'no really, i'll be ok' & 'scavenger hunt'

So I talked to him and a strange conversation occured. I told him it wouldn't work and he said that I really didn't give him a good chance. I had thought about that before but I realized that I really couldn't get over his mannerisms. It was the right thing to do.

I asked him if he was alright as he looked really sad/disappointed. He said he'd be okay but he thought that I would take it harder. A bit surprised at what he said, I said, "no offense, but I don't think this will affect me that much." He didn't get the hint and he says, "judging from your character I think this will hit you harder."

All I have to say is he obviously didn't read me right. That was just weird.

On a happier note I went to participate in Jen's church fun event: scavenger hunt! We went to Kingsway Mall to find our treasures and their respective prices.

Jen's church was really prepared haha... It was really cool though, making us guess the store names, then the object, then the price/barcode if price was not to be found. I was teamed up with Bong and Yvonne.

We ran frantically to stores making up fake stories as to not attract attention. Unfortunately, some of the sales people figured out what we were doing and simply gave us the answers. I guess it wasn't that hard to figure out as people were overhead asking salespeople for help:

Boy: "Do you guys have anything called Mary Janes?"
Sales lady: "uhhh.. shoes."
Boy: "Yea! Those are what we're looking for... Uh.. can we see them? And how much are they?" *proceeds to run out the store w/ paper in his hands"

Fun times. Interesting incidents my team had to go through:

The Dollar Plus Store: Crazy mopping guy grabbed Yvonne's sheet out of her hands to our shock. Yvonne calmly took the sheet back and asked, ".. Can I help you?"

EB Games: "Can I help you?" "Uh... just looking.. uh.. JEN'S A BIG GAMER." Yvonne and I proceed to look around as Jen has the sales guy occupied. No luck. Finally, Jen asks the sales guy how much random systems are until we get what we were looking for. Good job Jen!

Jacob: "Okay we're looking for a puffy jacket that makes you look like a burnt marshmallow." All three of us are like "THERE!!" and we look around to see all of us pointing at different jackets that all could be what the clue is talking about. Eventually we decided on one... unfortunately.. it was the wrong one.

You Name It: Strange sales lady who I thought was really mad at us when we dropped her bibs.. but she was kidding around. And then she was like "you guys need bibs???!?!" I just wanted to get out of there...

Brians: "Look for a hideous brown furry thing that used to be a poor defenseless animal.." Well that wasn't the exact clue but that definitely would have pointed us in the right direction. SOOO easy to spot. Didn't even have to spend two seconds looking for it. Definitely one of the worst looking items on our list.

Leather Ranch: Item: leather jacket with a furry checkerboard pattern... puke. I didn't get to see it unfortunately as a salesperson trapped me in the men's section telling me intimate details of his life and would not let me leave until I got the style numbers for some male jackets. After Yvonne and Bong got the necessary details for the furry jacket, Bong came up to me and salesguy to tell me that her dad was waiting for us and we had to go. Salesguy says, WAIT one second I give you style numbers. So I'm like ahhh.. so he gets me a brochure and starts to write prices and style numbers down and then Yvonne comes back w/ Bong and says "our brother is waiting for us..." and Bong realizes the possible problem simply adds on "and out dad... dad and brother are both waiting".. finally guy lets me go but not before writing his name down on the brochure. Tom. Tom... I hope I don't go back to the Leather Ranch again. haha

But yes fun to be had by all. Unforunately one of the places on the list kicked one team out b/c they said and declared "we don't do scavenger hunts." Even though on the clue sheet to look at the entrance... still.. :(

After that we went to Bong's church and compared answers and ate ice cream. Yvonne, Bong and I tied with 35 points with another group. The other two groups were also very close with 34 and 31 points.

After ice cream my dad was coming to get me at the church but they had to lock the church up so Jen and Krystle hung w/ me at Tim Hortons for a short time before my dad came.
