A little while ago, my friend Kate (who goes to CU) and I were talking about this guy that she remembered from our orientation at CU who is going here for the semester. I didn't remember him at all but she promised he was hot. The next evening, Kate, Caitlin (who doesn't go to CU) and I were in front of this pub. Kate sees this guy waiting in front of the pub-- dark curly hair, bright blue eyes that could pierce your soul, brilliant smile. She says that she's pretty sure that he's the one from CU. I still don't have any idea who this kid is. Caitlin, naturally, decides to shout out "COLORADO!" as I'm staring at him trying to figure out if I remember him.
He looks over at us (and by "us" I mean me), and I raanf awkwardly for a second before trying to be all nonchalant and say "you go to CU?" He looks really creeped out and confused because, like I've mentioned, I didn't know him and I'm sure he didn't remember me. He mumbles an affirmative response and goes back inside. Then of course I have two classes with him.
Story the second:
Caitlin and I encounter some guy in the courtyard of our apartment complex. He's Irish and asks us where we're from; I say Colorado.
Him: My roommate's from Colorado!
Me: Who is he?
Him: [Says his name which I don't remember]
Me: uhhh... what does he look like?
Him: I dunno, curly hair?
Caitlin: [pointing at me] SHE KNOWS HIM!
Me: No I do not.
Caitlin: [keeps insisting that I know him]
Him: Well come on up to my apartment and say hi.
The whole time I'm just thinking "Oh God this kid already thinks I'm super creepy what the fuck is he going to do if I show up in his apartment?"
So for whatever reason (probably had to do with the mass consumption of whiskey) we follow him up to his apartment. He starts banging on someone's door (it was like 3:00 in the morning) for about three minutes before someone comes out. Lo and behold it is not the kid from earlier, but a slightly less attractive (albeit much taller) guy who has just been woken up (did I mention he was only wearing boxers?) with claims that someone he knows is here. I promptly raanf even harder than I did in the first anecdote. I apologize profusely and try my best to explain that I didn't want to come up to his apartment and try to convince him I'm not an über creeper. I don't think it worked that well.
And of course, he goes to CU as well. And he's in several of my classes here. And I am now seeing him at least once a day when I'm not on campus.
Yeah. So that whole thing was awkward. You guys have any paralyzingly awkward moments lately?

I don't know how my week is going to go yet, but I can guarantee that this post will be the best part. I just LOL'd my way through it...in the computer lab on campus. Thanks for that. Maybe this second one will realize the extreme level of your cool, and maybe you can hide your extreme level (albeit, lower than mine) creepy, and you can become BFFs/bang.
Also, please take creepy pictures of this boy. Try to include his tall.
Awkward moments, eh? Well, while in Boulder this week I've been trying v hard to be all amiable to Leonard's schedule and whatnot, and so in good fun I decided to go to this weekly talk thing that he organizes. So everyone is all into listening to this guy talk about environmental careers, and lo and behold, my phone starts buzzing LOUDLY! And instead of being courteous, I look at who it was, and lo and behold! It was YOU! I was thisssssssssssssss close to picking it up because I was fairly certain you were drunk faced/wasty facety, (as your message confirmed), but instead I ignored the poisonous looks of CU's environmental studies majors and went back to considering careers in energy efficient school engineering.
Also, I agree with Ming. Capture fotografias por favor of this petit chou.
Can I call him little cabbage?
