Will You Help Me Uphold Tradition?

Yesterday, i had my first Mocks exam: English. How did I go? The more i think about it, the worse i feel. So i caught a cat (free transport - SCORE!) to the city/library. I thought i might do a bit of Chemistry study, for my exam later today. Feeling slightly depressed from English, i searched for ways to express how i was feeling, without becoming emo. It was Tuesday ---- Half Price Waffles

Not wanting to eat waffels alone like a loner, i asked those around me, who were studying so hard until i came. "Do you want to eat waffles? It's Half Price Tuesdays, and you know what that means". They were full of hesitation, so out of desperation, "But it's tradition to have waffles on Tuesdays....It'll take 30 minutes, max...".
Anna: "OK, 30 mins, *points* Max, ok?".

We ended up going for 1 hour and 20 minutes......my bad....Ok, so my sense of punctuality is pretty bad, but at least my sense of direction actually lead us to Gelare...and then to Pot Black....

Btw, we didnt even have waffles. Apparently waffles are $6.80 now, and on Tues it'll be $3.40. That's 40c more than what i'm willing to pay beacause only last week, i could buy my half-price waffles for $3.00 and spend 40c at HJ's to chuck a cone over it....I'm not stingy.....

Now i want to ask you a quesiton. Have you ever said something, out of desperation, just because you wanted something or someone to be with you? Share your experiences here.
