"My Unprepared First Date"
I heard a knock at the front door, and a voice spoke, " is Tiffiany home", it was my date. I never knew it but my life to a turn for the worst. After my first date, I vowed to never date again. It became difficult to pull everything together and make it go right, but I guess it was because I waited to the last minute. Getting ready for this date was the longest, most drawn out, hectic hour and a half of my life. The preparation for this date was like getting ready for a photo shoot, actually worse, at least I got paid for the photo shoot. It was so crazy that I found myself loosing things that were right in front of my face. Between finding the right hairstyle, making my date wait and messing up the entire night, my first date made a second one far from my mind. I found that the hardest part of the night was finding a hairstyle that was suitable for the activities we had set forth.

He tried to make me feel better by reordering and giving his new order to me, I guess he kind of figured that I didn't like the food I had ordered. Time went by so fast that we almost missed our movie again, so we got the rest of the food to go, so that we could catch the movie on time. At the movies not only did I sniffle, sneeze and cough all through the movie I even fell asleep. When he moved his arm it startled me, and I hit the armrest and knocked over his cell phone in the popcorn. He heard his phone ringing and started looking for it. He just laughed extremely hard when he found the phone in the popcorn. On top of the bad hair situation, when my date arrived, I had him wait on me for thirty minutes. He had to wait because I had overslept. He said that he would be there at 7:30p.m. so I was going to wake up at 6:00p.m., to give myself time to get dressed without a hassle, instead I got up a
