the story of saturday
this past saturaday i rode the Tour De Point for a second year. other than the weather being cold and windy, it was the typically enjoyable 26 mile bike ride. i like the feeling of accomplishment that i get after finishing that ride. i also like free t-shirts. i'm easily motivated by that. i should ride the Green Circle trail more often.
saturday afternoon my room turned into a beauty salon because ash was doing alyssa's hair for the military ball. i was too tired to do anything, so later i took a nice long nap, and woke up feeling like i wanted to die. i had a pretty good fever going on, congestion in my head giving me a head ache, overall body exhaustion from battling this cold and the bike ride and coughing which made my eyes water like mad. we had planned to go see the a cappella group Four Shadow at the UC though, so i took some cold medicine and dragged myself out into the rain. the concert was quite enjoyable, we sat in the front row and after the drugs kicked in, i felt ok. after the concert katie was getting the cd she had won and i was standing around with, lisa, ash, darci and cora. one of the singers was looking bored and kind of eyeing up our group and he eventually wandered over, where we proceeded to have some really lame coversation. at one point he looked at me for conversation and i thought, 'oh gosh... i've got nothing' but managed to ask something about how the group formed. pointless conversation continued for a little while and then he randomly said, "so it's really hard to see the audience from the stage, but (and he looks directly at me) i noticed that you have a really cute nose." shocked, i just kind of stammered, umm... well, uhh, thanks. he then went on to talk about/tell me how noses are so downplayed and how he actually likes them. in the awkwardness i apparently smiled as i tend to do and the singer, David, said "ohh... and you've got dimples too!" again, i was caught off guard and something dumb tumbled out my mouth. katie had by then returned, we stood there awkwardly for another moment, then said thanks and goodbye and left. two steps outside the doors of the uc all 5 girls pounce on me "good grief mel! he was totally hitting on you!" gee... really guys? and so the conversation continued. katie and cora parted from the group and the rest of us headed back to the hall. we walked into the HEC and passed 3 assumedly drunk guys. as we pass, one said, I love you girls! ash replied, i love you too. the guy stopped, turned around and said, "was that the girl in the red that said that?"... i was the girl in the red. again i was pounced on with "mel you're on fire, that's why you wore red tonite."
so yeah... interesting night, especially considering that just 3 hours prior i felt like crawling into my bed and either dying or just never getting out. i certainly hadn't expected anything amusing to happen. so that's my story. i got hit on by a musician and my nose got complimented... which still doesn't make me like it any better, but whatever. i'm exhausted. adios.
