where was i? oh yes dinner.

we got to man 'n johns with plenty of time and were really only like maybe 20 minutes late. which wasn't too bad considering we both showered and changed and all that jazz.

which i will make mention that sara looked especially good. i think because well, she's good looking to begin with + dress = hott. so i was excited to go out to eat because i do like getting dressed up from time to time, and who better to go out to eat with than your hot girlfriend?

either way we got to man 'n johns and i suddenly felt over-dressed cause john was just wearing a button down shirt and i had a shirt 'n tie on. man looked a little under-dressed in comparison with sara so at some point i even asked or told sara that i felt out of place cause i thought i was too dressed up. she of course told me i was being silly and that i was fine.

we then all piled into sara's car and headed off towards la fondue:a fondue restaurant, as if the title didn't tell you it was a fondue restaurant.

sara had told me a little about this place before, that it was pretty ritzy and all sorts ofother things. i had also been skeptical about it, because i've never had fondue before in my life, nor do i even really know what fondue entails.

well i'll tell you what it entails, way too much effing work to eat. because for everything you want to eat you have to put it into a little pot of hot oil [i'm pretty sure ours was oil] and then wait for it to cook, then you get to eat it. of course if you forget about it, you end up eating something that's about as tasty as wood. also when there's 4 people and only 1 pot things tend to get mixed up and you forget who's little stick is who's.

oh, and i just realized i probably confused some of you so here's what fondue is. it's a 4 cours [well in the case of ours it was at least] meal. for the first part you get a hot bowl of cheese, some bread and apple slices [you get to choose the type of cheese mixture you want so it varies] then you dip said bread 'n apples in the cheese and chow down; that's your appetizer, and the bread wasn't a bad appetizer, the apples were better plain, but that's just my opinion. following that you get some salad [mine was mushrooms and some other stuff and wasn't too terrible] and then you get the main portion. where you're presented with a big tray that contains, sirloin, chicken, filet, lobster tail, and shrimp. you're told the appropiximate time to cook each thing so you don't get salmonela poisioning and they're at 40-50 seconds for the steak, 2-3 minutes for the chicken and fish things. you're also given some sauces to dip the chunks in if you want. after the dinner's over with you're given a choice of chocolates [white, dark, regular] to dip pieces of strawberries, cheese cake, sniggers piecs, and a few other things that escape me.

also, any waitress that can't say snickers and instead says sniggers should be dragged out back and beaten with a noodle. seriously how effing hard is it to say snickers!?

so as you can see you have to do a lot of work just to eat anything, otherwise you'll get yelled at for not doing things the fondue-way, like i was when i started to eat the apples plain.

but the food really wasn't bad, it was just a ton of effort to make it, and dinner took forever to eat since everytime you wanted to eat something you had to wait another 3 minutes or so.

also at some point i went to go to the bathroom, came back and was eating or what have you and i went to take a drink of my water cause i was a bit thirsty and instantly almost gagged. someone, namely sara and john, had put fucking salt in my water. of course i'm fucking pissed, cause really you're out having a good time and it's a nice place, you don't do that kind of shit. i could've understood if we had been pranking each other all day long, but to do that randomly out of the blue, put me in a foul mood for the rest of the night; though it did end up happening late in the meal. i guess i had a big problem with it mostly because it was to me like a big disrespectful thing to do, since we weren't doing it before hand and was totally random, it's kind of like someone randomly punching you in the stomach and then going "oh hey! we're playfighting didn't you know?" but basically after that i just wanted to go home because i was just feeling exhausted and didn't want to do anything else.

however that wasn't to be as after we finished eating we went back to man 'n johns house and ended playing the trival pursuit we bought john for his birthday. i figured i'd be good at it, or at least decent, well i'm a moron. i mean sure i had a few of my pies, but man were the questions hard. and damnit i didn't get any of my comics book questions that i so wanted cause i'd know those! i can't remember exactly how long we played but eventually sara's allergies started to act up cause of the dog and around 12 or 1 we decided to head on home.

and thankfully wendy had taken sara's request to not spend the night at their place, because really who the hell stays around their apartment when they could easily go to their boyfriends house; knowing full well it's your roomate and her boyfriends last night together.
