...so you stand and say, "I'm sorry, I love you, I'll be praying for you." Just like everyone else...and you feel worthless.
