"I'll do anything for $2 dollars!"

Today after work, I got packed up and headed to Athens to stay with one of my BFF's Jessica Wood.
Tomorrow, EC Singers are going to be singing up here, and being former Singers, we decided we are going! :)
Well, today I decided i needed some new jewlery, so before dinner, we decided to stroll around the mall for a couple of hours! We were going down the escelator and before we could get on, there were two guys standing at the top with these clipboards. They asked us if "we ladies would like to take a movie survey, it only takes 5 minutes.." we didnt really say anything so he adds, "you make two dollars! that will buy you a movie at the dollar theater, c'mon..you got to have five mintues! "
So Jess jumps off the escalator and goes "i'll do anything for $2 dollars."  NO! Jess, you won't do ANYTHING for $2 dollars,... "okay, good choice ladies, if you'll just follow me down the escalator, i'll get you all set up" 
I'm guessing the walk down the escalator Jess decideds that "this wasn't her best decision of the night." So i'm thinking the worst is yet to come... so rape, guns, and getting beat up isn't really the last thing on my mind...actually, it's probably the first!
So this guy brings us into this little room, in the very back corner of the mall, and tells us to take a seat in the waiting room, and someone would be with us soon.
We waited a few minutes and Jess goes back to this little cubicle first, then a couple of minutes later, this lady came and got me.
The survey started with me giving away my first born child, and giving them my phone number, and zip code. (i'll be sure to have that number cut off ASAP, and not answer calls until then...if any cars are following me around town, i'm calling the cops!)
This lady started asking me pointless questions about how many movies i've seen in the past 12 months, how many hours a week i watch tv, stay on the internet, because i definiately keep a log of each one of those on a weekly baises. She typed like she was going to break one of her freshly, two week old manicured nails. e ....v....e....r....y...... w.....o.....r.....d..... t.....o....o...k... l...i.....k...e... 3......0...... m....i....n...u....t....e.....s... .
so his "5 minutes of my time" senario was totally out the door.  she answered most of the questions like she's knew me, and knew what i was going to say for each question.  Then she made me watch some preview for some stupid movie, i wouldn't want to see even if someone else was paying for it, that was like 30 seconds and then wanted me to answer all her questions about it.  After answering questions for about five minutes, waiting thirty mintues for her to type the answer, and then about ten minutes for her to answer her cell phone and then explain to her mother why she couldn't talk, the "five minute survery" was finally over, and i collect my $2 dollars!!
All in all, I guess it wasn't too dreadful, i'm still alive, didn't get raped for $2, or beat up, and Jess found her a new Saturday and Sunday job...who can beat $4 a week!! man, gotta love that gas  money to get to and from the mall!!!
BTW--if you're ever in Athens, you should  try Jason's Deli. They have a great salad bar, some dang good vanilla ice cream, and to top it off--diet dr pepper!!! :)
and, the Blindside is an AMAZING movie!!! :) if you haven't seen it, go see it! Hilarious an jerks at your heart a few times too!

can't wait for Singers service in the morning...since its after 2am, i guess i'll bring the blog to a close.
night.
