Oof. Where to start?
Sunday was me and Jon's 2 month aniversary. Which is spelled wrong. Anniversary? That looks vaguely more right. Whatever.
So, I was supposed to be dropped off at his house at 11. Kerry was coming with us because her and Mum were going to go shopping at the mall afterwards. I think there was some sort of sale at some department store.
Anyway, we always stop at Dunkin Donuts on the way up, because A) it's on the way, and B) I don't usually have time to eat breakfast before we leave, and C) it stops me from whining that I'm thirsty.
Well, we pulled in and Mum was like, "The drivethru line's too long. Go in Erin." And then she started arguing with Kerry about what either of them wanted. They could just get Cinnabon at the mall, but maybe they should have something now, etc etc. And what they wanted kept changing. So finally, we got it down. But I wasn't going to be able to carry everything back to the kah, so I made Kerry come in with me, and she started whining about that.
It was insanely hectic in there. I felt so bad for the people behind the counter cuz there were so many people and everyone was pissed off cuz the line was so long and it was taking so long. The girl doing the bagels couldn't keep track of what they needed because, unlike at a normal establishment, what people orders doesn't go on a screen or on a slip of paper. The cashiers are just like, "I need a plain bagel with plain cream cheese and a blueberry with plain and a poppy with plain" And when there's 2 cashiers plus a drivethru... Yeadh.
But so Kerry was getting all pissed off cuz she had to stand in line. So I was just like, "Whatever. Let's just leave." But she decided that we couldn't cuz Mum would get pissed off and I was like, Well, she didn't really want food... I'm the only one who wants food... But whatever. So we went and stood waiting for out bagels, and Kerry's came along with the drinks, so I just sent her out to the car with her and mum's stuff. Then I called Jon to tell him I was going to be a bit late, and finally the girl was like, "What are you waiting for?" And I told her and got my bagel, and left.
We were in there for nigh on half an hour. The drivethu would have been much shorter.
Am I the only one that notices that?? Drivethru orders tend to get precidence. Which is spelled wrong. So even if there's a long line, if there's a long one inside, it would still be better to go to the drivethru.
Reminds me I have a post about fastfood places and drivethrus and just blah in general that I need to make.
Anyway, I finally got to Jon's house and Mum was like, "I'm not leaving till he comes out here and talks to me."
The ways that she tries to get involved in my life really bug me. It's like, she doesn't want to talk to me, interact with me. She would much rather talk to the people around me. But that's not going to change. So I should just learn to ignore her and get over it.
So. We left for his show almost right after that. I chilled down in the... Shit, what is that room called? Whatever. The place where the actors chill before the show. I met lotsa people. Like the girl he tutors. At least, I think it was her... Anyway, she's awesome. I like her. But yeah, there were a bunch of really cool people.
The show was really good. "Once on this Island" I think it was called? Something very similar, at least. Good music, good actors, good voices for the most part. It reminded me how good guys look in... tanktops? Wife beaters? What the fuck are those things called?
Anyway. Then we went to the cast party at Andy's. That was fun. He had a MoonBounce thing. I didn't go in, though. And a hammock. :-) I like hammock's. They're comfy and they don't make my back hurt. Jon jumped on it, at one point, and it flipped over and he fell off. It was hilarious. :-D
Oh, and it was Father's Day and I'm pretty sure I never said "Happy Father's Day" to Da. What a tragedy. I definitely didn't get him anything. Whatever.
But yeah, so that was Sunday. Jon's a part of Dance Revelasian and they were doing performances at Raytheon Monday through Thursday. So Monday morn', we went to that. 'Twas quite amusing. Raytheon's weapons defense stuff, or some shit like that. And we had escorts and couldn't go anywhere alone. And if any of the people were going to bring someone else, they had to call 24 hours in advance. Which we didn't do any of the 3 times I was with them, but it wasn't a problem. Kind of amusing.
Anyway, they were all really good and it was fun to watch. I didn't mind going 3 times, even though for the most part it was exactly the same. They got better every time, though. We went to a random fastfood place for breakfast every day and got free lunch at Raytheon every day.
I spent a lot of money these past 4 days.
Monday night, he was too tired to take me home and Mum couldn't come pick me up cuz she was chaperoning a dance, so I got to stay another night. Then on Tuesday night, I just plain didn't want to go home, and miraculously Jon wasn't like, "Dude. I hate you. Leave." yet, so I stayed another night.
We played games with his family, and went to a lake for a pic-ih-nic dinner twice. Kinda made me wish I brought my bathing suit, even thought I despise swimming in anything that's not crystal clear and chlorinated and bug-plant-deadthing-less.
I ate fish, one night. Which is a major miracle for me, cuz I despise fish. But I wasn't going to be like, "Well, I don't really like fish..." I hate doing that. When I was at my Aunt's house for a week one summer back when Cinnamon was still alive, we had melon for breakfast every morning. I don't like melon. But I wasn't like, "Um... I don't really like melon, can I have something else?" I just picked at it a bit and skipped breakfast in general. I just really dislike being a problem. And it's what I see as other people thinking would be a problem, not what other people actually think is a problem.
Oh. I just realized that when I'm typing and thinking a lot, I tend to leave the endings off of words and stuff. -ly, -ing, -ed, -s tend to disappear a lot and I have to go back and fix them if I see them in time.
Anyway. One night me and Jon were talking about my little neurosis that I have when I'm around other people and stuff. I don't remember how we brought it up, but thinking about it made me see how really ridiculous some of them are. Doesn't mean I'll stop, but whatever. Ya know?
First of all, I hate taking showers in other people's houses. If I'm just staying for one night, I take a shower right before I leave and then one right after I get home, as opposed to one before i leave and one in the morning at the person's house. It's kind of funny because I don't mind my room being a pigsty, the rest of the house being a pigsty, being outside and getting filthy. But I can't stand a dirty bathroom. In mine, I know exactly what everything is and when it was last cleaned and all that. Surprisingly enough, taking a shower at Jon's house wasn't ":-/" so much as "Hmm... I think I could handle this if I had to stay here for a long period of time..." (whenever we go on band trips, I'm absolutely miserable for that week cuz hotel bathrooms are disgusting).
I hate hate HATE being a problem. I'd rather not eat for a week than say "Um... I'm not a big fan of x..." I'd rather be bored to tears, than be like, "Hey, can we do something different?" Although, that one's not really a problem because, in reality, it's really hard for me to get bored. I'm amused by the simplest of things, as much as it seems like I'm not.
Anyway, there's a lot of other little stuff that's not worth mentioning here. Back to your regularly scheduled programming.
I just realized how long this is. I'll write more later or tomorrow or something. Most of the rest of what I was planning on writing is just me thinking about stuff and over analyzing stuff and all that. Have a nice day!!

yeah, I tend to remember really inconsequential things from a long time ago. but if you were like, "Tell me everything you guys did on Tuesday" I would be like, "Uh... dance thing... fish for dinner? I think??" and not be able to remember any of it.
I announce it when I'm changing topics? I didn't realize that... Weird... :-P
Yeah, I guess I'm just in a talkative mood today. How come you ditched us for the movies?!?
