February won't you be my Valentine

116. Feb. 14: I went on a Valentine's "date"

Totally not really that much at all, because it was with Tianna, so it was a friend date, but I have never made plans with somebody specifically because it was Valentine's day. We went after our EPITHET (the non-EPIC tournament) which took forever, and was a really stupid tournament anyway, because the packets were really hard, even my mother who was chaperoning (the bergie berr had "plans") thought it was really difficult. We were beat by Chaska A memorably in one round with us ending up with 20 pts, and them 1245 pts. If you play quizbowl, that should blow your mind. Tianna, Emma, and I only won 2 rounds out of 10, and we just seriously did awful. Pretty much one of the only highpoints of my scoring record was me getting neg 5 for buzzing in and saying "sex?!" on a question that ended up being incest. Hey, I was close. The moderator seemed to get a kick out of it. "Not" South A got second place and Chris got second top scorer, so we at least got some glory out of it. A lot of science, so figures about Chris.

Anyways, so the Valentine's "date." Tianna and I went back to my house to watch Lost, because I saw that it was on Hulu, but I guess I didn't realize that it was just linking to abc.com, which hasn't been working for me. So that's the first thing that went wrong. Then we go to the Mall, but Tianna forgot her ID, so we couldn't even set foot in the mall, and we went to southdale instead, but at that point it's 6:45, and the movie we want to go to is at 7, so I go up to the foodcourt to get some burgerking for us to eat, but burgerking doesn't exist anymore at Southdale, so we went down to Arby's, but we wanted to make sure they didn't make us throw it away, so we got a plastic bag from games by james, and we smuggled our food in, and then had to sit in the very front row, because it was sold out and thats the only place where there were two seats together. Afterwards, I knocked over a woman's nearly beer bottle with my elbow, and apologized to her, but her boyfriend was like "It's okay. We didn't smuggle those in, just like your Arby's didn't happen."

It all worked out in the end I guess, but I would be more organized next year on Valentine's day if I make plans again.
