So today was the day that I lost a friend/more than friend to the crazy institution known as marriage. Well, engagement, but it's the same thing in my book.
SERIOUSLY?!?!? Wow. I'm only mildly upset right now I promise. But really!??! He was really cute!!
And I highly doubt he's ever going to read this so I'm just gonna spill my guts now. :)

I should have known that he was just a total flirt. With everyone. Which includes me AND his new fiancee (GROSS!). I should have known. Pretty sure Eliesa warned me about this. Or if she didn't verbally, I think she was trying to get that across. JUST like his brother. Except for the engaged part.
So story of this boy- and it might sound totally lame, but just put yourself in my position. This guy is REALLY cute!
But he's an RM. Which I found a little awkward at first. But then I saw just how attractive he was and gave up caring. So, back in like February, I went to go hang out with some girls from my hall, and one thing led to another and we ended up playing Apples to Apples at his apartment. With just him. And five other girls. AWKWARD to say the least... Or so I thought. One night shortly after, he invited me to come play cards with him in his lobby. When I walked down the stairs out the front door, all of my roommates were out in my lobby, looking utterly confused and stunned that I was hanging out with this guy. They didn't even know that we knew each other! But by this time, we really didn't. It was random for me too. Then Speed eventually turned in to "let's see how many of the Star Wars cards characters we can identify". I totally failed, but he knew almost all of them. Then like 8 other people ended up coming out and we just hung out until curfew. I got back and we discussed how TOTALLY random that was, but after that he kept talking to me on Facebook and saying things like, "We should hang out sometime" or "We should get something fun going this weekend". Translation now: He was incredibly bored and knew I was sort of a socialite. He used me to get others together, so HE could have something to do on the weekends other than video games. That next weekend, we went cosmic bowling with a group of like 10 people. It was SO much fun, especially considering I basically just hung out with him that whole night. And we went Uno Bowling (the equivalent of bowling crazy different ways, like upside down, left handed (or right handed if you were left-handed), doing a tour jete & chucking the ball, bounce passing the ball and almost breaking the lane, throwing the bowling ball down the lane while either on someone's back or with someone else on your back, rolling into the bowling ball, slide tackling the ball, etc.) So we just started hanging out a lot. And texting or talking over Facebook. After a few days of joking around, I went over to his apartment to play Mario Cart because I'd never played before. That became an almost every night thing. And even after all of that, I still sucked at it. So we literally would hang out like every day, either watching a movie or playing cards or video games. Towards the end of the semester, I ended up going with him to this presentation he was doing for his grandparents and their friends of his mission. It was the funniest/most memorable audience I've ever seen!! They were so cute and elderly and SO senial. Like this one lady was so stuck on the fact that there were gypsies there, she just wanted to know all about them! I laughed about it for days after.
So just random things like that. We went cosmic bowling again. We watched movies and played Mario Cart. I interviewed him for my anthropology paper. We went to a free showing of Divine Comedy. Translation now: All of this stuff we did was either free or through me. Bowling the second time was free. Divine Comedy was free because I'm in BYUSA. Or things that he loved to do, I just conveniently happened to like him, so he'd drag me into them. Like Mario Cart. Or watching Gladiator (blahhhh terrible movie). Or ME making HIM chicken noodle soup while we watched Prince Caspian.
We also went to this totally lame dance party that I paid for him to go to. But he drove so that made up for a small portion of it.... NOT.
So we went our separate ways after the semester ended. But we were still like texting and emailing and such. Like he texted me while he was driving to California (he's working up north this summer) and he wouldn't tell me his middle name, so when he finally did, he said I owed him a dinner date in the fall. THAT WAS LIKE 3 WEEKS AGO. And now the kid is ENGAGED?!!!???!?!??!?!?
Please, if that makes any sense to anyone, let me know. I'd love to know his logic.

Song of the Day: Breakeven by The Script. As usual. I probably won't get off them for a while. At least, not till the concert tomorrow night. :)

lol This post wasn't even about marriage. It was just about memories my idiot/jerk friend who is GETTING married. But I'm promising right now, after this post I will not write about him ever again. Humph. Take that.

And if for whatever reason the wedding is called off, or it's a fake (which I could totally see him doing), I will erase this post.
