Friends with benefits.

Last week on Wednesday we had the pleasure of going on a double date. Remember our last double date? Well, this one probably wasn't as entertaining, but it is still worth blogging about. Jacqui went with MM and Lindsay went with LJK. This is all Jacqui's fault because she agreed to go on the date with MM first (because Jacqui is such a nice person and was just trying to give MM a chance, thank you very much), and since MM and LJK are roommates, that gave LJK the idea to ask Lindsay out (this is not the first attempt that LJK has tried to ask Lindsay out). Now, we both have known for awhile that LJK has liked Lindsay, he asked her out at the beginning of the month, but she was unable to go (but really she could have gone but chose not to). He is a really nice guy but Lindsay just isn't really into him. But he is really nice (and if they ever got married they would have the same initials, match made in heaven ha ha jk (Lindsay doesn't approve of this comment)). MM is funny and nice too, but Jacqui doesn't like him anymore than a friend.

For our date we went to a benefit concert on campus (benefits for the boys but not so much for us, sadly). We were wishing that we were there without boys so that we could meet other boys... maybe become groupies of the bands, but oh well, at least we got in for free. When we got there we entered a raffle and then went inside. We insisted that we sit on the very front row, and MM was a little unsure about this but he seems a little unsure of alot of things.  But of course he went along anyways, because did he really have a choice? NO. There weren't very many people there yet, but at least we were front and center.

Before the concert started they did a raffle. We were all hoping to win, because winning is fun! They were giving away 7-14 day memberships to the Sports Academy (a gym here). And surprise, Lindsay won! This was really exciting because she never wins anything (probably not the most exciting thing that you can win but hey, it's free).  "I'll probably just throw it away". -Lindsay

After the raffle the first band started playing. They were barefoot, and only rockstars play barefoot. They were called Welcome to the Woods, and they were pretty good.

People started showing up for the second band... They were definitely the most popular! They were called The Old World, and they were all of our favorites! We definitely recommend their cd (thank you JP for burning Jacqui a copy of it). The lead singer of the band actually was talking to us during his set. He thought we were funny because we giggle so much. We thought it was cool that he talked to us out of everyone there.

After the second band they did another raffle. And guess what? LJK won the biggest prize of the whole thing, Jazz tickets! But he decided to sell them, hopefully that worked out for him. It was still exciting that 2/4 of us won the raffle.

The third band was seriously crazy. They were called American Attic. They loved to swear. They said they were rock n roll. But we aren't really sure if they were or not because they were so loud we couldn't hear them. We were all pretty much deaf from their set list. It was funny because you could tell that the singer was singing really hard because his face was red and veins popping out but we only saw his lips moving and nothing coming out.  But thats fine because they were really fun to dance to, and the lead singer loved us! He kept talking to us during their set and it was fun. He even gave us a drum stick and a guitar pick. So basically if we would have been there without dates we could have been groupies. During this band there was a huge blow up oscar meyer weiner hot dog thing that the crowd was throwing around! It was fun! For the last song we all stood up (because we were about to leave) and started dancing. We must say that LJK gets pretty crazy. He is a dancing fool. He really showed us all up!

We chatted with the lead singer of The Old World after the show was over, got a free cookie, and then headed home. None of us could hear very good, and we kept tricking LJK saying that he was hearing things haha.

We didn't really say much about our dates in this whole post... basically we didn't talk a whole lot because we were listening to music. But in between bands we both agreed that it was awkward talking. It is too bad that neither of us liked these boys. The most awkward thing though was probably when they would whisper in our ears during the bands playing.

Getting home from the date is always the most awkward part. We both agree that you shouldn't hug, just shake hands or high five even. Its no fun hugging boys that you have no interest in. It's even worse when you know these boys like you. So they walked us up to our door, and of course we both had to hug our boy. Then we got to have a group hug. Extra hugs... Another benefit for the boys.. None for us..

Its always fun when we get to go on double dates together! We did have a lot of fun, the concert was great! The boys were really nice and pretty fun to be around too.

Oh, and tonight is the final episode of Teen Mom 2... our apartment is not going to know what to do on this night now that this show has ended, how sad is that? "So sad" -Jacqui
