Luis: Natalia started playing Tiny Tower on her phone a couple of days ago and has become completely obsessed with it.
Natalia: I’m not obsessed!
Luis: Oh really? Then why are you playing that game as we speak?
Natalia: You can’t judge me. You’ve been playing that Monopoly game for weeks now, and it is pretty much the same thing.
Luis: But I don’t play it like you do.
Natalia: You did when you first started playing it.
Luis: Whatever.
What do you play?

I was sitting in my class last night, minding my own business (i.e. getting caught up on blog reading during one of our 10-minute breaks) when I heard the following:
Girl: Where are you from?
Guy: I was born and raised here. But I have traveled… (slight pause) I’ve been to Mexico… (awkward silence).
Girl: My family is from Ecuador, but I’ve never been there.
I was tempted to chuckle a little bit. I remember the days, and it was not too long ago, when meeting new a guy and striking up a conversation was code for “this person might have dating potential so try not to sound like an idiot.” I’m soooo glad I’m married :)
Luis: I’m soooo glad you’re married too!
Cougar alert!

It’s nice to see that there are cougars alive and well in Utah County… and I’m not talking about BYU football.
Earlier this week I was sitting at school doing my homework when I see this woman in her 40s with stylish hair, flashy clothes, and nice jewelry sit two tables down from me. About ten minutes later this guy who’s no older than 22 walks up and sits across from her. Is this her son? A son’s friend? A study partner? It then becomes quickly obvious that they ARE study partners (boring!). So, I resume listening to music and doing my homework.
A little bit later I notice they aren’t really doing much studying, but lots of talking. I remove my headphones, and being the nosy person I am, tune in to what is being said. The woman is going on and on about her weekend and how her and some girlfriends went to some bar. I poked my ear in too late to really get a feel of what was going on in her story but she soon asked the younger guy how his weekend was and if he went on any dates. She was definitely trying to probe into his personal/romantic life, and he was definitely trying to dodge her.
The guy eventually began telling her a story about something that happened to him over the weekend, but his back was to me, so I couldn’t understand what he was saying. What I could understand, though, is that this woman was a certifiable COUGAR!
Natalia: Whats with the colored pipes running the length of the ceiling? If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you were hanging out at a preschool somewhere.
Luis: Some people would say UVU IS a preschool.

Girl 1: Oh my gosh, the clock at the bank said that it was 15 degrees
Girl 2: Really?
Girl 1: But I swear it feels more like it’s 7 degrees!
Girl 2: Totally!
Really? Are you serious?? Do you have a thermostat built into your brain??? All I know is that IT’S FREEZING COLD!!!!

OMG. OK. So this is happening as I’m typing this. I’m sitting in school on my laptop just in the hallway. There is a table to my right with a guy & girl talking, and I was in the middle of writing another post… when this caught my ear’s attention:
Guy: “How do you guys pee?â€
I suddenly look up from my laptop, eyes a little wider. What caught my attention was how he said it- in complete and utter seriousness & maturity.
Guy: “I mean can you guys aim it this way or that way?â€
My eyes grow wider, not believing their talking about this so loudly in public and in complete earnestness. The girl says something a little less audible.
Guy: “Oh ok, so technically you guys can go in a urinal?â€
Girl says something I can’t hear.
Guy: “Ok. ok… so does it have a lot of pressure? Does it come out slow?!â€
OMG!
More inaudibleness… when i hear:
Girl: “Psshhhhhhhhhâ€
!!!!!
(Earlier as I was sitting here I heard… from another guy & girl sitting nearby…
Guy: “Come on.. Naked Guitar hero!! …
Girl: (annoyed)
Guy: “Topless Guitar Hero Topless Guitar Hero!!â€
Girl: (annoyed)
Guy: “Fine! Just Guitar Heroâ€
The things I hear.

So as I was walking out of my english class this afternoon I walked by two people in conversation.
Person 1: “What class are you waiting for?â€
Person 2: “Just my Ethnics & Values class.â€
Person 1: “You’re what?â€
Person 2: (non-chalant) “Ethnics & Values…â€
I continued walking not able to hear the rest of the conversation until I turn the corner and hear an uproar of laughter.
(The class was Ethics & Values… not Ethnics & Values).
The situation made me smile.
