An awkward encounter

Some things that make me feel uncomfortable? Probably when I don't feel comfortable with my outfit yet I decided to throw it on and suffer all through the day. Or when I get scared I won't have enough money for a toll and hold everyone up. Or even that awkward moment when boys try to dance up on ya backside and you say no and they walk away and that's the end of it. (But hey some are creeps).

Ya feel me when I say you HATE awkward encounters that you never expect?

Well...do you remember B? If you've been around since this summer. The answer would be yes.

Do you know what Tinder is? It's a silly creepy iPhone app that you can match yourself with someone of the opposite sex and if you match, you can talk. I usually sit on it when I'm with friends and judge people on it. Then again I wonder why I'm on it and what people think of me...

Well. I'm here to tell you that a #singlegirlswag adventure of mine has turned into an embarrasment-fest. While browsing sunday night before I go to bed;  clicking like on the hot dark haired guys (are we shocked?) and pushing the big red X on the losers, tools, and guys who are so not my type, I came across him:

For the sake of his awesome family, they get to be hidden. B's had enough exposure up in this URL.

AHHHHHHHH. What do I do. What do I do. LOLERSKATES. ROLLING ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING. WAIT....

...he's on tinder? Ew. JUDING YOU

...but damnit so am I...

To make matters SO much worse. I scrolled through his other pictures.

This was my nightmare coming true. No for realsies ladies, I wondered if this would ever happen considering he is only 4 miles from me...

If you are asking who that girl he is lovingly and closely grabbing, that would be me. All me. 100 freaking percent. Why wouldn't he at least crop me out. Damn some boys need to learn some basic picture editing skills. 

So being DUMB DUMB DUMB, I texted him saying "Haha look what I just found. Too funny." 

His reply: "Haha wow thats so weird yea I just got it the other day for shits and gigs".

Me: "Yeah I was searching with friends and found it and it made me laugh- bound to happen eventually I guess".

Him: NO RESPONSE BECAUSE Y'ALL BE OVER.

I embraced the awkwardness...in a way...and now I both know we are lame-o singles on the creepiest app made in america. (Besides those locate the creepy scary people in your neighborhood one).

Have you ever had an awkward encounter with a friend or ex?

Share & make me feel better!

Boyfriend-shmoyfriend

Why having a boyfriend rocks. 

As told to you by me.

They are required to clean off your cars from the snow. In the cold. With no gloves.

They pretend or learn to appreciate the things you give many craps about. 

 You can laugh about ugly pictures of you two together from when you were younger/before dating (if applicable) 

You can dress them how you want. LIKE A REAL LIFE KEN DOLL.
(p.s he hated those shorts...and refuses to buy them)

You now have a reason to give someone pointless DIY crafts. and they accept them.

Boom. You now have someone by your side to dance with at frat parties. Or parties in general. 

(This was 2010. We weren't even dating. This is awkward)

You can take dumb pictures with them, and people still think you guys are the cutest. 

Well, atleast thats what they comment........

You can see how much you've both changed. Or not changed. True story, I locked him in a bathroom sophomore year. Left picture 2010 - Right picture 2013

You can dance like absolute loons together. and it's still damn cute.

They look cute when playing with puppies. and babies. You just can't help but sort of get all googly-eyed and go "awwwwwwwww".

The best part? They still choose to go near you after you throw up on them. Aka that happened to me in 2010. On a bus. Sitting next to B. 

And for all the single ladies...you go girl. Keep doin' you.

We did it!

Happy one year to me & B!

...of course he forgets to hide the food behind his back....

But boy am I obsessed with this new pic of us! So obsessed that I decided to revamp my blog since I'm really enjoying the color red recently. 

*****

Have you heard of Alex and Ani jewelry? Their bracelets are so cute AND very inexpensive. I cannot stress that enough. I know people that have so so many and get addicted to buying them. The charms on the bracelet (depending on what type of bracelet you get) usually represents something (i.e power, loyalty, etc). They also have ANYTHING you could possibly be looking for....your initial, favorite sports team, birth stones, astrology signs, and even sororities! My roomie this past year bought them as if they were going out of style. The women who owns/creates this line was an Alpha Xi Delta (and so is my roomie, thus her chapter hosted fundraisers with them). She eventually took me to Princeton, where they have a store, and I saw the price and said Hey why not! We got the best friends one since she still angry about me transferring.

Blaming my roomie for my newfound addiction, I spotted the crown one (Being that I love pageants way too much). I knew I had to have it so I suggested to B that he should buy it for me since

1. He couldn't go wrong with buying me something he knows I'd like 2. Its inexpensive 3. If a student, you get a college discount. 4. Every month they have a select bracelet that is five dollars off (May just so happened to have the crown) Hello, perfect! Can't wait for you to be mine!

You were right

I cannot thank you enough for all of your comment telling me how amazing of a concert Luke Bryan & Florida Georgia Line were. You were right! I danced the night away, stomped my feet in the Georgia (jk) mud, and rolled my windows down and cruised! FGL & Luke were both amazing performers. Check out my time at Dirt Road Diaries tour:

(Being on the lawn means you get terrible pictures but a solid view)

(My DIY bow I made from a flag&hair tie!)

(During Muckalee Creek Water I went on my friends cousin's shoulders and it was the coolest thing ever. I had THE perfect view)

I even vined: vine.co/v/b3Wag3xUDYP  | vine.co/v/b3ZaaFghabr 

I was so upset that Thompson Square wasn't able to make it but hands down the best concert I've ever been to. Luke pulled a 5 year old boy on stage during Country Girl and it was the sweetest thing. He also saw the crowd holding signs for an 18 year old boy leaving in a month for the marines and he pulled him on stage and there was a huugeeee U.S.A chant. I had the chills!

Off to celebrate my one year! I figured out what we were doing early since his original plan was to take me to Hershey Park but it's supposed to rain around there so were checking out the Phillies game today...SO excited!

The story of us:

Want to find out why I'm head over heels ALWAYS for B? Or the reason why I think we work so well together because of our silly past? Read on, lovers of love. alright, couldn't come up with anything clever at the moment in time

1. Summer 2009: Our first time ever hanging out/picture together down the shore (read: what we call beach, obv). We met through mutual friends, aka boyfriend at the time. I couldn't help but admire (aka zoom in on my camera) his small yet ab-ed up bod.

2.Spring 2010: The first time we kissed! Well, not that night but in the spring. In a friends backyard. So unromantic but it was a dream come true (for me). Not so much for him. He totally wanted to get it over with.

3.Cotillion 2010: I begged him to take me since we went to different schools at the time. I knew it would be the start of something new. cue high school musical lyrics...

4. March 2010: Traveled the world together. Made him sit next to me for a 7 hour plane ride. Obsessed over his chin hair (because for some WEIRD reason I thought it was so cute). I also jokingly locked him in a bathroom (pictured above) because I wanted him to kiss me...he wouldn't on account of the fact his best friend (who was my best friend) liked me. B is too nice (except I was mad because I just wanted him to want me). 

Here's where B had a girlfriend and we stopped talking for a little less than a year. Then I facebook messaged him and texted him constantly because I was sadly in desperate need of a prom date. But it ended out working in the end for both of us... ;)

5. June 2012: PROM. Great weekend. And we were without a doubt the best looking couple there. He asked me out on June 3rd (the last night of prom weekend). I couldn't have asked for anything more!

6.For our one month he took me to the boardwalk (where they have shops/rides/arcades/teenagers dressing how they shouldn't/etc). I was dying to go on a Ferris Wheel and although he doesn't do heights he was a trooper and made me feel like the luckiest girl ever.

7. B's first summer concert. Granted it was Mac Miller so it wasn't fun but we saw some great friends, survived a rainstorm, and enjoyed each other's company for it was the night before my birthday (and our two months). 

8.October 2012: Pageant weekend. When I competed, he came home from school, suffered a ride with parentals, and watched 75+ girls strut their stuff. I was so excited for him to come because I knew how excited he would be since I taught him EVERYTHING he needed to know about pageants. He sent me such a sweet text afterwards and I couldn't wait to show him off to all of the girls.

9. Fall 2012: Our first semesters away at college. At a year now (NEXT MONDAY!)  we've overcome so so much and I am so happy he has been by my side. We are the greatest of friends which I think makes our relationship that much better.

Ok, so that isn't the full story but I think that's some awesome highlights of us. Hope you understand my crazy 'obsession' with him now
