I'm thinking Arby's

Yeah, i've been thinking that statement a lot lately. especially whenever i go from lunch to my forth period class.

i would like to give you all some stats on my lunch table. there are ten people at the lunch table. 8 are seniors, and 2 are juniors. 8 are girls and 2 are guys. that makes things a little...interesting.

the two guys that sit at my lunch table both work at the same place, which happens to be Arby's. there was already an Arby's in the area. in fact, my family goes there after church whenever we have coupons. otherwise, for a family of five(with a 14-year-old cross country runner) to go to Arby's is pretty pricey. anyways, the Arby's we had is sort of out of the way for some people in the area, but not for the people who live in town. so anyways this other Arby's just opened up, which means more jobs are available for us poor teenagers so we can start saving for college. :-) so the one guy at my lunch table got a job there, and then a few weeks after that the other guy got a job there. so for the past two weeks all we've heard about is Arby's, Arby's, and...oh yeah: Arby's.

most times i end up sitting near, or between these two, so i hear everything. some of it's interesting. i've learned that they will be very mad at me if i go through the drive-thru and use coupons, and that those new cheesecake poppers taste much better than they appear in the picture posted on the ad we received in the mail. i also learned that i shouldn't try to eat a cheesecake popper right after it comes out of the fryer because it will be piping hot.(thanks for trying it out for me:-])

but i have a feeling the rest of the girls at the table are a bit fed up with the fact that they talk about Arby's all the time. today at the end of lunch they were trying to get their point across, except the guys were in the middle of another conversation about Arby's. now, if this had been my siblings, i probably would've put my hands on their heads and made them face Steph. but i couldn't do that because sibling authority doesn't come into account when there are no siblings to authoritize. so maybe Steph will try to talk to them tomorrow. or maybe i can come up with an effective way to get them to stop. or maybe i just need to brainstorm a list of ways to change the subject. or maybe the girls at the table need to have a mini-conference sometime outside of the lunch table to figure out a way to communicate.

well, now that i'm thinking Arby's, i'm thinking maybe i need to grab a snack before i go to work.
