“I only got the T, H, and O out. "
It was a quiet evening before Jake and Thomas happened upon my door step. I was watching Six Feet Under when it was decided we were going out.
After an interesting turn around at Swaney’s house.. and topping it off at school, it was decided that Sonic would be the snack of choice (in lieu of Denny’s because I wasn’t feeling the grand slam breakfast at that hour).
Anyway, so normally you get the creepy weird white guy working at Sonic around 11. Jake and I know this, because.. well, we’re there a lot. Never really on a Sunday though. Sundays are usually reserved for some Starbucks, major wall action at The Room Store that usually includes a photo session, and maybe if we’re lucky and its not too late- some drive way time over at my house. But today Thomas was driving, so Sonic it was.
We decide to get out of the car and stay awhile and so we go to the common area with the tables where two girls- one who is believed to be Joe Harrington’s ex-girlfriend and another who was just.. unfortunate looking. I guess that’s the only way to describe the girl who sat without shoes debating with her friend how a band should be started.
Unfortunate: “You’re so wrong. You do covers FIRST.”
Joe’s Ex: “No. No! You create your own style first and write your own music before you start covering stuff.”
I decided that neither knew what they were talking about (Nor I suppose did I truly care) as one had no shoes and the other wore a band shirt from “The Used” and some majorly bad emo side swept bangs complete with the Weezer glasses. Both were too trendy for my liking and I doubted either was a true scenester.
Especially not if they were hanging out at a Sonic at 11 on a Sunday night.
They left soon after we arrived though and we pressed that button on the menu so we could order.
“Welcome to Sonic.. I’m Steve and I'll be helping you on this beautiful Sonic Evening. What can I get for you?” the speaker asked us.
I was in love. He was doing his job the way I would do his job. I imagined myself in uniform making wise ass remarks to costumers in the drive thru of a BK who would never see me. I suddenly felt sad that I made so much money doing something where I couldn’t be creative. Dogs just don’t care if you say funny things to them. They just want their Pupperoni.
“Uhhhhhhhh yea.” Thomas began giving our order and when he was done, Steve repeated it back to us with a flair.
“This is Steve signing off for Sonic. You have yourself a fantastic night.”
“I love that boy,” I said, “Let’s buzz him back so I can tell him I love him.”
I pushed the button again and Steve came back on.
“Steve, I love you!” I told the intercom in the menu.
“I love you too!” Steve shouted back, “You want to marry me?”
“Yes, I do!”
“You need a ring!” Shouted Jake.
“GET AN ONION RING!” Shouted Thomas, extremely pleased with his idea.
“OK, I’ll be right out.” Steve said.
“This guy has too much personality to be white,” Thomas stated, “Its got to be the black guy.”
“Way to be racist,” I laughed.. because its true.. C’mon. We were all thinking it.
He came out moments later holding an onion ring.
“Now, don’tchew be cheatin’ on me.” Steve said as he put it on my ring finger.
Once you go black- you never go back.
Oh yea, and I’m pregnant now. I think.
There are pictures. Seacrest out!
Quote of the day:
Its 4:30 AM. I am too tired to think of one. Later. I swear.
