Well ladies and gentlemen this is the first year that I have not renewed my status as a "true t-bird." Strange, right? For some it would be normal to only become a true t-bird once.
That wasn't my case, however.
I figured this year [as it is my last] that I would most likely renew my status one last time but..
n o p e
I had no interest.
I simply attended the big true t-bird event and got myself a chapstick but left soon after.
It was an odd feeling but then again I am just fine with it.
<by the way, my new word lately is {odd} so ya'll will just have to deal with it if I say it a lot>
You see, I will tell you the stories from my last couple years of true t-bird night.
Rewind back to 2010
I met Cody Eugene Patterson about a week prior to my first ever true t-bird night. I immediately had a crush on this boy and knew right away that we were going to be good friends. We were both 18 years old. It was our first year of college. Everything was new and exciting. We both new true t-bird night was coming up and it was definitely in the back of our minds as the day was coming closer and closer and as we continued to talk and get to know each other.
Well the big night finally came and we both kind of figured that we would be each other's true t-bird. We were awkward and nervous. He took my hand and guided me through the big crowd of crazy college kids awaiting the strike of midnight to have the excuse to kiss someone.
We signed a little business card type thing to make it official.
"At midnight on the night of______, [insert name here] became a true t-bird with [insert name here]."
And got ourselves a famous true t-bird chapstick.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... MIDNIGHT!
I remember both our hands were shaking because we were so nervous. I quickly took his face and kissed him.
We were officially true t-birds!
We've been good friends ever since then. We didn't kiss again until right before he left on his mission. But that's a different story.
He's in Argentina right now and will be back next July. Crazy how time flies!
Now let's go to 2011
Spencer Barry Budd had my interest ever since the first day of school that year. He's a returned missionary and we {me and my roommates} became really good friends with him and his roommates. We had kissed previously to true t-bird night and it was definitely expected that we would be true t-birds that year.
Now you must understand that I am not a fan of kissing in public. [I'm not comfortable with it, but I guess I'll have to get over that fear of mine someday if I ever fall in love and get married or whatever.]
Well we went to true t-bird night with all of our friends. I was nervous, once again. The count down came and midnight struck.
I was avoiding Spencer and didn't want to kiss him in front of all my friends. However, they told him to kiss me and he turned my head and gave me a quick peck. There was my first renewal of being a true t-bird.
He was a stinker. Although I was mad he kissed me in front of my friends, I can't say that I wasn't happy as well.
That fling AND friendship lasted like two months.
He lives right next door to me now and he's a totally different person. It's odd but I don't even care. His roommate is my best friend and that's all that matters.
So now, 2012, true t-bird night rolls around and I have no one in my sights that I would want to renew my status with.
Well actually that's a lie.
Here's my new story:
I just recently discovered that I have a crush for the first time this semester on a kid in my ward. Apparently he's the elders quorum president, does that mean anything??
Who knows.
Anyways, he's a native to Cedar City and he's two years old than me. He's a returned missionary and he came with the missionaries to my house the other night to meet with my non-member roommate. He's a great kid and he's really funny!
I've come to find out that we have very different personalities though. We're quite opposite!
But it intrigues me.
Anyways, he came to the traditional celebration before true t-bird night with me and some friends and I learned that he does not like to be around a lot of people. Ha, I think he is kind of shy.
I was hoping that maybe just MAYBE he would be my true t-bird for 2012 but he ended up leaving early with the others that we were with because they all wanted to go home.
Fun suckers.
They weren't into A Rocket To The Moon I guess.
What were they thinking?
Oh that's right, they weren't.
Ha it's fine though, I'm not even mad.
So they left early and that takes us back to the first of this blog post... I went to true t-bird night and grabbed myself a chapstick and got out of there as soon as I could.
Let's be honest, there are creepers out there and if you're not careful you could easily get kissed by a weirdy.
Yuck!
So that is my story.
Legend has it that you can become true t-birds on the night of a full moon and only if you're touching the statue "Old Sorrel."
Maybe I'll be able to renew my status sometime this semester before I'm done? Who knows, I guess there are about what, 2 or 3 full moons left till then?
Meh....
We'll see what is in store for me!
Love,
Kate
ps. 75 days left
