I know I have spent too much time at IHOP with friends. I did the same again last night. A very strange night I might add. I was able to finish my homework, thank god, but that was only a portion of the time spent there in hindsight. With the likes of Earl, Bret, Ashley, Chris, Josh, and why do I feel I am missing others that were there?
Anyhow, the night started like all others do… Ordering coffee, and talking. What else would you expect? The normal conversations, jokes, and strange situations. Last night had something different about it. I feel as if it grabbed the essence of being with friends. Memories. I only wish Erika had been there. Maybe she was right though, she probably would have left before midnight, and that was when all of the fun started.
Maybe it was because we all had a long day behind us. Possibly we were all there to get the weight off of our shoulders. But there are somethings that only a bouncy ball can cure. S.O.S. and tic-tac-toe just didn’t do it. Our creative minds all got together and said, “hey, why don’t we just try to bounce this ball and make it into one of the cups on the table?” This was quickly turned into a carafe, and then all of the glasses and cups available to us. The carafe being worth the most (5 points) and the cups and glasses being worth the least (1 point). And let me tell you, if you have never been involved in an extremely competitive ad hoc bouncy ball game, you should try because only fun times will ensue.
Who won? Well me of course, but you already knew that now didn’t you? In a game of 15 points, I won with 16, you damn straight.
