My Life Be Like Oooooh Aaaaaaahhhh

A couple weeks ago I agreed to go on a double date with my roommate and her friend Jake, and his old mission companion. It was for Saturday night after my roommate got off work- which was around 10PM....late date meaning I wasn't going to miss the Yankee's game. Well, my homeboys decided to keep the score tied and go into extra innings....not one, not two....but FOUR EXTRA INNINGS!! It was killing me, especially since I don't have cable in my apartment and I was trying to listen to the game on my dinky little radio. The boys finally arrived while I was listening to the game, it was a very intense part so I was a bit preoccupied. They asked me what I was doing so I told them and my date says...."Oh we were watching that game earlier. That 'Jetter' is way good." Really? Um, you don't have to be a Yankees fan to know that Derek Jeter's last name is pronounced "JEEEEEEEEEETER!!" I about had a heart attack!! But I gave him the benefit of the doubt and went on the date anyway.

We get to the car and my date opens the back door for me to get in then he got in the front seat. Hmmmm, me and my roommate Heather sat next to each other in the back while the boys sat in front.....Really? We got to the bowling alley and thank the heavens the peeps there were watching the game so I didn't miss much. While we were bowling the Yankees won, so I was able to concentrate and try to get to know this kid. He's from Texas and is a Cowboys fan......Strike THREE!! All I can say is thank goodness I was at home by midnight, because I couldn't handle this fella any longer!!

So, my hair was getting long and annoying.....it was to the point that it was really distracting me in class (where I have enough distractions without playing with my hair!). So I decided to get a coupon and take it to Hollywood Clips and get at $7 dollar haircut. Hey, I'm a college student, I likes to be savin my moneys!! Well, I soon found out that there are somethings that you can be stingy with and others that, like haircuts, you need done the right way even if it means spending more money.

The girl cut my hair and it looked nice until I went home and tried to style it....no bueno. So then of course, me being the 'independent' college student I am (wink, wink) felt as though I would be able to fix it myself. I learned another lesson, PUT THE SCISSORS DOWN AND DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!! Yeps, I screwed it up even more. That's not the best part though, in two days my family is taking family pictures.....we haven't done this in almost 3 years.....crap! I've tried to get in touch with my hair lady (AKA, the Amazing Tiffanie, AKA "The Hair Whisperer") but have had no such luck :(. Let's hope for da best!!

I got a friendly lil' text message from my roommate today while working on the computer at the library. All it said was "peopleofwalmart.com......." Naturally, I check it out, but I was not prepared for the jack pot I was about to behold. The picture that made me literally laugh out loud was that of the "Cabbage Patch Man." The poor fellow sitting next to me was a wee bit startled by my sudden outburst!! Whatcha gonna do?

So a couple weeks ago was USU's homecoming. My way good friend, Logan, asked me to go with him. I first met Logan my freshman year in Snow Hall, he lived across the hall. We became insta-friends and practically siblings. Anyway, the theme for homecoming was "Your Favorite Decade." My first idea was to go as the Great Depression....but we couldn't get "outfits" in time for the dance so we decided to go as peeps from da 80's. The dance was way fun and we looked pretty dang awesome!

After the dance at around midnight....USU has a tradition of being a "True Aggie." At midnight if there is a full moon or if it's homecoming or A-day, one may become a "True Aggie." To acquire said title, you must kiss on the "A" in front of Old Main. Me and Logan love watching awkward people and awkward moments so we decided to go and watch, little did we know we were about to have a very interesting moment of our own.

We were waiting for all the ruckus to begin when a girl came up to us and asked if we would be in a picture for the USU newspaper and website. They had 3 other couples from different decades and needed one more and we were the lucky duckies! All the couples gathered around the "A" and the photographer began to give her instructions, "Okay guys, we're going to take 3 pictures of everyone smiling, then we're going to take a picture of the couples kissing." EXCUSE ME?! Um, REALLY?! I'm going to kiss one of my best friends/brother? REALLY?!! It got very awkward, very fast!! For the first picture Logan put his head in front of mine to make it look like we were kissing, but the photographer wouldn't have that. So we actually had to touch lips....oh, and don't worry- the lighting was less than perfect so she took like 12 pictures!!

Afterward, me and Logan felt kinda like we had just broken a huge rule....kinda like we were incest. But we were able to laugh it off and we joke about it all the time now. The pictures never made it to the newspaper because the football team actually won the homecoming game, so that covered all the pages....but don't worry, the USU website couldn't let us down!!
