Getting Away With Murder

I've been waiting for over a month for the murder mystery dinner. I was so excited the entire day. I unfortunately had to go to work early and I only got a few hours of sleep, I was supposed to be there until 5 which meant I wouldn't get a nap before I had to be at Tamara's house. But God came through for me. I was in Zombie Mode all morning. So anyway, something was going on and around noon this girl comes in to take over for somebody else, but apparently that other person didn't want to leave work early and the girl didn't want to go back home without getting some hours in. So my manager asked if I wanted to go home early "HECK YEAH!!" was my reply. So I was able to get a nice nap. YAY!!! Then I get ready and realize I don't really have all the equipment needed to look like I steal cars for a living. So I do some poking around. I grabbed my wire cutters, a screwdriver, my mini-maglight, and as I'm picking up my maglight I see my airsoft gun, "Can't be a car thief without some protection." So I grabbed it too. I ended up clipping the cable off....something, I still don't know what it is supposed to be but I figured if I didn't know what it was nobody will miss it too much. I shaved off the shielding and clipped a few pieces off of it and shoved the wire pieces into my pockets.

So I get to Tamara's house and we start the murder mistery dinner, our friend Scott was murdered, shot twice in the chest and we had to figure out who dunnit. Everybody knew I had a fake gun so they all looked at me and I laughed, I turned to Andi and told her if me having the gun would conflict with the storyline I could put it back in my car or something, she said it was okay though. But anyway, the whole thing was awesome, except I can't read fast. Tamara hands everybody thier character envelopes with all thier info on who they are and while I'm still reading mine everybody starts talking and asking questions and stuff. So I ended up missing out on some of that. Once we got the second envelope, mine said in big bold letters "YOU ARE THE KILLER" I of course heard everybody else making some accusations on who the killer is, and stuff and while I'm trying to listen to all that I'm still trying to read my own stuff. I felt like an idiot because for some reason I said to myself, "I'm the killer? Nah, everybody probably has that written on thier papers too." So I throw in an accusation or two at a couple people and go on about my buisiness trying to figure out who the killer really is. When round three comes in I was still kind of in the dark about really being the killer.....until somebody asked Tamara "So by this time does the killer know he is the killer?" the answer was "Yeah the killer found out in round two." DOH!!! Yep, I'm an idiot. It was awesome though, it was completely coincidental that I brought my fake gun with me in the first place, and nobody thought I killed Scott either. HA!! SUCKERS!! It was so much fun. Andi and Tamara did a great job planning everything and dinner was completely awesome. I hope they do another one soon.

AND, we got our tickets for our trip to go see Scott so that ROCKS!!! I can't wait to go down to see him, that will be so much fun.
