Yes, this is real life.

Can you prove God has an incredible sense of humor?

No? Well, I can.

About a week after I posted this site and decided to let you all ( and by you all, I clearly mean my only to-date follower, Bryce) read about the great and sometimes embarassing moments of my life, I nabbed a date with a gentlemen I had met on a volunteer day of service. He was nice, and we decided to go to the zoo.  We will keep it short for now and say this was not the time I had expected it to be.

I showed up to work at one of my job's that afternoon and began to tell my story of the date to a co-worker along with another story of another date-gone-bad. 

To understand this, you have to know I am a completely chaotic story teller.  This means more than just the use of hands to speak but rather the entire body... Let's just say I can get pretty into telling a good story.

So, shortly after I finish telling my story about an overly touchy date and a date where I look as if I am riding a horse that wasn't there, I finish my story and begin to walk around the bar side in the restaurant I work in while a guy, about age forty stops me. Our conversation follows:

Man: Ma'am, I have a question for you. 
Myself: All right Sir, what can I help you with? ( Imagining this is a question concerning his drink or food.)
Man: That story you were telling, about the guy, is that real life?
Myself: Why, yes.  Yes, that really happened to me. ( Slightly emabarassed that more than my desired audience heard my pathetic lack-of-love story.)
Man: Wow.  That's just great. Do things like this happen to you often?
Myself: Let's just say, way more often than I would like...
Man: Well, if I were to work for MTV, I have to say I would probably give you a TV show. You just can't make things like that up.
Myself: No sir, you sure can't. (Walking away, feeling slightly pathetic and laughing at the fact that that scenario really just occured.)


Awkward Enough? God, I do think you are funny. You can quit proving it.
So yes, this is real life. Like the man said, you can't make stuff like this up. Even a forty-something year old man can see that.



Wishing I knew a cooler way to say good-bye instead of just bye!
Awkward.
