My favorite experience at Olive Garden was when me, my sister, and a group of our friends went out to dinner and I told the waiter it was my sister's birthday so he should bring out a cake...except it wasn't her birthday LOL When the cake came out she was all excited to see who's birthday it was, but when she realized where it was going her face turned to "Oh sh*t." Then my friend kept telling everyone she was 32 (she's 19) and how she looked amazing for her age.

Aaaand I just realized I have a story for everything LOL

it was after the handbell conference

First, I glanced and thought that said "handjob" conference.

Second, what's a handBELL conference anyway?

handjob conferences are fun, but not as much fun as handbell conferences :P
well, basically, its where 40 or so choirs of handbell ringers (usually around 500 people total) all come together to rehearse 5 or so songs with a conductor, and we take classes and such too. SO much fun! this year it was in Richmond, so we didn't have to get a hotel, but oh man so cool. Picture this video times a huge convention center full of ringers and you get a conference lol
handbells!

LOL! But come to think of it, I think I was in a bell choir in 5th grade or something. I was that kid who rang their bell when they weren't supposed to.

"I was that kid who rang their bell when they weren't supposed to."
The woman in our choir who does that is called Judy... lol at the conference, someone else named Judy did that and the conductor was like "whats your name" she said "judy" and our whole table burst out laughing! ll

LADIES! THIS IS WEIRD!
Ok, so I had a dream last night that my friend changed his twitter to "I LOVE BAGELS! but I need sleeeeeeep!"

Well, I looked at Ingrid Michaelsons (Singer) twitter just now, and hers says "What is better than a bagel? not much"

Isn't that bizarre?! I swear, she gets me lol this is why I love her music

OMG! I'm currently having a discussion with a friend that's making me want to tear my hair out in frustration! Having discovered that Song of the South isn't available on DVD, she's somehow come to the conclusion that all kids books today are rubbish. As a massive fan of contemporary children's literature, I'm getting quite up-in-arms about defending it, offering specific examples and explaining how things have improved SO MUCH over the last twenty years, only to get things like "Children these days wouldn't be able to read a Penguin Classic. They'd probably find it boring and out dated. Thats what makes me sad" in response.

She's a lovely girl, which is why I'm ranting my socks off at you guys instead of getting cross at her. I'm hoping I won't have to descend to "so how many children do you know? What're the last five kids books you actually read?"...

^That's so frustrating, Weez! I hate generalizations like that.

I've been so swamped with assignments for school, how are you ladies doing? =]

Weez that is frustrating!

I've been good, I haven't been on here in what seams like forever. I had been practicing for my senior recital which occurred Saturday. Then I had family in town.

My birthday has been pretty good, but I've spent almost the whole day rehearsing for the musical and being at NHS inductions... but my best friend and I went out to my favorite Mexican restaurant. We and this old couple were the only people in the restaurant, and we were sitting right near the kitchen door.

Anyway, the waiter was named Antonio, and he popped up literally every two minutes because we were right next to the kitchen. He was young and cute-ish, but not attractive because he gave off a 'really annoying person' kind of vibe somehow. Well, we'd ordered enchiladas, and he came back two minutes later and said, "So... your enchiladas. Do you want tacos?"

I can't really describe how randomly he said this. But I was just staring at him wordlessly, not sure of what to say. Finally, I just said, "... I'm sorry, I'm confused." And he just said, "So... your enchiladas. Do you want tacos?" again.

My friend goes, "... No, we want enchiladas." He goes, "Great, cool, you want tacos?" I said, "You mean... with the enchiladas?"

Antonio: Yep.

Schmerg: Do they come with it?

Antonio: The tacos? No, no, no, no.

Schmerg's friend: Oh, no thank you, then.

Antonio: No, no, no, no, they don't come with it, but if you want tacos, we can give you some for free. Shh!

Schmerg: Um. Uh... no thank you?

Antonio: Oh. No tacos. (Walks away looking crestfallen.)

I seriously think he drugged the tacos or something. It was a little bizarre.

Hahahaha WOW Schmerg I probably would have laughed in his face without meaning to. That's hysterical!

Haha, Schmerg that guy sounds so sketchy!

I just randomly came up with some awesome choreography for "Ease on Down the Road"! I was just listening to The Whole Wiz album and the whole dance just came to me! It makes me happy!

[Pianolin717]

Posted: 4/14/09 at 10:48pm

haha too bad you aren't doing the Wiz this year!

Schmerg, I'm just rolling this around in my head, but perhaps that was Antonio's way of hitting on you? I dunno. It does sound SUPER sketchy and like he may have been a bit of a creeper but perhaps he was trying to tell you something. Something like "Oh hey I think you're cute. I don't really know how to pick up girls so I offer them free tacos (under the table) when they clearly ordered enchiladas and confuse the CRAP out of them. I express myself through awkward pauses and passing glances that may or may not make you and your friend uncomfortable. By the way I tend to hover around like a lost pup but please don't be alarmed...I'm simply admiring your features and the fragrance you're wearing. Yes I sniffed you as you passed by on your way to the table...sorry. I detected a hint of vanilla and pears and smiled to myself. Since my attempt at flirting was obviously a bust I think I'll slink away and sulk in the kitchen until you finish your meal, pay and leave a tip. Then I'll go home and crank "Boys Don't Cry" by The Cure on full blast and follow that up with "Don't Cry Out Loud" by Melissa Manchester. Thank you come again. "

Poor Antonio!! You should have thrown the poor guy a bone...so pitiful. Although on the flip side, if you had accepted the "free" tacos and they smelled like almonds then yes he was definitely trying to poison you with CYANIDE and use your skin as a suit!!! I've seen The Silence of the Lambs too many times!!!!!!!

Tofu..that may have been the funniest thing I've read in a long time!!

[justagirl2]

Posted: 4/15/09 at 1:05am

Schmerg, he was hitting on you. No doubt. Your situation is the exact, PG version of what happened to me this weekend at a restaurant/bar. It ended...um, a little differently, but it started very similarly, with an overly inquisitive waiter. Too bad Antonio didn't know how to play his cards right!

tofu, I love you. That's all I have to say about that post.

Very similar for me too. I was hanging with my girlfriend not my "girlfriend" at the bar and this guy just slid into the booth next to me and started chatting me up. He said he'd already had 4 Rum and Cokes and offered to buy me a drink...I wasn't gonna pass up a FREE drink and accepted it. I knew his little speil wasn't going to get him anywhere with me...but he didn't know that . I touched his knee and he took that as the signal to buy me another (I'm assuming to get me loose for whatever...yeah like that was gonna happen!!) I honestly didn't mean to use my feminine wiles to lead him on but dammit it got me free drinks so what the HELL ever!!!!

Oh my gosh, I laughed so hard I think my brain exploded against my cranium. Tofu, I had to read your (first) post out loud to my sister.

My friend and I started cracking up hysterically the moment Antonio walked away. We kept saying "So... your enchiladas" to precede totally random statements. Like "So... your enchiladas... do you play the lute?" But yeah, "So... your enchiladas" is definitely one of the worst pick-up lines I've heard.

[blondebaby589]

Posted: 4/15/09 at 7:56am

I agree with Tofu and Jag, he was definitely trying to hit on you. But "So...your enchiladas" isn't the best pickup line. If it were me, I would have taken the free food simply because I like free stuff. Especially when it's food.

Speaking of birds, there is this STUPID cardinal that keeps flying into the window outside my mom's breakfast nook. Over. and Over. Dumbest bird evah.

So today we are going to buy a replacement stylus for Henry's DS. He's had it for all of 5 days. And then going to the Leesburg outlets to use my gift card.

How are you all?
