my identity was almost stolen!

what a great weekend! so many things to say, so this post may get a little long...deal with it! :)

yesterday since i had nothing better to do and i love to go support my friends, i went to go cheer rebekah on at her track meet! which at, i might add, she did awesome (congrats on the p.r. rebekah). so earlier matt had sent me a text message and asked if i was going. i told him i was and that if he was going to go he should bring his school ID because you might get a discount on the ticket price.

so, my mom drops me off, i buy my ticket (i was happy i had my student ID: regular price was $9 and with a student ID it was $5) and i was about to walk it when i see matt walking up. being the nice person i am, i waited for him. so we start walking back to the ticket booth thing and i asked him if he had his ID.
"umm...i think i lost it."
"oh, okay then tickets are $9"
he reaches in his pocket and goes "oh, man!" i was like what? he had forgotten his wallet in his other pair of pants and only had $3. i only had $5 left to give him, which only adds to 8 (as i'm sure you all could have figured out). i said "lets just call hannah and ask for a dollar." then he goes "wait can i see your ID."
"umm sure why?"
well, i found out. he takes my ID and goes to get in line. i kept saying it would never work
he goes "ya it will. i'll just cover the picture"
"they are going to check it"
"oh, no. you'll see"
we get up to the window and i stood off to the side so the lady couldn't see me. matt hands her the 5 bucks and she goes "can i see your student ID?"
"sure" he says, covering my picture. the lady takes it out of his hand and looks at it...
"ummm... this is a GIRL!"
now, at this point i'm completely dying of silent laughter until this giant buff mean-looking security dude comes up behind the lady and looks at it (he was standing at an angel so he could see me). he looks at me, bends down and looks at the picture and goes "that's her!" well, he was intimidating and that pretty much silenced my laughter.
then, not helping matters, matt chimes in again "well, that is my school though."
the lady looks at my ID again and replies "valley christian? huh? then what church do you go to son?"
"Emmanuel CRC off of so and so st." (i don't remember what st. he said)
"oh, so do i"
"really? i've never seen you before. well, i have $8. can i just give you that?"
"no, in church we are taught to tithe" (yeah don't know where she was going with that, but just wait it gets even better) :)
matt just goes "well, i'll pay you back on sunday" i clapped a hand to my forehead not believing he just actually said that!
at this point the giant buff security dude gives us this look that clear as glass says "get out of here before i throw you guys out".

we get out of line and i was just about to call hannah up for that dollar, but matt goes "no we can just go down to the end and you can buy another ticket for yourself from the other lady." (what we should have done in the first place). i wasn't keen on the idea, but grudgingly agreed. so matt stood around the corner of the building and i went up to the window. i was about to hand this other lady my student ID and money when the same giant buff security man comes up behind her. he looks at me and goes "hey you!" let me tell you all, he was scary. i froze and then ran the other direction. but, yeah we finally ended up just calling hannah to bring us that extra dollar. hilarious experience though. :) so yep yep that was the big event of my weekend! :)

monday tomorrow and i am such a procrastinator! would you all believe that i still don't know what i'm doing for my informative speech and i'm going tomorrow! yikes! well, better go get on that!
later alligators!
oh, and remember. don't let your friends use your student ID's...especially if they are the opposite sex. :)
