pick up lines are harder than i thought.

So, I recently changed my work out schedule to night after work due to other obligations in the mornings. Well, i figured I would try it out this week at least and see how it goes.

It only took one day of going at night to convince me that this was a better option. and there was one major reason...

Hot Boy working the front desk

So, i walk in on Monday night and here's how it goes...

Matt (the hott boy)- "hey, whats your name?"

me: "Shayla"

Matt:" oh, how long have you worked out here?"

me: "a while..."

Matt: "how long is a while?"

me: "ummm, since like may-ish, but i usually come at 6am."

Matt: "oh, nevermind, you looked familiar. I think you look like a girl that used to work out here when I worked here before my mission."

me: ...(my thoughts are- oh, is he hitting on me kinda? no! he's too hott for that... he wouldnt hit on me..) "oh- were did you serve?"

Matt: "Fort L... (something- I stopped listening kinda), Texas"

me: "oh... cool. well, have fun working out, I mean... uhh... working.... here.... uhhh... Matt, is it? oh...k bye"

Great, I totally messed that one up, I thought as I started on the eliptical machine. but While I was working out I thought of a really good come back pick up line i should have said... dang it. (i'll tell you what it is in a minute)

Well, as I was finishing up my work out Matt was at the top of the stairs. As a passed him, he flashed me his charming smile, did "the nod"and said, "see ya..." He either said "later" or "Shayla", i prefer to believe Shayla, but either is valid. I said- "later!" and ran down the stairs.

I went back tonight. I walk in, and was very excited to see that Matt was there. "what should i say?" i thought to myself...

matt: "hey, hows it goin?"

me: "good- it was Matt, right?" (as if i kinda didnt remember....please...)

matt: "yeah! good memory"

me: "yeah, well i try!" (that was dumb, but i was on the spot. And just when I thought I couldn't get any dumber, I go and do something like this... and TOTALLY redeem myself.... well... you be the judge.)

me: "So, yesterday when i started working out I thought of a good come back i should have said to you. When you said A girl looked like me that came here before your mission, I should have said "Lucky her! not everyone is so fortunate to look like me"

matt: "yeah, thats good, but it's a little too late for that... the moment is passed (passed? past? i dunno, whatevs)"

me: "oh, your right... uhh... haha... yeah... its too, yeah its too late.... for that one... worth a shot though...haha...ehh... k bye." and than i ran up the stairs, gave him no chance to respond because I was turning red...how embarassing.

Great, if I didn't blow it the first time, I definately did that time.... awesome... oh well.

I'll see him tomorrow, and see what kind of fool I can make out of myself then. Although- happy ending is, he still said "see ya shayla!" with his charming smile, actually, this time it was more of a little chuckle, when I left... so maybe i haven't yet lost this fight...

But, now I realize it's not so easy being a guy having to hit on a girl. I have more respect now for when guys try to use pick up lines on me.... not that easy... not that easy....

let me hit you with some knowledge.

So below i am goin to pose two questions. These are demonstrations of thing that make me laugh but really wonder.

The first is courtesy of my uncle Ken. The raddest guy around.... actually to be honest everyone in my family is officially the raddest. I can't think of one single uncool person in my family, including cousins, 2nd 3rd, 4th cousins... besides sharisse maybe.... j jokin! Shes probs the coolest of us all.

k question numbero uno- thanks ken!

1- how come when we say pants it is always referred to in the plural. And how come whenever we say shirt it is always in the singular. For example- you always say "i need a new PAIR of pantS" but everyone knows your only buyin one. and if you ever need more then one you say " a FEW new PAIRS of pantS" generally, however, in this instance, a few normally means two, and everyone knows it. However, you always say "I love my shirt" And when you say "I need a new pair of shirtS" its always at least 2.

Why? Pants are only one article of clothing, same as a shirt, yet however its always plural. tell me why!

The next one. Courtesy of Cam. Cam is the SECOND most hilarious guy i know,(obviously the first being my bff kalani) there's never a dull moment around him... he's also a very inquisitive thinker. Here is his question.

Ima preface this one with a definition for ya-

awe. A, noun. 1, awe. an overwhelming feeling of wonder or admiration

So, how come when something has "SOME" or a little bit of awe, we call it AWESOME, and it is a really good thing. (awesome is Cams favorite descriptive word of anything he thinks is good, like himself... haha)

When something is FULL of awe, it is a very bad thing. hence, AWFUL. full of awe. how is full of admiration a bad thing? .... humm.....

so, what are some answers? I need some. Or some more interesting questions.HOLLAH AT ME!

Oh work

So I was at work. It had been a rather long and busy day.

I finishing screening someone, and I go to grab the next chart up to be screened.

I read the name before yelling it out to call that person back...

JASS (last name), HUGH (first name)

Hugh Jass I say to myself. Say it outloud and listen to what your saying.

And I thought my life was rough.... poor guy.

But at least I had a good laugh, I was laughin so hard i couldnt even call his name outloud... I skipped that chart and called the next one.

Thank gosh I'm not as dumb as you look, because turns out Mike, the manager i tricked about my schedule, made this fake chart as a joke to make me yell "HUGH JASS" out loud to call him back to the booth.

NICE TRY, MIKE! haha, sucka! the thing is, i really almost did yell this, and probably would ahve if i thought i could do it with a straight face.
