stranger hugs

alrighty. Been a little, but alas, a story was bound to spring forth, right? Well this ones good too!

So i was walking home from school and at one of the lights i crossed in front of this car that was waiting to turn left, well when i got to the corner they guy driving rolls down his window and yells to me, "Hey, this girl in the back wants to give you a hug!!"

So i waited for the light to change and i crossed the street to the side they were turning to, and i waited for them to come around the corner. Well, he turned and kept driving and then quite a while down the road realized i was waiting, and at that point i want gonna walk all the way down there just for my free hug. So i just continued on home.

Well, they found me. When they pulled up a girl jumped out of the front seat and told me to wait and started explaining the story while her friend got out of the back. Guess when i walked by the car her friend said "wow, he's got the coolest hoodie! I want to give him a hug!" and so there we were, alone (if you exclude everyone she knew in the car, and UPS dude delivering a package, and the standard mail man) on the sidewalk. I gave her a hug, and... yeah, i already forgot her name. But it made for an interesting day no less!

what is IPF?

... well, why does BYU have so many abrvs? Here goes my story about how i missed my friends soccer game. So i was leaving like 9ish... when it started, and i got there at 9 50... when the final whistle blew. So anyway, this story is also about the lameness of mental priming. For those of you who dont know that one, first you should read mind hacks(great book), and 2, its when your response is already conditioned. So anyway, all i knew was the game was at the IPF, and i was gonna be a surprising my friend! Well, sadly my freshmen year my friend played inter mural soccer, and he played at the fields by the RB. So i figured IPF MUST BE inter-mural playing fields... boy howdy... im wrong. so anyway, when i got up there all the lights were off (and yes i walked by the real ipf on the way but didnt look in) so then i called my sister and woke her up to see where other fields would be. She only knew of the ones up by the stadium, so i was on my way. Not happening there, again, all lights off. So i just decided to accept defeat and head home. while i was walking by the marriott center it hit me Indoor Playing Field (or possibly facility). Well i know right where that is. So i got there just in time to hear the ref blow the whistle and end the game. Oh well, at least i tried right? So all in all, it took me 50 minutes to make a 15 minute walk, i missed the whole game, and basically got there in time to say hi and walk home. EPIC FAIL!
