i guess i should name my blog laura.

she always tells me i have crazy stories i should blog but when i try to blog them its never the same.
instead i wrote this on her facebook and then decided it was gem enough to share with the rest of the world.
it goes like this:
heres a story inside a story youll enjoy:
so we had a huge stake opening social last night.
seeing as this is a new stake everyone in it was new so they had it at this park clear out in bfe.
they warned everyone there was no parking so they wanted everyone to carppol (just another means of making you meet people you wouldnt normally meet..., in hopes that youll fall madly in love and get married tomorrow).
our ward was having carpools meet at 5:30 and 6:30.
so 530 the roommie and i drive over to the church and 2 cars pull in ahead of us.
2 girls in 1 crappy old car, 1 girl in an even junkier car.
so we all just sit there.
me and janis in my car, windows rolled up, enjoying the ac.
the other 2 cars are dying of heat with windows rolled down in the 97 degree sun.
oh did i mention i have no idea where this place is?
i just know its like 20 min away, hence the reason we wanted to carpool...i didnt wanna drive that far!
so we all jsut sit there for about 15 min till 5:45 amd then they get out of there ca...r and walk over to me.
theyre like 'we nominate you to drive since you have ac'
me being the 'vain litlle b' that i am without missing a beat said
'well heres the thing, i have to pickup my cousin from the airport in half an hour so i dont want ot be stranded, we just came to get directions.'
girl soooo didnt believe me but i didnt wanna drive all those girls up there!
and i ESPECIALLY didnt want to wait for them to be ready to go (they were the kind of girls who would have stayed till the very end, helped clean up and everything...you know how i feel about those nerds :)
anyway, we ended up going with our friend matt which worked out in my favor because not only did HE drive...
he drove his BMW.
i got shotgun.
AND ac.
lindsey: 1.
weird girls: 0.
part 2 continued below.
so we get to this shindig and they announced like 12 times 'go mingle! meet people! talk to someone you dont know! you might marry them! have your rings ready! blah blah blah!' ok so the last part was my interpretation.
but they made everyon...e wear color coordinated name tags for what ward they were in.
then they gave everyone a piece of paper with 5 spaces on it for you to meet someone from another ward, write there name down, and when you had 5 enter it into a drawing for a gift card to cafe rio.
which i hate so you can guess if i played that game or NOT!
so i didnt do the whole name tag thing at first.
but i did try to talk to some people....and i looked HOT.
and NO ONE wanted to talk to me.
it was really causing my self esteem to plummet.
i seriously started conversations with 3 different boys who all just ended up walking away mid conversation.
i did however touch another guys butt but thats even another story.
so since no one was talking to me i decided i was going to show them!
i went and got a name tag on which i wrote "leave me alone :)"
therefore, when people wondered why no one was talking to me, it would appear as thought it was because I didnt want them to!
genius right?!
so the name tags working out great.
no one talked to me!
until we were getting ready to leave waiting on 1 girl and this...i guess he was a boy...comes up and says "leave you alone?" i respond "yes its just a bad day"
he walks away.
i turn to janis and say, "now that is why i have this name tag."
