I started thinking Drew didn't like me, because I thought he might like Katie. But he does like me, and now we're going out, so that's good. Dunno what's gonna happen when i go home in a month though, lol. Right now of course it's not too serious, but you never know. I can deal with long distance, even though this wouldn't be so bad if I could get him on a plane down to Florida during winter break or something. But he's never flown before, and he's gonna be 18 next month, just after me. We'll just see. But apparently when I do leave, Sabrina is gonna bake me a nice cake as a going away/birthday thing. That would be so sweet!

So the kids in school (most of them anyway) are on fall break for 2 weeks, so I don't work during the day alone for now. Apparently Matt (that douchebag temporary manager) had scheduled me to work aone during the day all week, but Ruth re-did it and now I'm working with at least one other person. So yesterday there was me, Drew, Sam, and Will scheduled for concessions, Bruce and Brandon scheduled for door, Angie for box, and Sabrina as shift manager. And out of those people, me, Drew, Sam, Will and Sabrina (and Chuck who wasn't working that day) were all supposed to go to this corn maze after work. But then we decided we'd go to this Haunted Forrest thing instead. Apparently one girl at work got so scared from it she pissed her pants so I thoguht it might be good.

Now something you should know about Will and Sam, is they are both very hyper and friendly. And together they are just like overload. But they are sooo sweet it's hard not to like them. And Will drive this really old 60's VW van. It's this pea green colour and can't go over like, 40 mph. So like, whenever he was following Drew's car, we'd always have to drive slow to make sure he was behind us. And we were always on two lane roads, so no one could pass us, and whenever we went around a curve, we could see the line of cars behind Will's van. They must've been so pissed at us for driving that slow, lol.

Anyways, so when we left work, me and Sabrina were gonna ride with Drew to pick up Chuck (who were work with but just wasn't working that day) and Sam was gonna ride with Will and meet us at the Haunted Forrest. So we left before Will and Sam did, and we got Chuck, and he told us how to get the the Haunted Forrest (cause no one else in the car knew) and we ended up missing the sign telling us to turn in, and we saw Will van driving the opposite direction and we were like, "Omg, we must be going the wrong way!" So we turn around real fast and go the right way, but we miss the sign AGAIN and have to trun around a second time and finally get it right.

So we pull in the drive and then the parking area is closed off. So we find some old redneck guys hanging around and we ask them about it and they tell us that it's only open on the weekends. :( Bummer. So now we decide to go to the corn maze, which wasn't haunted, but was still pretty creepy.

So we finally get there around dark, and we pay for our wristbands, and the lady asks us if we're gonna come back on the weekend when it is haunted. Only problem is me and Drew and Sabrina work til like 2 AM on the weekends and the maze would be long closed by then. So she told us that the whole last week in October was gonna be haunted and we could come during the week. And she gave us all these $1 off coupon things which was really nice. So we're gonna go back at the end of the month and get scared shitless. Or at least I'm pretty sure I will be.

So we finally started the maze. And we get these passport thigns, which are simply pieces of paper with 10 multiple questions. Each passport has a theme to it. There's dumb ones like Sports and US History, and fun ones like Halloween and Pop Culture. When you're in the maze and come across a sign (the first one being #1 and so on) you look at the paper, answer the question, and next to each answer it says either left or right. So if you pick the wrong answer you're gonna end up going the wrong way. And something I learned last year was, when it was to turn left, it meant you supposed to keep making lefts at every fork after that until the next sign. Right so soon after we started, we split up in to 2 groups of 3. There me, Drew and Chuck, and then Will, Sam and Sabrina. We each ahd at least 3 or 4 different kinds of passports to get us through, and we were gonna see who could find their way out first. But I was the only one who about the thing we're you're supposed to always make the same turns, so naturally my team won. But while we were still inside the maze, anytime I was leading and Drew was behind me he would run up and grab me and scream and freak me out. It was dark and I was paranoid enough as it was, and he kept doing that to me. I finally gave up and made him lead, until he led us to the same 3 dead ends 5 times each and then I led again. Yeah, so we finished the maze in less than an hour, got out around 8:20, and waited a few minutes to see if the others were behind us. But then the boys foind aplayground and just started riding the slides and stuff. It was the most redneck playground I've ever seen. They ended up iving themselves bruises playing on it. And I got some pictures before my camera died. It was pretty funny. So they played on that for a while, and then got bored. Then there was this guy driving a 4 wheeler with these little car thigns attached to the back and he was would ride them around the fields, and it was pretty rough, so I opted out. When they got off they were even more bruised and were complaining about the dust and stuff in their eyes. I was glad I didn't do it, lol.

So by now it was after 9:00 and the maze was closed so no more people could get in, but we just had to wait for peopel to come out. So we sat at these tables and waited for a while,a nd then they staff guy at the exit was like, "Are you guys waiting on someone?" And we explained how our 3 friends were still in there, and described them to him. And he says, "Yeah, we just saw them cross the tower in the middle. They're gonna be a while yet." That was so dumb. We had to wait for ages for them to get out. Finally half an hour later or so they popped out and all the sudden it was like, "Let's go to Waffle House!" But Chuck had school in the morning and it was already about 10:00, so we dropped him off at home and then all went to the Waffle House, and we all got waffles and hot chocolates. It was yummy. We were the group of kids in the corner booth laughing and annoying people. But we weren't doing it on purpose, it was just that everything was so funny! Will was texting Drew from across the table and sending him messages like, "I want your bod bitch." And "PENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENISPENIS..." It was just hilarious.

Finally around 11:15 we payed and each made our ways home. Sabrina went with Sam and Will, and Drew was giving me a ride back to my house, which was way out of the way, about 20 minutes actually. But it was still aright. I don't think I got home until about midnight, cause it took me a while to figure out where I was supposed to go. I kinda got us lost at first, lol. but I got home safely, as did Drew, so it was ok.

Last night was just realy fun for me, and I've never really done anything like that before. :) Can't wait to go back at the end of the month.

And now Drew's invited me to see this movie called Fireproof, which is some Christian movie about "Fireproofing your marriage." It's been mega popular here since it came out. It's first weekend it was all sold out and what not. I don't believe in a God, so I wasn't really interested. It annoyed me when customers would come in and tell me "I'm going to see Fireproof for the third time. It's a good Christian movie, you should go see it." I wasn't gonna say how I don't follow religion, cause I'm in the bible belt and I don't wanna offend customers (too much) so I would just say something like, "Yeah, lots of people have come to see it." Actually I had a guy last night who was seeing it, and he came out in the middle for a refill, and I asked him about it, and he said it sucked and it wasn't his type of movie. I high fived him. Then I went over and told Drew about how the guy didn't like it, and he goes, "Well he's alone in that matter." I was like, "Whatever." And now he's asking me to see it tomorrow night! I wouldn't if I had to pay, but it is free, and it'll give me a chance to spend some time with him outside of work, so I figured I might as well. Plus, he said if it did suck we could just leave. And he's taking me out to eat beforehand so that's good, too. :)

See, thing is about Drew, he's pretty straight laced apparently. I mean, I figured he was a virgin and all that, but I don't think he even likes to do dirty text messages! :( I have to see if I can get him to loosen up a little bit. He is sooo sweet and adorable, he just needs to discover all the fun he could be having. ;)

We'll just see what happens.
