The story of J

Well, I'm back at my sign waving job which means I have stories to tell.
Yesterday the weirdest thing happened... A guy (probably around 19 or 20) came up to me and asked if I knew where to cash a check on a Saturday. Then he left. About half an hour later I went to take my break (sit in Burger King for 10 minutes and watch the news) and he saw me and ran up to me. This is how our conversation went. *We'll call him J*

"Hey! You know you are very lucky for 2 reasons."-J
"Oh really?"-A
"One-cause I'm flirting with you and two because I think you are beautiful."-J
"Well thanks..."-A
(He then follows me through the BK door and sits down at a table with me)
"Seriously, you should just quit your job and become a model."-J
"I'm a little short."-A
"All the tall ones are just stuck up. You seem more down to earth."-J
"Well...thanks."-A
"I mean it. You are like way out of their league. You are so pretty."-J
(I'm feeling awkward at this point so I just chuckle and look at the tv)
"You play any instruments?"-J
"Piano"-A
"No way! I play guitar. We should start a band, tour the world, and since you are that gorgeous, we can even have kids."-J (no joke. that is what he said.)
"Well darn, too bad I leave in a month."-A
"That gives us time."-J
(cue awkward chuckle again...)
"Listen, I'm having a get together tonight and since you are so pretty, you are invited."-J
"What are you doing?"-A
"It's a surprise until you get there."-J
"Well, I already have plans."-A
"Cancel them and come anyways."-J
"Yeah...well we'll see."-A
He then shakes my hand and says nice to meet me. Then grabs my hand again, kisses it...yes, he kissed my hand and said "you're beautiful! have a good day."

Ohh the people I meet on the street. Never a dull moment.

Tuesday, July 17, 2012

Sorry for being a little off the radar but I'm back! The end of the semester is always the busiest and the most fun so I've been a little distracted. Here's just a quick update on what has been happening the last month.
I went to Salt Lake for my cousin's wedding. It was beautiful and happy and fun to see everyone. Then while wandering around with Kevin and Jarom and we found some random pianos placed around downtown. So I was a street performer for a few minutes!

The 4th of July was a lot of fun. Sariah and I went to the parade, saw Spiderman and then went to see the fireworks. What better way to celebrate America than watch people in Rexburg drive tractors? Watch beautiful people make up the perfect fantasy world that could never happen? and then blow things up? 



On July 5th we went to the rodeo. It was so much fun!
 And full of men that looked like this...
So yeah...it was great.
Funny story though, Sariah and I somehow got talked into helping the clown (which was creepy) do a skit. So when the time came the five of us were all blindfolded and told to dance in the middle of the arena. Then he said a few weren't dancing well so we needed to try harder. He did this a couple times until he said that I wasn't dancing much. But...if you know me, you know I don't do things halfway, especially dancing like a fool. So I got weirded out, knowing that I was dancing. So I asked "am I the only one left out here?" and he replies of course not. But when he turned the music on, I didn't dance and then he told me to take off my blindfold. Turns out I was dancing by myself in the middle of the arena for everyone to laugh at. 
It was embarrassing and funny.
I'll always remember my first rodeo now.

On July 13th it was cow appreciation day, so of course Sariah and I had to participate!
We dressed up like cows, drove 25 minutes and got our free meal. 
It was soo worth it!
