That includes the cashier at Kroger, the random man from the street today, and my brother.

So, what prompted this remark? Well, this afternoon, Joey called me for a ride. I rushed from the car shop to his house so he could get to the place he needed to get to before it closed. He got in and got business down there in the nick of time. Afterwards, he decided to go to the Savannah Seafood Festival on River Street. He asked did I want to go along. I had nothing else to do, so I went with him.

And this is where things went weird. First, we stopped at my house. Joey had a headache and I needed to get my camera, so we stopped at my house to get pain medication and my camera. My house was on the way from Joey's place and downtown. Joey came into the house and met my father, Nicki, and Matthew again. My father instantly liked Joey; Nicki did not hesitate to tease him, and Matthew made an embarrassing remark to me as we left. Thankfully, we weren't at my house for long.

The most embarrassing thing was as we were leaving downtown, I made a remark on the way to the car about wanting something sweet. Joey thought I wanted candy. I was thinking more like ice cream. Well, this random guy on the street remarks that I wanted something sweet and that sweet thing was Joey. Joey immediately responded to the guy that I'm just a friend. And I reiterated this sentiment. After we walked away from that guy, I had to do a face palm.

We're just friends. Nothing more. People are seeing more in it than there is. It's starting to get annoying.

As for the seafood festival, it was okay. Well, to be honest, Joey and I were both disappointed in it. It was free. It was about 3 blocks of vendors selling seafood, a few overprices activities, and that's it. It's nothing like the Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival, which I missed last month. There was a live band at the band shell on River Street, but the time we were down there, they played some CDs and had drunk white people doing dancing they never should be doing. I could not believe what I saw. Joey's face was priceless when he finally saw the dancing. I remarked that dancing was why I don't drink. He remarked he was glad when he drinks, which I've seen, he doesn't pull that stunt. The only thing good about it was we both got a good serving of Wild Georgia Shrimp for the price one of us would have paid for regular shrimp at a restaurant. And, it was nice to get out of the house this evening.

While I was down there, as we were getting our shrimp, I did notice a certain Savannah mayoral candidate at the newspaper booth talking to some people, campaigning. I had to immediately call a friend to remark on what I saw, which wasn't much. I'm just glad he didn't stop me to explain why I should vote for him.

And in other news, I'm still sick. I still have the mega blemish, but it's shrinking and stuff is coming out of it. I've been aggressively treating it. And my fever came back as we were leaving downtown. I had to take my sweatshirt off because I was so hot. This morning, I got up early to take my car to the shop. The brakes needed to be replaced. $327.00 worth of work, but I also had to get a tire patched, too. I was on my way to get my car when Joey called. Which, going out with him tonight was a good thing because I got to test my brakes. Since he drives my car, he got to feel the difference in the old brakes and new brakes, too. So, they passed the test. Now, I should feel better driving my car.
