I have TWO stories for this entry... oh yes get excited.
~The Date(?)~
So this weekend my friend Adam came into town and asked me to go out Olives with him and some of his highschool friends. I know Adam through loooooong time friend Erica Silvester Mabe... Adam is her brother-in-law. Ive hungout with Adam a handful of times at weddings, a DMB concert, and a few other times. So i know him but i dont really knoooooow him. But I decided to go anyways. I had nothing to lose, I am single after all, and if it blows then he lives an hour from atlanta! Hah!
So i get all dolled up and arrive to Olives a fashionable 20mins late... *deep breath* (dates scare me) ... and meet Adam. As predicted there are at least 15 people there... boys and girls. Talk about throughing yourself into the lions den... i know how girls can be about "their boys" but i was ready none the less... or so i thought! I was ready until Adam explained the situation to me... I was first introduced to a couple people and then after re-arranging some chairs Adam and I sat down. So i look around and realize im in a sea of couples (fuck! and i tell myself not to freakout *deep breaths*) and Im cool... im cool until... until Adam points to a girl, a girl with big boobs and a size 00 tight dress, and whispers thats my ex girlfriend, shes been acting weird tonight. Oh.Shit. It dawns on me that I am in a see of couples plus Adam's ex girlfriend and that all those couples are bff with the ex, which they made known... shit.shit.shit. That makes me that girl, that girl that everyone hates because I'm the stand in random skank Adam has brought to through in an exs face. So... ex proceeds to get completely smashed... and rightfully so. She shot patron like a damn champ. I would do the same.
So now its me, Adam, ex's bff coupled friends, and a drunk off tequila ex girlfriend. Im not sure if awkward even covers it. But wait it gets worse.
So ex proceeds to sit next to me (of course) and now im in an ex sandwhich with all eyes on me. So Adam makes some face at ex. And she asks what that looks was for, he goes nothin dont worry about it, and she slurs back no tell me, and hes like i dont know it was nothing (this goes on another two times) and then she goes i dont know isnt a good answer, and Adam responds with "marissa, its just never good enough" shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Talk about the wrong damn thing to say... doesnt he know its illegal to play the "its not good enough card" on an ex infront of people! So she does the shuttering deep breath girls do when their hearts break, cries, and runs off to the other table. So i play the "my friend just broke up with her boyfriend and is really upset, i need to be with her" card... done, and exit. Then i went to the house and watched letterman with jesse and rook (freakin figures)
This is why I dont date... people with my luck don't date... we text and makeout.
~What in the Walmart!?!~
So im pretty sure i was racially profiled at Walmart last night. For serious.
So I go to walmart about 11ish at night and grab some stuff.... hangers, dish soap, a toothbrush, gum, a new memory foam pillow, and a basket. I check out with the lady at the counter and pay with $100 bill (yeah, i roll with benjamins!) So the lady has to get at least 3 people to look at the bill before she busts out the real bill pen thing... So im kinda of frustrated it took three walmart employees and too long to purchase 6 things. But ugh, whatever I through my change and receipt into my mary poppins purse and head for the door. So I've got the basket with all the hangers and stuff in my left hand and the pillow that has been bagged on my right as I head for the door alongside 4 black people and a hispanic couple who have tons of shit... walkin, walkin, and then the +60 yr old black, female, walmart "greeter" (which i have renamed the walmart "pain in my damn ass" Wpimda for short") stops me and is like ma'am i need to check your things. Ugh, of course you do... so I show her my stuff anf she goes ma'am i need to see the receipt. Of course you do, you wicked hag. So i put all my stuff down on the ground and proceed to dig around in my purse so the freakin receipt. So I finally find it, pull it out and show it to her. Wpimda must be a blind ass bitch because even with her 3in thick glasses lens she holds the paper up to her nose and proceeds to read through the list... then she takes the basket and starts digging around through all 5 things in it. I mean shes practically got her entire head in the basket looking for something i might have pilfered somewhere in the 20 foot distance from checkout to exit door. I mean shes going at it like ive thrown shit in hidden pockets somewhere in the basket. So im standing there with a half ass smile on my face while screaming "fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you woman" in my head. So finally shes like ok, i guess you can go. So i take the reciept and throw it back into my purse and begin to pick up my things again. Take two steps along side another black couple with more shit than me and the woman stops me again "and goes ma'am wait, I didnt see that pillow on the receipt" I scream more obscenities in my head at her, drop my shit, and start digging for the receipt AGAIN. I more or less throw the receipt at her and in a stern manner go "its.the.first.one.on.the.list....ma'am" She peers down at the receipt then picks up the pillow, takes it out of the bag that the check out woman put it in WHEN I BOUGHT IT... and checks the fucking bar code on pillow box to match the receipt. At this point, i blurt out "seriously, I paid for my shit...ma'am" (a good southern girl always throughs in the ma'am) She stares blankley at the receipt and pillow box for another minute, puts the receipt in the bag with the pillow... and goes "ok, have a good night" AHHHHHHHHHHH!? Honestly, how many little white girls steal pillows from walmart at 11pm?!
I seriously almost decked a senior citizened walmart employee last night. Next time im going to fuck with her and hand her a Kroger receipt... hah!
On a happier note... this is my new favorite song, "when im with you" by Matt Ryczek... i like it, its real
your smile brightens my day
you chase those clouds away
and the sun
it shines through
when i see you
love it when our eyes meet across the room
so surreal and everything feels so good
just a look just a glance
all i need is a second chance
and your grin has no end
i'm sorry we're currently just friends
but maybe
will be one more together
until then this love song's for a friend
and your smile brightens my day
you chase those clouds away
and the sun shines through
when i see you
go ahead and act like you don't know who i am
that way you won't have to show me your hand
but a got lady is a card played baby
what'd you say we make the bet you and me yeah
if i win i get you
if you lose you get me
either way we both walk away
very pleased
either way we both walk away
very pleased
tick toc on the clock
is wasting away
i'm not going anywhere
i'll stay
cuz i got this feeling
deep inside that
you and i
are going to get by
your smile brightens my day
you chase those clouds away
and the sun
it shines through
and your smile brightens my day
and you chase those clouds away
and the sun it shines through
when i see you
