My wonderful brother Dallin got back from his mission about a month ago. Ever since, I've basically wanted him to take my roommate on a date. She's super cool, super smart, and pretty much the best cook I know. Great wife material right there. But I'm not looking for a wife. At least not for me.
Anyway, so I went on an adventure to Salt Lake City with two of my roommates and my brother for to see a Catholic Mass. On the way back, we drove past a nice little delicious place called The Chocolate. My roommate told me I should take her there (because I had been there before. It's fantastic!). But I said no, a boy needs to take you. It's kind of a date place. And she said "Find me a boy to take me." And my brother chimed in "I'll take you!" He had to say it a couple times before my roommate actually heard. But there you have it! SUCCESS!
So we decided we would go on Friday and double date it up. Except for one problem. I have no PIs. (A term Dallin likes to use. He got it from the mission - PI=potential investigator) So my brother continued to try and plan the date, and I continued to not have a date. Until Thursday. We decided to ask a coworker to ask me out. I feel really dumb asking people to ask me out. That's pretty desperate. But..Dallin set it up. So it's all good. He called Thursday night (after we both already knew about the date) and set it up for the next day. That night, my roommate and I planned out each others outfits for the date. I picked out a nice bright yellow Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle shirt with a navy blue leather jacket for my roommate. She...didn't pick out an outfit for me. But she told Dallin about my choice of clothes for her and Dallin said he would show up in a luchador mask and a suitcoat.
It's Friday (Friday, gotta get down on Friday. Everybody's looking forward to the weekend, weekend...enough)! My roommate and I had a couple hours to prep before the date, so my roommate straightened her naturally curly hair for to look HOT. I made hummus.
We waited in anticipation for our dates to arrive. And maybe took some pictures of ourselves. I guess that's what girls like to do or something like that. We heard a knock on the door. I let my roommate answer it. Guess what she found! I man in a luchador mask and a brown corduroy suitcoat. Good thing she was wearing her (my) bright yellow TMNT shirt. Yeah, she looked hot. Just like she always keeps doing. After they laughed, she left and changed her shirt while Dallin took off his mask (it messed up his hair) and I laughed with my date. Off to Wingers!
We went to Wingers next. I hadn't been to that place for so long! I love it. None of us could really decide what we wanted to eat. But we eventually did, because we got our food. Also, none of us could finish our meals, thank goodness. too much food.
So we headed back to BYU to wage a war on winter. Actually...it was just BYUSA that waged a war on winter. We participated though. We danced - Dallin like a ballerina. And like other stuff too. We played laser tag. Which was not nearly as cool in the Wilk as it would have been at Laser Assault. But whatever, my teeth and eyeballs still glowed in the dark. And I got to shoot my brother. And roommate. Multiple times. My date shot me. I think his gear was actually for the other team. Traitor. Then we danced some more and got our pictures taken in a photobooth. Then we danced some more and then raced each other on the inflatables. I lost both times. Because I'm just too nice to let my opponent lose. sure. we'll stick with that. Then we danced some more. There were a lot more people at the dance by this time. And I'm a totally a stellar dancer. I'm like a dance biscuit. But alas, we had greater plans in mind. Like The Chocolate.
I'm doing a weight loss competition with my family, so I only get one treat a week. I had been saving up for this all week, and I was excited. I got some cake. I kind of wanted the flavor "The Husband"...but that might be kind of weird to go up and say "Yeah, I want a husband." Especially on a first date. Plus, that was yellow cake and I wanted chocolate. My date got red velvet cake and Dallin and my roommate (the hot one) got a big ole cookie with ice cream on top. Which they liked so much they made their very own the next week. Awww, so adorable. And so full of calories. Worth it, though.
After the amazing chocolate, we headed back to our apartment. And played with Nerf Guns. And refrigerator magnets. Because that's a fun thing to do sometimes. But after a while, I could tell my date was tired and it was prime time to take him home. So I did that. And came back. And my roommate and brother were sitting on the kitchen floor talking. Until 1:15 am.
Overall, super great date! It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed the people I was with. Plus, I got to eat awesome food that fed me for the next couple of meals. One word to describe this date? SUCCESS!

I'm glad you successfully set up Dallin. I am trying to be successful in setting you up, but you still need to wait another year for him to get back from his mission. I'm telling you though, he's the man for you! :)
ReplyDeleteGinelle, I didn't know you had a blog until you commented on Travis'. You have a gift for writing funny. :) I'm glad I checked this out (hope you don't mind I checked it out).
