Adventure of a freaking lifetime.

I'm going to be the first to tell this story.

So this afternoon, I was supposed to see a Slumdog Millionaire with Mike and Jonah.

I get to the theatre and go to buy my ticket, but they wouldn't let me because it was rated R. I call Jonah, and he was just going to buy the tickets for both of us so we could get in. But they wouldn't let him? Now we're screwed.

(At this point, Mike wasn't at the theatre yet, even though he was supposed to meet us 15 minutes earlier.)

The decision was made. We were going to the mall, and Mike and Andrea were going to meet us there.

After Jonah parked WAY farther away than needed, we get to the mall, start wondering around, and kinda forget about meeting Mike. (Side note: Mike doesn't have a cell phone) Mike eventually finds us, and we decide to go somewhere because the mall is boring.

Then after changing locations 4 times and confusing the crap out of Andrea, we plan to meet at Starbucks. (Side note: Andrea is already at Starbucks. Mike would rather kill himself than drive because he's afraid of crashing his car. I'm riding with Jonah. Mike is driving by himself. Again, Mike doesn't have a cell phone.)

Jonah and I arrive at Starbucks and meet Andrea (who had been having a staring contest with some Asian guy in the parking lot). We're at Starbucks for like, a half an hour. Mike never shows up :P We start getting worried.. and decide to go looking for Mike. Let the adventure begin.

We're scared. We don't know if Mike is alive or not (okay, overdramatic). Jonah is freaking out because the last thing he said to Mike was "Mike, you're an idiot. Get out of the freaking car."

We kinda scared ourselves more after we thought about the fact that he could have gotten in an accident. So the 3 of us hop into Jonah's car and drive to the mall (who knows why, not sure why Mike would have been there. I suggested the possibility of him randomly going back to the mall to buy shoes :P).

We get to the mall. And there just so HAPPENS to be a bunch of emergency vehicles with their flashing lights and sirens :P Pretty sure our hearts stopped in unison. We parked the car. Jonah and I got out, expecting Mike's car to be one of the 3 cars pulled over on the side of the road :P (False alarm, thank God.)

Now what. He's fallen off the face of the earth for over an hour! We didn't wanna just leave, but we just came to the conclusion that he probably had a Mike moment and ended up at Lifetime or a different Starbucks or something :P We made one last stop to see if he was at Inta Juice. In the Inta Juice parking lot, Jonah receives a call from Mike saying he had gotten lost and... who knows. After driving around the Burnsville area for over an hour, the 3 of us vow to kill Mike and live happily ever after.

The End.

(P.S.- There's a song that I am going to rewrite and dedicate to Mike. I will post it soon.)

That was indeed an adventure of a lifetime.

FYI- I did not freak out, I remained fairly calm =P I like to think I was somewhat of a voice of calm in the stormy waters of the sea.

(My assurance to Mrs. Hands that he'd show up, my stoic and heroic poise under pressure? You know it. I was the rock, the foundation, the anchor.)

... And now you have a great story to tell, though you probably didn't appreciate it at the time. :P
