Quarter numero uno is almost over!! I have experienced so much over the last 10 weeks. It has been a crazy time!

Also,
I have created a new blog. Which I have been posting in a lot more often than this one. So if you are reading this blog more often, you're gonna be disappointed.

COLLEGE!
So I moved into to Ohio University on Friday. So far it's going fairly well. Only two problems...
Home sickness.
Horrible, depressing, bawl your eyes out home sickness.
The first night was the worst. That was horrible. All alone my first night, and I was not mentally prepared. But on Saturday my parents came back to visit me one last time and it was so much easier saying goodbye that time, and I haven't full out cried since then. My eyes have gotten teary, not gonna lie, but no bawling in a couple days. :)
Getting L O S T.
No idea where I'm going half the time. I keep taking "short cuts" that I put together in my mind and instead of taking a short cut I end up at the wrong building or the wrong street. Ugh.
Classes start on Tuesday though! I also start my new job at Nelson Dining Hall at the Grab and Go so that'll be cool. I hope? Eeeeesheflehg..
*fingers crossed*

HEY! Yeah! I'm talkin' to you!
You know what's awesome? Having a job and being tired all the time. Awesomeness.
What's REALLY great is basically being in a zombie-like state of sleepless delirium even on your days off. Is this what it's like to be all growed up and adult-like? Yuck! Ship me to Neverland!
And jeez, I really never realized how hard I am to get along with before I got a job. I am quite literally annoyed by everyone, minus a very select few. Of all the employees at my Generic Fast Food place of employment, I genuinely like 12 of them.
That's right. I just counted.
And I guess it's not ME who's hard to get along with... Because I'm great. It's everyone else who is lacking in the smarts department, or they are just plain rude. You know what? That is a topic all on its own. Rudeness. Why is it necessary? Why can't everyone be nice? Why can't everyone be understanding and helpful to their fellow man? These are the questions we must ask ourselves.
Something I encounter on a nearly daily basis:
Impatient Customer: 'UM. What are you guys doing in there? I have LITERALLY been waiting two minutes.'
Really, people? Sometimes I tell someone, "Hey, we're waiting three minutes on the meat for your sandwich. I'm gonna have you pull up." And they roll their eyes at you and look all ticked off. Is that necessary? No. It's really not. The person working already hates their life, because, let's face it, no one wants to work at Generic Fast Food Restaurant. And you being a jerk seriously doesn't help the delicate internal balance of the fast food worker.
Thank goodness I'm going to college. I won't have to deal with that crap forever. I've only been there a little over a month and I already hate it passionately. Not to mention, job time is seriously cutting into my movie watching time :p
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be one of those people who whined about not having a job and now that they have one all they do is bitch about it. The job really isn't as horrible as I thought it would be. In my mind I had it compared to some horrible level of hell. But really it's not terrible. Most of the time I dread GOING to work, but when I get there I don't mind so much. And, like I said, I like 12 of my coworkers, and working with some of them here and there really helps my day be happier. I am just really put off by the rudeness of the customers. You see so many different types of people there. And some of those people are very kind! I love those people! Why can't we all be the kind customers? Life is so much more enjoyable that way.
You know, on a side note, I could create and entire blog of things customers have said to me already, and I haven't even been there two months! I bet the crazies who have been there 30+ years have some real humdingers.
Anyways, I should probably retire for the evening. I'm having what I believe is a going away party thrown for me tomorrow at my grandparent's house and the star of the show needs her beauty sleep! ;)
Until another time!

Okay, okay, time for some catch-up
ONE. Got a job. Sucks. Hate it just a little bit. Or a lot bit, whatever. But I have met some nice coworkers there who I actually enjoy. Let's just say customer service/people interaction isn't my cup of tea. People are so rude. It's really making me see the terrible attitude of humanity and American people. Everyone wants what they want when they want it and they don't want to be told otherwise. Nothing like a job at a fast-food joint to make you realize stuff like that.
TWO. Went through orientation at OU. I already met someone in my degree field who has my same viewpoints and we get along and stuff. It made me think it's not as hard to make friends as I thought it would be so that's encouraging. I'm taking a Theory I class, a Dictation and Sight Singing class, Psychology, Intro to Music Therapy, a choir class, and African Ensemble... Which I just thought sounded awesome, but it has been pointed out to me that I will probably be the only white person in there..... Never thought of that. So we'll see :P
THREE. Went to Ikea for dorm stuff today. Got lots of cute stuffffffffff. But I'm not taking any of it out of its packaging until I get to school, so I will post pictures of my dorm once I get there! Then you will get to see it all complete, which is better anyway :)

NEW POST! Finallyyyyyy.
Wow, so I haven't posted a blog in forever. It's not my fault, I swear! I've tried several times! But our internet likes to suck the big one, so, now I am at my grandparent's house and I decided to drop in for a quick 'hey, how'ya doin'.
A couple weeks ago we went on vacation to Put in Bay island off Lake Erie, and it was really nice. I enjoyed myself immensely. We also went to Cedar Point and that was pretty fun, not gonna lie. I liked it, AND I actually rode some roller coasters :) Unusual for poor scardy-cat Caitlin.
In a couple hours, we are leaving for somewhere near Columbus to stay at my mom's cousin (which makes her my second cousin?)'s house for the night, and in the morning we are going to Ohio University for my first day of orientation! Woo! I'm pretty nervous. I have to be by myself for most of the two days. I guess I have to break into that eventually but it will be a little frightening not to have mom and dad there helping me through the whole info-process. I have to sign up for classes and possibly buy my books, too. It's all becoming so real. O.o
Anyways, more posts to come when my internet isn't being stupid! Try not to miss me too much! :)

Doggieeeee.
I have this dog.
She's super cute,
And her name is Maggie.
And I looooove her :)
Maggie is a blonde cocker spaniel, and she's very pretty. But cocker spaniels require grooming, which is flipping expensive so I haven't ever had her groomed.
(Most of the time, when I have $50 sittting around, I'd rather buy cute clothes with it than get my dog's hair cut. Weird.)
But, her hair gets pretty long and nasty. It gets hard to wash too.
And now that it's summer, the poor thing was always dying of heat.
So, I broke down, and asked my dad to buy some hair clippers for Maggie. xP
We got some at Wal-Mart for only $23, which isn't bad at all.
And then two days ago we shaved her!
Now, I don't have any pictures of the real Maggie on hand,
because I just randomly decided to write this blog
and going to take pictures of her and then upload
them onto the internet just sounded like a big hassle.
So I went online and found the closest thing I could find to looking like her.
This ^^^^ Is what she normally looks like. Puffy, fluffy, uncomfy, yuckiness. But she's cute when she's fluffy, I think :)
BUT,
since we cut her hairs, she does look a lot better.
She looks much more feminine. I can't explain it. She just looks, more pretty and fancy
than white trash. xD
So now, she looks like this!
Haha, just kidding... That's fricking terrifying.
Why did that come up on google when I was looking at pictures of dogs?
Anyway,
She actually looks more like this:
But not exactly. Real Maggie is much cuter.
But this is kinda what her hair cut looks like, and I'm sure she likes it so much better :p

My Wednesday
I had an interesting day yesterday. It started out normal. I gave three piano lessons and then sat around until it was time to go to Decatur, which was at about 12:40. We got to Decatur and I went to McDonald's, where I was interviewed by Brenda who said, "This interview is just a formality, you're already hired, you know that." I think I died a little inside.
Anyways, then I went to Anytime Fitness to get mom, we went back to McDonald's for something, sat there a while, blah blah blah. I got to Becca's and we sat around there for a bit. Anyways, fast-forwarding past some of the boring stuff:
We are now at Pizza Hut! Yummy! We ate, and laughed, and said dumb stuff. Then we paid, and tipped. And left. Then we went to Zesto's. :D Which was delicious. Until a spider somehow found it's way into my cup. Then I had to throw it away =(
We ran into a couple friends there and talked for a little bit. Then we went to the park! We (which, I should probably clarify: we means Becca, Allie, and me) sat in the grass and had a grass-fight-break-out thing. It was intense. There is a big bald spot in the yard of the park that used to grow lush, green grass. . . Then we walked, all the way to the hospital where we sat inside in the air-conditioning for a bit before continuing our journey. We then watched a game of ultimate frisbee. Ehh, not exciting. Back to Becca's house we went!
Stayed there for a little while, it was almost getting dark at this point. Then we went to Monmouth Elementary, and climbed on the roof and took lots of pictures.
Then back to Becca's, and Allie and I left. We picked up Kristofer from his brother's house, then Allie drove me to my house and I came inside and went to bed! It was much more fun if you were there.. :p

New book!
Well, it's not really NEW.. Just new to my mental list of favorite books.
I believe I read The Giver many years ago for school, but I just re-read it again yesterday and remember how good it is.
The whole idea of a colt-like community always interests me. It's a very intriguing book and it's not terribly demanding on your reading stamina. It's just interesting and easy to read, and I re-enjoyed it very much.

Graduation party!
I've been too lazy to blog lately, and I apologize for that. That's pretty sad isn't it? When you're feeling too lazy to sit in front of a computer in a comfy chair and just type some silly, whimsical stuff on a fun website? Well, sad as it may be, it's true. But I'm back!
Since I last blogged, I had my graduation party. So I'm gonna tell about that. Yep. :)
It was on Saturday, June 18th. We sent out about 200 invitations and, in all, I bet there were maybe 150 people there? I dunno. It was a lot. That's just a guess. But there were lotsa people. We had the tables decorated with blue tablecloths and we had music note and graduation hat confetti to sprinkle atop the tables. Then we had these neat little picture box things to set on the tables for people to look at and say, "Awww, she's so cute." I never witnessed such a comment, but I'm sure it was said many times. ;)
I got up at 6:30 that morning. Yeah. Gross. But, I showered and got all dressed up in my pretty dress and did my hair and make-up and stuff, then we went to my church at 8:00 AM to finish setting stuff up, making the food, and for me to practice my recital. Incase you didn't know already, I held my Sr. Recital the same day as my party. So the recital started at 11:00, and the food followed. Then the party at our house with the bouncy castle came at 4:00. For my recital, I had three of my students play a song and they all did very well. They were so cute :) Then I played nine songs. I played:
Arabesque #1
Cannon in D Major
Nocturne in G Minor, Op., 37 No. 1
The Medallion Calls
Sonata Facile, 1st. Mvtmt.
Sonata in C Majoy, 1st Mvtmt.
Venetian Boat Song
Traumerei
and Nocturne in E Flat Major.
It all went over very well, and I played acceptably. And I was met by a standing ovation :) Which is a good confidence booster. I wasn't really terribly nervous while I was playing my recital. I was more nervous when I had to address the crowd with your usual, "Thanks for coming, I really appreciate it," blah blah blah. But, I got through it, and then the recital was over! Whew. That was the most stressful part of the day. Then immediately following, I went out into the fellowship hall and got bombarded by "Good job!"s and "That was so great!"s. Then when I was finally able to, I got in the food line and had some of my mom's delicious food. I continued talking to people, small talk and how are you's and all that stuff. Then eventually everybody left and we started packing everything up, cleaning up the church, putting things away, and heading back to my house for the "after party". Of course, loading everything into the cars to go home was no fun at all, but it went faster with all of my friends helping. <3
Anyways, we went back to my house, and the guys from the store came in their little truck and set up the bouncy house and dropped off the cotton candy machine. Yummy :) More people continued to file in. Actually, people continued to file in until about 10 or 11 that night. I saw lots of people that I haven't seen in a long time, and it was nice to see them. :) The party all went over well. I had a blast and I talked to most of the people there, although looking back there are select few people that I didn't talk to as much as I would have liked. Oh well, though. It's all in the past :p
For those of you who aren't well acquainted with me, when I get to a certain extent in my fatigue, I become very unpleasant and grumpy and I shut down socially. That is when it is time for me to go to bed ASAP, before I bite someone and give them rabies. I got that way around midnight that night, which is understandable. I had been doing prep work for the party for weeks prior to the actual party, and the night before I had been up late with friends, and that morning I got up at 6:30, so I think I did pretty well. I'm surprised I made it to midnight.. xP.
After I hit my grouchy state, I went outside and said goodnight to the remaining party-goers and I went to bed, which, my friends following suit, did also. I fell asleep, but it didn't last as long as I would have liked, since I had to go to church the next morning. Which I wasn't too thrilled about, and possibly didn't have the proper attitude one should have while going to church on a Sunday morning.... But that's alright, I got through it and God didn't smite me in my ungrateful state. :) He is so good. :p
The next day, I opened all my cards and counted all the money, I also opened my gifts. I ended up with a hefty sum of money, which I am quite pleased with and so thankful for, and gifts of: a quesadilla maker, a $100 gift card to Ikea, a $25 Wal Mart giftcard (which I used some of yesterday to buy quesadilla supplies :p), a jewelry box, a CD, some earrings, and some very delicious smelling perfume from Bath and Body. :)
Directly following the opening of all of these things, I began writing thank-you notes, which I did for three days straight. I finally finished and got them all sent out! As more cards come in the mail, I write the thank-you note immediately, shut it up in an envelope, address it, stamp it, and put it back in the mailbox. :P

New website!
So about a week ago I discovered this website called Pinterest. I thought I'd try it out, because it looked interesting. And I waited to post something about it until I had decided what my opinion was. And the verdict is: I love it.
The idea of pinterest is you make separate "boards" and you put (or, pin) pictures that pertain to the topic of that board. You can make a board of anything you want. I've seen some with just pictures of umbrellas (which I love) and some with just pictures of sunglasses, etc. It's a lot of fun. And you can repin other people's pins, or you can get pins from all across the web.
It has an interesting way of allowing you to make a profile, though. Instead of having a simple link that says, "Get pinning!" or something like that, you have to be invited to the website. O.o It took a couple days for me, but for a friend it took less than 24 hours. So maybe it just depends on how busy they are or something. Then once they allow you to create a profile, you can do whatever you want. I like it a lot. I believe it is my new internet obsession :P
http://pinterest.com/thefease/
So, yeah. You should make a profile and then follow me. 'Cause it's awesome. And I need followers :P

Tales of the concert :D
So, long story short: that concert was flipping amazing and so surreal. :) But I'm not going to stick with just the short version, so here goes the play by play, woohoo! :
We got to Indy at about 5:15 maybe? And we were in line by 5:30. We waited for about an hour, and then the doors opened and we were led inside for pocket checks and ticket checking. Then we were led downstairs into this underground-looking club/bar, which was pretty cool, not gonna lie. It was lit up all neat and everything.
Before I go on, this is what the theater looked like:
It was very pretty. We were in the Egyptian Room of the theater, but I can't find a picture of that online so you just have to use your imagination :P
So it was a nice place, I enjoyed it. Anyways, so we waited in the underground area for not too long. Then we were released from our holding cell into the hallways and staircases that led us to the Egyptian Room. We were probly like, 12-15 rows of people away from the stage? So we were pretty darn close. We stood there for an hour, which, I might add, was the longest hour of my life. And during that time people continued to file in from the doors so that by the time the first band started, it was pretty packed in there.
There were two opening bands, as is customary. The first was called Funeral Party and I don't think I liked them too much. I would have to listen to recordings of their songs to be sure, but from what I heard I'm leaning toward dislike. They played for half an hour, then the lights came on and we waited like 30-35 minutes for them to set up for the next band. During Funeral Party, I couldn't see at all. I swear, the guy in front of me was like 7 feet tall. >.< But that's alright. Then when the second opening band ('Fun' ... Yeah, that's literally the name. I had never heard of them but I think they must be pretty popular because there were some people that came just to see them) finally came on stage, everyone in the back of the crowd decided to push forward and try to get to the front. So we were pushed and shoved and I was plastered against this guy in front of me who was a bit of a bigger guy, and he was holding his ground for a few seconds. And since I was being pushed so hard from the huge crowd behind us, I couldn't breathe for a second, which was pretty terrifying. I sent up an earnest prayer and then the fat guy moved. During this time of pushing and shoving and stampeding, Allie and I got separated from Becca. But we found her after they left the stage, plus I saw which way she went when we got separated, and we got super close to the stage, so it was alright :P
Anyways, so Fun came out and played for maybe 45 minutes? And they were alright, I think. But again, I'd have to listen to recordings of their music to be sure, but I probly won't :P. They were fun though. (pun intended.) Then they went off the stage and we had to wait another 30-40 minutes for them to set up for Panic!. That was annoying. My legs were starting to get tired from standing so long. >.>. And then, finally, Panic! At the Disco emerged from side-stage and placed themselves at their instruments. And they were amazing. Brendon Urie looks just as great in person as he does on the internet :P. They all sounded great live, and the two guys that they got to replace Ryan and Jon were very good. The set list that I had found was mostly correct, but I think they must change things up a little bit, because there were some additional ones in there. Altogether, they played:
Ready to Go
The Ballad of Mona Lisa
Hurricane
Always
Calendar
Nearly Witches
(not in that order)
But they also did some extra stuff. They brought out the lead singer of Fun for this one song that they both sang, and I didn't know that song. Brendon also rapped a little, which was sooo odd. By the time I thought, "Hmm. I should maybe be recording this." he was done. So I think he only rapped a few lines. But I'm okay with that. They also did Carry on My Wayward Son as one of the encore songs, and they actually sounded really great. He was funny too, which is always a plus.
I had a blast and I would love to see them again sometime.
And now, the pictures! Enjoy :)

CONCERT.
I'm seeing Panic! At the Disco TOMORROW. Can I get an, "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPP!!!!!!!!" ? I am so excited. Who wouldn't be excited to be in the same room as.... THIS guy!
I hope I get to talk to him. Or hug him. Or have a picture with him. Or something, at least. I am about to fulfill a 5-year-old dream here. And it isn't even denting the pocketbook! Only $35. I think that's a pretty sweet deal.
I looked up a setlist for the show, and it looks like they're going to be playing,
The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage,
But It's Better If You Do,
The Ballad of Mona Lisa,
That Green Gentleman,
Camisado,
Let's Kill Tonight,
Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off,
Northern Downpour,
I Write Sins, Not Tragedies,
Science Fiction/Double Feature (which is apparently a cover from Rocky Horror Picture Show, but I've never seen it),
Nine in the Afternoon,
and Nearly Witches.
Is that amazing or WHAT!?
And the encore songs are New Perspective and Mad as Rabbits. I am thrilled :D I hope this list is correct because I would be a happy little teenage girl.
I'm sure I will write all about it when I get back on Saturday, and hopefully I'll have some pictures to share, also. Stay posted! :)
So fine. ;D

Kitten? Whaaaat?
My dad found another wild creature outside yesterday. (Did I ever mention the first one? He found a turtle outside a couple weeks ago that has become an addition to the family.)
Anyways, yesterday I was cleaning off the front porch and dad was mowing the yard. And he stopped the mower and walked over to the garden and said, "What the heck was that?!" and he picked it up. I walked over there to investigate, and it was a kitten. So me, being nurturing and motherly, (:p) went inside to see if I could find it something to eat, despite my great dislike for cats/kittens.
I brought it some dog food and milk (because I have no idea what to feed a cat.) and it didn't really eat anything.. And I messed with it a little bit, and held it a while, and then I decided that since it was wet from me spraying it with the hose (whoops)
I should take it inside and hold it in a towel for a while. So that's what I did.
Then my sister came home.
Ten year old girl-ness broke loose with an, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! KITTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! CAN WE KEEP IT?! CAN WE KEEP IT?!? PLEASE!!!!!!!!"
Poor mom. I figured mom would be the bad buy and say that it had to go outside, and she did, but it pretty weak like she didn't actually want to crush Julia's extreme excitement.
Then last night Julia let it sleep in Maggie's cage (which Maggie didn't really appreciate...) and it has been in the house all day today. So it's been in our house for over 24 hours now. And today, mom (aka: big softy) took Julia to Wal-Mart and bought her a litter pan, litter... stones? I don't know what they're called. And a kitty bed. And kitten food. It made me chuckle inside. That cat is gonna have to stay in Julia's room though. I hate cats, and so do both of my parents, not to mention that mom is really allergic. We're more of dog people...
So now, we have two huge dogs, one medium-sized dog, a turtle, and a kitten. All in our house that is really not that big to begin with. Sheesh.

Thought bubble RE:
If we could just separate this thing from the humans...
Is it weird that I just posted a picture of my animals with a thought bubble RE? I think it is a little weird. I feel like a creepy animal person now.

Sun hats and summer clothes
Today is a bright, beautiful, summery-like day. And it makes me want to post pictures of sun hats and summer clothes. Enjoy :)
New stuff: 5/28/11
So, guess what. I went shopping on Saturday. And I got new stuff! Which I am going to share with you now.
Actually, now that I think about it, I only got two things at the mall. I got liquid eyeliner! *Duh-duh-duhhhhh!* I had never used it before but Lexy told me to try hers. And then I decided that I would have to get some because I liked it a lot. And then they had some at the mall for only $2! : O. I thought that since it was so cheap that it might be of crappy quality or something, but I wore it all day yesterday from the time I got up to the time I went to bed, and it never wore off :) So I have a new favorite make up.
Also, I bought a dress!
I have had the dress picked out that I want to wear to my graduation party for a while now, but when I saw this at the store Saturday I thought that it would be perfect for my party, so I got it. :)
Only $10!
The dress is really, really cute on me. Unfortunately, I'm not really, really cute today. So a distant picture of the dress on a hanger will have to suffice :P
They have cute clothes, cute purses/accessories, and they carry good make-up lines, too. Like, for instance, Soap and Glory. :D
I <3 Soap and Glory products.
http://www.soapandglory.com/us/ .. <<check it out.
While at Target, I went to the cosmetics aisle specifically looking for S&G, but they didn't have any for some reason? Stupid. Anyways, I ended up grabbing some cosmetic sponges for $1, because all of mine are really nasty and old. So now I have white, brand-new, pretty ones.
("yaaaaaay." <<said in the Monty Python and the Holy Grail tone.)
Lexy and Kensie wanted to see Source Code, which I had never heard of. So I trusted their judgment (not to mention the ticket only cost $3, so it wasn't that big of a deal). And it was really good, actually.
It kinda reminded me of The Matrix a little.
It was kinda Sci-fi-ish, too. (And yes, I spelled it Sci-fi, because Syfy is a retarded spelling.)
It was definitely an action movie, but it wasn't so far out that it made it stupid, because some action movies go too far. There wasn't anything bad in it either, which I appreciate. And even though I can't STAND the main actor....
I still liked it.
I mean really, how great is this store? It's one of my favorites. Look at all that junk you can go through!
I love stuff like that. You can never have too much of it. Never.

They also had masquerade masks there this time, which we seized the opportunity to entertain ourselves with.
Overview:
My Saturday was pretty productive. We left Lexy's house to go to the mall in Dayton at about 12:30, so we got there at 1:30. And we went into pretty much every store that looked like it had something to offer. We were at the mall until about 3:30. Then we noticed that there was a dollar theater sharing a parking lot with the mall, so we checked to see what movies were playing at what times, and we had an hour and a half to kill until our movie started. So we went to Target, and Guitar Center. Then to the movie theater. We decided to see Source Code (which I will also write about), and then after that we went to Pier 1 and we were in there for quite a while. Then we started the venture home, but by that time we were hungry again so we stopped to eat at Friendly's on the way. Okay, here we go:Chapter one: the drive.
None of us brought any CDs to listen to on the one hour drive to Dayton. So we listened to crappy radio music the whole time. Blek.Chapter two: the mall.

Chapter four: Guitar Center.
I didn't buy anything here. But Kensie, Lexy, and I were in the drums section beating on the drums and a worker came over to us and asked us if we play. We said no... And I felt like an idiot.Chapter five: the movie.
Lexy and Kensie wanted to see Source Code, which I had never heard of. So I trusted their judgment (not to mention the ticket only cost $3, so it wasn't that big of a deal). And it was really good, actually.

I still liked it.
Chapter six: Pier 1
We were in here quite a while. There's so much to look at, and so many comfy chairs to sit in!I mean really, how great is this store? It's one of my favorites. Look at all that junk you can go through!
I love stuff like that. You can never have too much of it. Never.

Chapter seven: The drive home/Friendly's.
Gotta love Friendly's. We got in there and ordered our food, then about 20 minutes later our waiter (who was very nice and funny) came up to us and said, "Well, I hope you guys aren't in a rush.... Because I just realized that I accidentally forgot to turn in your order.. So I did that about five minutes ago!" and we told him it was alright and we just sat there for a while talking and giggling. Then our food came, and we ate it. And it was delicious. And we got ice cream, because you can't go to Friendly's without getting ice cream. And then we came home!
Where Mackensie made us watch The Beautician and the Beast. And it was stupid. Don't watch it, ever.
