The awkward lunch and the great games!

Be prepared for a blog full of awkwardness. haha. 

So when I first started this blog I promised awkward stories. Well I have one from not this past week but the week before. It was the tuesday after President's Day. Me and my friends Alex and Kaitlyn were at lunch in the Wilk and we saw this really cute guy. And i recognized him from somewhere (not a big shocker for me). So we were thinking about it and I finally realized that he had given a talk at the Religion Symposium that we had gone to the previous friday. So my friends were like "Mary go talk to him!" So i walked all the way across the cougareat to go talk to him. And yeah it was a really awkward conversation. That's all im gonna say about it. Haha. 

So the next great story of these past 2 weeks...i met Brandon Davies. I've wanted to meet him for so long! Me and my friends were at the men's volleyball game on the 24th and we saw him walk in and walk up the bleachers to go sit in the back of the smith fieldhouse. So me and my friend Hailey were like we wanna make sure to see if that's really him. So we went a walked over there and it was him. At the end of the game we were like "shoot we really need to meet him!" so we didn't want to go up to him and creep him out, we wanted to wait for him to walk out so it would be less awkward. but he wasn't walking out. so finally my friend alyssa convinced me to just go talk to him. So me and my friend Hailey went up there and the only thing i could say was, "are you Brandon Davies?" he smiles and points to the guy behind him and is like, "no that guy is". im glad he turned my awkward moment into something funny cause i was so nervous. anyway we were like can we get a picture with you. and so he said yes. and it was amazing. he's so tall. and i just love him. haha. so here's the picture:

so the next story...

me and my friends, alyssa and kaitlyn, went to the mall yesterday. me and alyssa were waiting outside of the bathroom for kaitlyn and alyssa goes, "wouldn't that be awesome if #7, Phil, from the volleyball team was here?" and i was like yeah that'd be legit! (because phil is so attractive). anyway, we walk out to the food court to get lunch and while we are waiting for our food im just looking around and i see this really attractive guy so i do a double take and im all like hold up. is that phil? sure enough it was. so we got our food. and went and sat down. and my friends were like "mary go talk to him!" so i went up to him (and this lady that looked like his aunt or mom was with him) and was like "are you #7 from the volleyball team?" and he was like "yeah" and he just looked really shocked. and then the lady was like "oh thats so cool that people are recognizing you!" and so i was just standing there so i was like "well good luch at your game tonight!" and he was like "thanks. are you gonna be there?" and so i said "yeah of course!" and he was like "okay well see you there!" and the lady goes "you should make a sign for him!" and i just kinda laughed and then was like "okay well i gotta go." and phil said, "see you tonight!" so me and my friends always go early to the games cause we like to get front row seats. and we're there and phil is talking to his teammates and then points up at me. and i kinda duck back cause i was like oh gosh. anyway that was that. and so tonight it was the second half of the game. and during the game they threw out these basketball stress balls. and so i caught one. and my friend Neil goes, "mary you should write your number on it and throw it to Phil" thinking i wouldn't really do it. but when someone says something like that to me, i like to do it. so i wrote my number on it and waited for the game to be over so i could throw it to him. so the game was over (we won!) and my and my friend hailey walk over to where they walk out and as hes walking out she yells "phil" and he looks up and i threw it to him. he looked at it and was like "yeah! thank you!" so i don't think he'll text me. but it was still a good memory for me. and it forced me to do something out of my comfort zone. back home i would have never done anything like that. so even if nothing comes of it (which im sure it wont), im still grateful for the experience it gave me =]

Gosh, i love this school so much!
