Boy Bands

Sometimes life gives you a gift you couldn't ever imagine.  Twice.

You see, a few weeks ago I found out that a new movie theatre in our town (it is the best movie theatre ever) was hosting a boy band singalong.  And boy(band) oh boy(band), I wanted in on that.


But I couldn't go that night.


And then, life tries again.  And this time, you don't make the same mistake.  You go, and you love every second of it.  

Imagine walking into the theatre, grabbing a ticket, and approaching your designated theatre only to find a man dressed in a fedora and a vest, welcoming you to the best night of your life.  This wannabe boy band member is standing behind a table that is filled with props to be used during the singalong: a blow-up microphone, a balloon (to be used specifically during Dirty Pop), and a glow stick.  Yes.  So many times yes.


And then, finally making it into the theatre, is where complete joy is felt.  You are surrounded with people exactly like you.  Weird women who want to singalong to boy band music videos for two hours.  Others who dance in the aisles during their favorite songs and who cheer when their favorite songs are played.  




It was full of Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, NKOTB, some Hanson and Boyz to Men, along with many others.  The last song (Bye Bye Bye, naturally) inspired almost everyone in the theatre to be out of their seat, dancing together at the front of the auditorium. It was both amazing and embarrassing at the same time.




I've never felt like I belonged somewhere so much.

Another confession

(this isn't about the same subject matter as before) A lot of the time when I meet people I feel like I know them from somewhere. A good percentage of the time I realize the only way I know them is that they resemble one of the characters on the classic board game Guess Who? Does this happen to anyone else?!?!

Recent Obsession Flair-ups

You know how there are some things that you love so much and you experience these things a ton but then after awhile they just seem to fade out? But then some time passes and you almost rediscover these things with new eyes and obsess over them again almost worse than the first time? This has recently happened to me with a few things. They include: Elton John Tater Tots Seinfeld Showering Grape Juice Thats it. PS: (Did you know?!) Thanks to Dare-bear-stare for helping me learn that my own Denver International Airport is the largest airport in the U.S. at 53 square miles! Props to Denver yet again!

Take Home Chef Wannabe

So once upon a time my friend Jeff and I made up our own little tradition. We called it "Friday Picture" and each Friday we would walk around campus and take a picture with the most awkward/awesome/unique looking individual we could find. It was something I looked forward to every week, and we would constantly surprise ourselves with the kind of people we'd see walking around BYU. A lot of weridos there. One day we decided to meander through the library to see if there was anyone extra special for our Friday Picture. Boyyy, did we find that special person! World, meet Take Home Chef Lookalike. I saw him and I couldn't believe the similarities. The striking features. The blond, pointy hair. We even found some silverware to make the photo more true to life. ( The real Curtis Stone ) Try to tell me they don't look alike. Just try. I think the best part of the story is that Jeff's girlfriend at the time (now wife) had dated Take Home Chef-a-like. And we di...
