BAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!

So UPDATE!

I, Becky, am sitting in the living room of an incredibly studly guy!!!! Of course you all know him though because if you have read the blog you know who I am talking about! Anyways he invited me to his parent's house to *gasp* meet them! Nikki is here with me since she after all is one of his best friends and she basically told me that if I was getting to go to Chi town that she was going with me. Don't you just love how she invited herself, but it ended up being the best thing?! I am excited because school is starting soon and I was beginning to wonder if anything was going to happen before school began. Chicago is nice...and a whole lot bigger than I thought it would be. The ridiculousness of it all though is that I have been sick this entire time! Yeah Lucky me got Strep Throat when I was in Orem visiting Jess before we flew out to Chicago. Really now people does anyone know how to cough anymore?! I mean you need to actually cover your mouth with something and if you cough into your hands go wash them right away you nasty! You want to know what is even nastier? The medicine they give you to take. It smells like burnt rubber and tastes like death. Yes I am positive that when I die the taste of death will be the same as that disgusting little pill I am forced to take four times a day. *bleh*

I wanted to get on here mainly to talk about a trend I have noticed amongst us Young Single Adults...no one dates anymore. Okay so maybe people do date, but not everyone. What I am talking about though is dating dating...old school rules. Nowadays people get away with texting or facebooking a date request. Really now? You can't call a person up or go ask them in person? You have to use two of the most impersonal ways to ask someone on a date? Also a new disturbing trend I have noticed is that when on said date there is no real "plan". No the guys (or girls) will ask their date WHILE ON THE DATE what they want to do. NO NO NO see when you ask someone out you need to already have it all planned out BEFORE you ask them. That way you can tell them what you are doing if they happen to ask.
Here is an example of a horrid date that just occurred.

Nikki was asked out via facebook by one of Chris' friends (Donali..the guy I am dating...) and of course Chris and I were going to tag along just because it was going to be awkward for Nikki. Anyways Chris told his friend to let him know what the plan was and everything so he could tell us what to prepare for. His friend said it was no problem that he would handle everything. Well he picked us up (this was last night) and immediately asked where we wanted to eat. Now I am fine normally with choosing whatever, but Nikki hates being put on the spot and she hates making those decisions (something about it not being remotely important to her to give any thought to) and Chris was mortified immediately. We finally ended up at Panda Express and dinner went well enough where this friend was forgiven. We all figured he just wanted to make sure we ate somewhere where we actually wanted to eat. Well imagine our surprise when he looks over at Nikki and asks her what she wanted to do. The look on her face (although priceless) sealed the this poor guy's fate. We ended up going home after Panda because Nikki refused to say anything to him and Chris was really embarassed by being in public with his friend.

I sat back and enjoyed that whole scene, and I realize that Nikki probably comes across as snobby and a witch with a capitol "B", but you kind of have to understand that to some girls, expecting them to choose everything on the date that YOU asked them out on is a sign of disrespect. Nikki wouldn't have cared what we did as long as she didn't have to worry about choosing what to do. We have always made it a point to plan everything out before asking a guy on a date and it isn't that hard to expect the same.

Oh and BTW Chris is totally making up for yesterday. He set Nikki up on a blind date and we are doubling again. We are going to this one place to learn how to make our own pizza's and then after we are going and watching "How To Train Your Dragon"!!!!!!! That is how you plan a date people!

Laters my gators,
Becky
