The weekend update

So this weekend I went HOME! I know it makes no sense at all because we’re going home next weekend for thanksgiving. My high school theater department put on Jesus Christ Super Star and theater was practically my entire life for seven years in Ohio. So I came back for it! I also brought three of my friends from here. Austin the new boy toy (in case any of you creep on my relationship status), his best friend and my friend Erik, and my roommate Clara! Why they decided that they wanted to come along for the five and a half hour drive to Columbus Ohio, I don’t know, but they did and it was awesome.

We went to the play on Friday night, and it was okay, I feel like they’re always a lot better. That could just be though because I’m always in them and if you’re in it you probably think all of your hard work makes something brilliant. Then that night we went to OSU campus because, I live twenty minutes away from there. A lot of my friends go to OSU so that was fun and we went to one of my friends houses for a party. The people there are a lot different though, it was weird. I think it’s mostly just because of this kid’s personality, so all of friends were just awkwardly into themselves. What was really weird though was that I saw someone I went to school with in eighth grade and he recognized me. Him and I both had a little middle school crush on each other, then he left my school, and now he goes to OSU.

On Saturday I went to go visit my Grandma and everyone else slept all day, literally. We went to chipotle for lunch at 2:00Pm so I woke them up at 1:30 and then on the way home they fell asleep in my car, and then all crashed in their beds until 6:00PM. It was ridiculous but, then we went out to dinner at the restaurant I work at so it was fun to see everyone I work with. We had pancake breakfast with my parents on this morning and then left around 1:30. Now we just got back at 7:00.
So it was kind of awkward because so last week my relationship status changed on facebook right? (I’m sure you all are going to love reading about this but I don’t know what else to talk about and this is kind of a funny story) So Austin wanted to change our status within like 24 hours of us deciding we were going to date, which I thought was a little fast, but, whateverrr. He and Erik had already decided they wanted to come to Ohio with Clara and I probably four weeks ago before we had even thought about dating and so it wasn’t planned to be a meet-the-parents-trip. So I just wasn’t going to tell my parents because I didn’t want them to freak out. Especially since Austin is the first guy I have ever dated that they haven’t known his parents and him for at least five years, by my senior year twelve, so I thought they would panic. Plus the fact that he lives two floors below me in the same floor I also thought would freak them out, soooo I didn’t tell them.

And then, okay, I didn’t want to change my facebook status because I’m friends with a lot of family members and I thought that somehow it would get to them. Then I went against my better judgment and did it anyway because I decided that someone wouldn’t make the point to call my parents to tell them. Then my Grandpa happened to get sick last week and my Aunt and Uncle decided to come to Ohio to visit him. And thennnn my aunt started texting me asking me “which one Austin was in his profile picture”, she is the biggest facebook freak ever. And then I was like, “ohhh he’s this one, blah blah blah, please don’t tell my parents by the way.” And then I got the “ummmmmmm” text message, followed by the “please don’t hate me” text message. Before I could read these two text messages my phone was ringing and it was her and my mom. They were both really excited and giddy, and probably a little bit drunk, which was funny.

I went on a lunch date though with this other guy like three weeks earlier and my Mom was like “aww I’m so glad that lunch guy worked out.” And then it was like errrrr sorry Mom it’s someone else. That made me feel good about myself, haha. And then yeah, so the family was really excited to meet the new man. I also lied to my Grandma over the school year and told her I had a boyfriend and that it was this one kid that I worked with. This was because she always asks me if there’s anyone I think I could get married to and she’s also under the impression that if a girl doesn’t have a boyfriend there’s something wrong with her—this is all because she’s really old. So yeah to get her off my back I told her I had a boyfriend and then she found out that I brought my boyfriend home, and she thought I had brought home the kid I worked with, I guess because she thought that he went to Virginia Tech too. When I told her that it was someone else, she was like “Margaret! My lord! How many boys do you have?!” Once again, that made me feel good about myself haha.

Yeahh anyway the only thing is Austin slept literally the entire weekend and was only awake after 11:00PM, which is when my parents were asleep. So there impression of them is probably not fantastic, especially since my parents are morally against napping, but I think they might have understood more than I thought they would. Good story. Sorry this post is girly and I say like maybe 50 times. Hope your weekend was grand! <3
