we checked out the hotel then ate at waffle house. afterwards, we met up with e at frankies. i haven’t been to frankies since 2016 for my birthday. before that it was 2011. we played mini golf, a zombie game, the basketball shootout, and of course i got stuck at the claw machine. i lost to e in minigolf by 1. zombies, i was trying not to throw up because it was one of those 3d games where they shake your seat. the basketball shootout went my way, which was good. i got finessed by the claw machine a few times, but i ended up winning a dog and a squirtle, so it wasn’t a loss by any means. we went to red robin then coldstone creamery to end the afternoon. it’s been a minute since i’ve been to coldstone, but the mint ice cream came without chocolate chips, which was different, but ended up being perfect. i never realized how much i didn’t like the chocolate in the mint ice cream. it’s literally like when i found out i never really liked pepperoni on pizza until i got the brooklyn style cheeze pizza from domino’s. not only do i learn something new everyday, but sometimes i learn something new about myself, too.
i miss living in 919, but this is something i’ve been known.
