Long John Silvers = best birthday dinner ever y/n
...I always laugh at the mural of "El Jay's Place" on the Long John Silvers walls; I'M SURE YOU KNOW WHY.
Anywayyy yesterday Mom took me out for my birthday, thus the LJS, and it was. an ADVENTURE. First off, before we left, the car wouldn't start! So we had to use my brother's car to jump start it, and then we were off. We went to get a new tire for the car first, because we figured a blow-out and horrible crash on my birthday would suck, and we walked across the street to browse the mall while the tire was being changed. MALL PRETZELS ARE STILL THE BEST PRETZELS EVER. We didn't really do much; I stopped by the Borders in the mall to see if they had the first volume of 07-GHOST (they didn't) and we were looking through the candy store when the tire guy called to say the car was done. Mom told him that he called just in time because we were looking at ~*~CANDY~*~ and he joked that we should get him some, so. We did. |D (IT WAS PRETTY CRAPPY CANDY, THOUGH, and v. overpriced. :<)
Aaaand after that we went in search of somewhere to eat! I was craving seafood so we drove all over town looking for a seafood place that wasn't fast-food, and when we FINALLY found somewhere... well, the seafood place was open from 8 AM to 10 PM! But on Tuesdays it was closed from 3 PM to 4 PM, just for that hour.
....It was 3:15 when we found it.
SOB.
So we decided instead of waiting around for an hour to eat and making Mom late for her 6 PM class, we would just go to Long John Silvers. Which if you're going to go for fried fast-seafood is pretty great anyway. THUS MY AWESOME BIRTHDAY DINNER! After we ate we made a few more stops, at Target and Best Buy, because I wanted to see if I could find Anastasia on DVD or the first season of Avatar, and failed. We would've gone to another bookstore to try and find 07-GHOST again but there wasn't another big bookstore in town. :(b MAN, NO SEAFOOD AND NO BOOKSTORE, Temple sucks. Buuut after a few more terrifying moments where the car once again refused to start, we headed to Mom's statistics class. (Which was an adventure in itself, with Mom not really knowing where the school was and yelling at people that were a little too eager to lay on their horns and us having to figure out which classroom was hers out of the whole giant school--)
BUT WE GOT THERE and I played pinball on Mom's laptop while she was in class, and after picking up cake and ice cream we headed home. /o/ My uncle and a few of my cousins came over to celebrate and chat for a while, and my uncle promised to teach me how to drive sob, AND IT WAS VERY FUN. |Db
