lunch with ptim

I just had lunch w/ Pastor Tim at Fudruckers. I've always wanted to try an ostrich burger, so I took this opportunity to try one. We ordered a thing of chili cheese fries too.

PTim tried getting soda, but all the different drinks he tried just weren't to his satisfaction. I made a mix of lemonade and sprite with a wedge of lime.

We talked briefly about stuff that was going on, about the small groups and such. Eventually, we got to the reason why we were having lunch. There seems to be some conflicts from people about me. Most of which, were completely untrue.

During Christmas service, Undignified was getting ready to perform. To show my support, I screamed at them and hollored and what not. Normal stuff that you would expect if you were excited. And after they were done, I cheered them on and such. It turns out, that people don't like my screaming. They didn't think it was appropriate. I can see to an extent how they feel, but I want to show my sister team my support. They also thought I cursed during my screaming, which, I absolutely did not do. I know I'm loud, but I know when I swear too.

Another complaint was that I was making out with M outside the sanctuary. First of all, we barely hold hands, let alone hug in public. Why in the world would anyone think that I was making out. I mean... making out! Sucking face, tongue fencing, etc. Completely unfounded.

There was also a comment on the way we dress. About our baggy pants and sometimes dirty or ratty clothes. Hello? Poor college students? Gimme a break.

So, I'll try to be more accomodating in the future with my outbursts. They just come so naturally.
