Note that I meant to click submit last night, but I was tired and I forgot about it. Oh well…

Last night was quite interesting to say the least. I had to go to this dinner group meeting for my graduating class (13 kids... woo) thing, which I wasn't really looking forward to, and it ended up not being all that bad. I generally got along well with pretty much everyone there. I wasn't Mr. Sarcastic boy like I normally am (because sarcasm scares them...), and I met some of the kids I had yet to talk to, which is something I should've done a while back. Then I met some girl who apparently knew me from when I went to another church... 6 years ago. I didn't remember her at all though, which was a tad bit awkward, but it all went okay. So basically, I behaved myself, and thus the night went well. Who would've thought that could happen, eh?

So after dinner, Dustin picked me up at Cheddar's, because we had movie plans. Let me tell you something, I've seen a monkey drive better than this kid. I literally at one point was scared for my life. Not only that, I had just eaten a big Chicken Fried Steak, and that wasn't really setting well with me. So the drive wasn't very fun. After all that, we went to the mall to go see the Ringer, but one of his friends was there and he had a gift card for the new theatre, so we went there and saw Narnia... again. About 30 minutes into the movie, Dustin gets a phone call and leaves to answer it. He walks back in and tells me he's picking some girl up and that he'd be back. Well, 20 minutes later and he hasn't shown back up. So this one girl called me wanting me to come over to her house to watch a movie. So since Dustin wasn't there and it wasn't looking like he was coming back, I just told the other kid (who I was later told that he was stoned... and I didn't even notice) I had to go and then the girl picked me up. And we were off on our way. Turns up Dustin came back up to the theatre to pick me up when the movie was over, but I was long gone by then (I love the fact that I ditched the kid that ditched me). Then the girl that picked me up told me some interesting stories about Dustin. It was all gossip, but hey, at least it was juicy. She acted like he was some pretty bad news, and she alluded to the fact that I should stay away from him, but it didn't really bother me that much. They way I see it, is that when Dustin gives me the  impression that I can't trust him, or that he's into something dangerous (besides the car ride ) that could get me in trouble, then I'll make a decision.

So anyways, she picks me up and we head over to her house to watch a movie. We watched some movie called The Gospel. It was about a music artist (he seemed kind've like a copy of Usher), who comes back to the church when he hears about his father's (the pastor) bad health. He then stays because of love and because he hates the new pastor, and then he comes to know Christ in the end. There was a lot of singing in the movie, which would normally annoy me, but it wasn't really the main thing until the end, so it wasn't bad. After the movie ended, it was late so her brother took me home, so I wouldn't have to wake up my parents to pick me up (darn).

Then the next morning, Dustin called me to see if I needed a ride to church, then he started talking about how he basically never came back to the theatre (except to pick me up, apparently the pothead didn't tell him I was leaving when he called -even though he saw me get into the car- just that I needed to leave). So I didn't really feel bad about leaving. I did lie to him about why I left though, which of course he found out about. So it was pointless for me to lie to him. But he didn’t seem too upset, so either he’s a good liar and he’s pissed off, or it’s not that big of a deal. Either way, I’m not really worried.
