My Friday Night

Okay, so I went to the movies tonight. Watched 'Eagle Eyes', I didn't like it. My friends said it was pretty good but I thought it was so unrealistic.

Anyway, after the movies, some of the prettiest girls I ever seen stopped us out side of LCBO (liquor Store) and asked if we'd buy them some beer for them because they're underage(they looked 17). My buddy was like no and I felt like the guys from dumb and dumber. Ya, so...
