here's your change
the one where freud left a banana peel lying around.
So,
Amanda and I went to dinner tonight at Stuft Pizza, a good sports bar kind of place. Not that either of us are interested at all in sports, but they make a mighty tasty pizza.
Seeing as I'm on a diet now--having lost 7 pounds during my stressful week last week, I figure I might as well continue the trend and make it official--I voted that we have dessert at Cold Stone, where we could get some yummy ice cream (preferably "Leprachaun Diaper Surprise," my favorite!).
Woah there cowboy, you might be saying, in which case I'd suggest getting your ass outta Texas as soon as possible. I thought you said you were on a diet?
That's right, dear friends, I'm on a diet--the only one I could possibly stand. The Atkins diet. The Zone diet. Whatever you want to call it. No carbohydrates for two meals, but anything you want for one hour. Sounds crazy, and it doesn't work for everybody (Amanda, sadly, tried it and lost nothing), but I lost 15 pounds on it a year ago, and now I'm back.
So I wanted to top my hour off with a bowl of "Leprachaun Diaper Surprise," and we headed down the strip mall and watched as the cute alternateen girl folded the Oreos and mint flavoring into the creamy chocolate ice cream.
Amanda offered to pay for it, and I grudgingly accepted. I stood next to her while she handed the alternateen the money.
She got the change out of the register and counted it out to Amanda...
"Here's ten, fifteen, sixteen dollars and fifty-four sex." She paused for a second. "I mean CENTS! Oh God, how embarrassing!"
Yeah. She wants me. But then again, who doesn't? Oh yeah, everybody else.
Of course, mebbe she was a lesbian and was getting all hot and bothered by Amanda. I mean hey, if I was a chick, I'd dig Amanda too, but then again, I'm biased. :)
And thanks, my goddess... you're a true friend. Maddeningly teasing (to such an extent you can't possibly imagine), but you fill my heart with more joy than nearly anyone else possibly could. If only you weren't so damned cute and sweet. Sigh.
