Time	Event
2:00a	Wow, this has been an eventful day! OK, first of all, I swear I totally deserve to die. Like, Abby and I were going up to our rooms (cuz we're on the same hall) and we both had to go to the bathroom. I went into the bathroom first, and she followed, joking that I took the stall she was going for. So I close the stall door behind me, and then I randomly read a statement from one of the thingys taped to the back of the door to make Abby laugh since I heard her get in a stall nearby. "Thou shall not weigh more than thy refrigerator," I read aloud with a little chuckle. Then a little moment later, I hear the door open and Abby's voice comes shockingly to me as she explains that she hasn't been in there until just now. I laugh and say how I've been talking to some random person then, and that that girl must think I'm a retard now. We laugh about it, and then I come out of the stall and wait for Abby. I see almost immediately that the person in the third stall is tall enough that the top of her head can be seen over the stall door... and I realize that only one person on our hall is that tall... Paula. She's so sweet, but she's abnormally tall, and also... well... how do you put this kind of thing nicely without sounding like a big jerk?! She's just abnormally large... I FELT HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!! I wanted to absolutely crawl under a rock and DIE!!! Of all the statements on that one sheet I could have read, I HAD to read the one involving weight... I kept thinking, why is God punishing me?!?! Seriously, what are the odds of me reading THAT ONE statement while THAT ONE person is in the stall near mine???????? GAAAAAAH!! I hope she doesn't think I knew it was her and said that on purpose to be mean... and most importantly, I hope she isn't hurt by that. Even if she hates me forever, as long as she doesn't get hurt, I don't care what happens to me. I probably deserve it for being such an ass. I was only meaning to joke around with Abby, but now it's all SUCKAGE. Geez... But on a lighter note, something really awesome and good happened later tonight. Robbie, Abby, and I went to Arby's for a little snack after our cereal/bagel meal at school (everything else was scarcely edible LoL). We had mostly change with which to pay for our food, and I felt kind of bad for having all these pennies and stuff... but yeah, I handed the guy behind the counter 4 quarters as one dollar, and then I showed him a handfull of pennies, nickels, and dimes for another dollar. I asked if he would like me to count it, but he said, "Nah, I trust ya" and took the change. He told us he understood about college kids trying to get rid of some of that heavy load of change. Then Abby and Robbie had this cupful of change, and they took out as much as would be the total for the food they got... Then the guy offered to change the REST of their coins in the cup to bills. They were like, "wow, sure, ok!" and he was all nice about everything. He even told us a story about how, when he was in college, they'd collect a bunch of coupons and combine them with just a dollar or something to get a pizza hahahhah. Then we sat down at a table and started munching. Not long afterward, one of the girls working there brought out a tray with chicken strips, two things of fries (one curly fry AND one regular) - I mean, this is like $6 worth of food or something - and we kind of gave her a this-is-the-wrong-table look. At that, she was like "He told me to give you this" and nodded toward the kitchen area. We were like "WHOA" and I couldn't for the life of me stop saying "aww..." So we decided to hop over to Walmart real fast a buy a card and write a thank-you note to the Arby's crew! And we did just that. When we handed the guy the card, he had the funniest look on his face, and he laughed cuz Abby was turning beet red, she was laughing so hard from the excitement and nervousness of it all. We admitted that we are such geeks, but that's okay! We did a good deed, yay! ^_^ Then we watched A Walk To Remember. First time I'd seen it, and certainly not the last time, cuz I loved it - but it made me CRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gah-lee. Cried like a baby, I did. Ok, I'm going to bed now, cuz the three of us are going to Old Time Holiness tomorrow morning... which is rumored to be some snake-handling church... We are going to find out if the rumors are true, and if they are, we intend to run like heck if the congregation tries to put the snakes on us!! I'll tell you how it went tomorrow... if I make it out alive LoL. Current Mood: sleepy Current Music: Serenity, by Godsmack (2 Comments | Comment on this)
1:25p	Old Time Holiness Church!!!! Okay, seriously, that church ended up not being a snake-handling church, at least not today, but they were definitely weird. We figure they probably do handle snakes but only occasionally, kinda like the way communion works. They don't have any windows in the building, so who knows what kind of weird crap they could get away with and DO get away with! At any rate, they didn't need the snakes to be freaky! Holy crap, the pastor starts screaming at the top of his lungs and slams his hand down on the podium many times......... I was very uncomfortable, AND I was trying SO HARD to keep a straight face - or at least not burst out laughing. The people of the congregation were kinda odd too.. There were like 14 of them, and only 2 were men (and of course this isn't including the pastor). Plus, there were all these kids running around during the service. All the women had extremely long and rather frizzy hair... They all had the same look about them, and they looked like they were all related.. YEESH... When the pastor was praying, they were all mumbling and stuff... I couldn't tell if they were actually saying something or if they were speaking in tongues. Either way, though, I'm not accustom to that way of doing things. I'm not into the overly charismatic thing, so I definitely felt weird being there. We left before it was over cuz the guy kept saying he was gonna close with one last thing but then it would go on for like half an hour... So when we all got back to Robbie's truck, we burst out laughing and started talking about it; apparently we were all thinking the very same things all through the service. Hehehe, we agreed that it was definitely an experience.... Next week we're gonna try to find another weird place to go, mwahaha! Oh, and also, I found out last night that a lot of remains from ritual animal sacrifices have been found in the caves up at Pocket, so there are like Satan worshippers around here - EEP!! Like, Ben was telling me that one of the profs (don't remember who though) found in one cave a pentagram and a deer strung up with its throat slit... *cries* Dayton is a scawwy pwace. Heh. Dude, I swear, Tennesseeans... Now on to to my homework that desperately needs to get done... I swear, I'm gonna end up pulling all my hair out by the end of the semester from the absolute ocean of stress running over me!! I have a quiz in Zoology tomorrow morning and I don't even have a book to study from yet!!! MERGH.
