Athlete's. Aren't college athlete's the most amazing people in the world?! They are like - inhuman. Perfect in every way.... HAHAHAHA!!!!! They wish! And I think some other people wish too. LOL. I recently returned from living in Washington DC for about 19 months. One of the things I was excited to get back into was going to school basketball games! Whoop Whoop! Well I started going to the basketball games and it took one game to realize what I had been missing out on while in DC... watching the school's star player... AC Merrill. I watched student's in the crowd bow down to this guy like he was some sort of royalty or greek god over basketball... what!? Everyone was in love with him and ya... he was good but he did NOT make up the whole team. So I decided to pick-a-player that was going to be my favorite... That's when I fell in love with #10 - Clark Kent. Oh he was a joy to watch! He always had a huge smile and his face and he had some skills! Gosh, basketball was something NOT to miss.
Well in February I was sitting in one of my classes at school. You know the general ed classes that everyone saves till their senior year and so there are like a gazillion students in the class and they are typically way easy...!? That's the class I was in. It was a sports class. One day the teacher began talking about basketball and brought up AC Merrill. I was about to say, "Oh no! Not him again!" When AC began talking back. I turned around and he was sitting a couple of rows behind me! Wow! Good thing I didn't say anything. Then the teacher started talking about Clark Kent... Oh man! Somebody stop me - but before I could cheer, Clark made a comment... Teacher say what!? Kent is in our class?! AAAAHHHHH!!!!! I texted my friend who was going to marry him with me - we decided we could share a husband if it were him lol... and said, "You'll never believe who is in my class!!!" We went on texting and she was like, "Talk to him! Talk to him!! Take one for the team!" I was like, "Uh... I can't just talk to him... I need him to talk to me first..." I guess I am old fashioned in that way! ;^)
BUT I did put forth effort... I think that both people need to put forth effort. Like I started getting more ready lol... and I was ready & willing to smile & make eye contact... flirt I guess... I am not very good at that but I did my best. It really was just like a week later that I was sitting in class and he came in the back door. He sat on the back row and then walked to the front of class and grabbed a paper from the teacher. On his way back to his seat he walked past my desk. He looked down, I looked up and we made eye contact and smiled at each other. The lights really sent fireworks into the room, lol... Not really but obviously we had a moment because he finished walking past me, went back to his desk, grabbed his backpack, and walked back to me and sat in the desk right by me!!! Whoop Whoop!!!! We talked, we laughed, and he got my number! We started doing things and to this day, still chattin!... So I like athlete's but I like it when we both put in effort! :)
Well, Friday night my friend Kristen and I met some basketball players at our University gym. Ew-la-la. They play on the school team, but for some reason were hoopin' it up elsewhere (against the rules). Well I had to leave early to go work but she stayed and did some sprints. Another school sponsored athlete (a football player) got her number and wanted to hang out.
So friday night we went dancing with some friends. Not tons of people but we made it fun. Afterwards (about midnight) we went back to Kristen's house to watch a movie. Now, after the gym and around 9:00 pm we were still trying to decide what to do. Party or dancin? So Kristen began talking to Russ, the football player, again and asked about watching a movie because they had talked about it earlier at like 7. He said he was game, get some friends together, I will too and we'll do it. So she texts him around 10:00 and says something about starting the movie. Well no response until 1:00 am. They say, "Hey we are gonna come over, cool?" We were in the middle of the movie so they come on over and make their grand enterance. Now athlete's are great people. GREAT people. ;^) They just have to remember that they are normal people too. NOT celebrities or professional athlete's. Just students. I think that they are so used to getting special treatment and attention from other students that sometimes their heads get up in the clouds. My friends and I are still open to doing things with them, but we aren't gonna treat them like celebrities. Now I have some good lookin friends. Not just "great personalites" but inside and out. People have even commented to me, "Dang! Do guys just fall all over them?" Yes. But when these 5 football players came, they didn't even give them the time of day. Lucky for us my friends are nice and they were talkin' to them, bein' all polite, etc. but these guys were so lame. 2 of them sat there not saying a thing. 1 of them laid down on the floor and feel asleep and the other 2... they were funny. I'll give them that. Near the end of the movie and not TOO long after they all got settled in the kid on the floor woke up (like he was really asleep) and ran into Kristen's kitchen saying, "I'm starving! I'm starving! I need food, where's the fridge!" His friend Marcos (a funny one) ran in after him saying, "He really will take your food." Well for the next 15-20 minutes (literally and honestly) the kid "Little Johnny" as his friends called him couldn't even stand up straight. He was swaggering and doubled over holding his stomach as though he was gonna die. He would fall to the floor and roll around on his back for a while holding his stomach, the whole time complaining about his need for food. Then he would stand up, fall back as though fainting into the wall again, and eventually end up on the floor. I was like, "This is ridiculous." I said, "Somebody needs to take this kid home and get him out of here. Where does he live?" It was SO LAME! Nobody was doing a thing and the football players just sat there ignoring him and despite all our protests didn't get the kid out of our house and on his way to food or quieted down! Ugh! I finally went into the other room and about every 30 seconds another girl came in to get away from the nonsense until all 5 of us were chillin' in a whole other room. Within 2 minutes the guys were like, "Uh... okay... we are gonna go get some food." We were like, "See ya!" But honestly who does that? Why do athlete's decide 1:00 am is the time to start hanging out and why do they think they can show up and have other people put forth all the effort? AND WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND goes somewhere new, meets new people, and acts like a baby! I haven't even ever seen a child act so ridiculous so I think he topped the all time "are you kidding" charts.
