American Life
Relax~
Since we always have to have a quick supper because of our work, my roommate decided to eat in the Italian restaurant in our school for dinner today. We also invited another two friends. The waiters, waitress and cooks there are students, it's part of their courses. And tonight it's the first time for them to serve in the Italian restaurant. We entered the restaurant at about 7pm. Our waiter servered two tables which were both with 4 customers. He was kind of messed up. Another girl only served one table with only two guests. We didn't have our salad until 7:30. When we were eating our salad, the cooks was making our pizzas. And suddenly, we heard the fire alarm. The whole kitchen was full of smoke. The supervisor who's also the teacher said "Don't worry, don't worry, there's no fire." But the fire alarm lasted for about a minute. Our table was next to a big window, and after 10 minutes, we saw the fire engine came, and two firemen came into the restaurant. I think the teacher explained something to them.
After that, the waiter who served us brought 3 pizzas to us. My roommate, Cindy didn't have her pizza. Then the teacher came and said to her, "Well, sorry, we had some problem with your pizza, just wait for a second, it will be right here." We thought that it's her pizza that caused the fire alarm rang. And when I was eating my pizza I said "Hey~ I have a lot of cheese powder under the base! I"m so lucky" The other three, who had also worked in the Italian kitchen before told me "we didn't put that under the pizza."
" I think it's..... flour! It's not well cooked!" Cindy said
But we didn't think it's a good idea to complian about that since it's their first time working in the restaurant. So we just ignored that and I kept eating my.... full of flour pizza.
After 5 minutes, there came Cindy's pizza. Well... looked not very niced, it's lack of some part and smaller than ours. Looked like someone had eaten it before it's served to Cindy.
After the pizza, we're expecting our desserts. The other three girl ordered Tiramisu. I oredered a ... strawberry something. ( I didn't noitced what the waiter said but when I heard the word "strawberry", I just said " I want that") Ivy, one of the other two friends heard that I orded that, she changed her mind also.
My strawberry something truned out really good. The waiter gave Ivy's strawberry something to Evonne(another girl) by mistake. And after Evonne tried that, she didn't want give it back to Ivy. Then they just made a deal that they shared the strawberry something and Cindy ate 2 Tiramisu. Maybe next time I'll go to the restaurant just for the dessert.
Before we entered the restaurant, the guy who looks like Brad Pitt passed by us, I didn't notice that, and my friends just said "It's him! It's him!"
"It's who?" I said.
"Brad Pitt." Cindy answered.
"Well... Are you sure he looks like Brad Pitt?" I replied.
" Yes! he's even more handsome and younger than Brad Pitt" Ivy replied. " Oh! his girlfriend is with him also."
Then I took a look at him when we entered the restaurant. I think he's not very tall, I think he looks more like Orlando Bloom. I had my camera with me since I'd like to take a secret picture of the one who looks like Ken. But I didn't see him today. I asked Ivy and Evonne who are in the same classes with "Fake Ken" and "Fake Brad Pitt". But they said "We'd like to take a picture of Brad Pitt, but we're too shy and afraid to take secret pictures of them." So I just decided to do it by myself.
Fake Pitt sit with his girl friends far from us, his face was not toward us. I could only see his back side. But when he was going to leave, I took the advantage when he stood up and turned around to talk to his friends. Haha~ I got it! Ivy and Evonne wanted to copy the picture from me. They kept saying "So handsome! so handsome! Why you don't think so?" Cindy just replied them " Don't you know Jackie always has a different power of judgement than us?"
Anyway, I still think he looks more like Orlando Bloom. And it took us 2 hours to finish our dinner. Quite a long dinner.

You guys just see what you want to see.
The guy in the picture doesn't look that much like anybody.* There are just normal people, but you girls see who you are in love with: "Ken," Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom. Then you think about how much they look alike and how you'd like to have a picture. And maybe how you'd like some other things.
It's the same with your food. It's only a student restaurant where the food isn't prepared well, some of it needs a firetruck to put it out, but you still eat in anyway.** In fact, when there is too much flour, you think it is lucky extra cheese. After all that, you were still hopeful for a good dessert.
What you guys think you'd like isn't really what you want, though. Cindy ends up with Tiramisu, and everybody else has strawberry surprise. Sometimes it's good to just take a chance with what is served to you.
You seem to be the different one. You're the one to pick what you actually ate for dessert; you're the one taking secret pictures; and you're the one that they say has bad judgement. I guess that means you know what you'd like, but you still just see what you want.

*We had a big competition at my school on Halloween where lots of people dressed up as people they looked like. Few people looked like the really good looking actors or singers, but some people really looked like other well known celebrities. The winner was a guy who looked like President Bush. He looked so much like him that everybody laughed who saw the picture of him dressed up. He didn't want to enter the competition, but the resemblance was so great, his friends made him enter.
**I'm surprised they can't make a few pizzas. I've made better ones at home, and they didn't need a firetruck to be cooked or an iron stomach to be eaten.
