I just ran into Teddy in the hall. I was walking quickly back to my desk so didn’t stop to chat even though he was like “Oh hey! How are ya!?” (also walked away quickly because I am afraid of boys and am a loser). So I get back and think in my head “…eff it. I have balls.” So I IMed him. Dead serious. I’m sick of just sitting around looking smokin’ hot while there are no plans in his head for dating me!!
Here was the convo:
Beth: hey! sorry I was on the run just now… but realized I haven’t seen you around in awhile… how was your weekend??
Teddy: Good stuff. How ’bout yours?
Teddy: when am I going to get to see you dressed as a donut?
Beth: good! I was in New Hampshire this weekend and last… it’s my favorite place in the world in the fall. gorgeous.
Beth: ahhhh yes
Beth: the donut
Beth: I have to dig out a picture
Teddy: New Hampshire is awesome. Where did you go?
Beth: my family has a couple lakehouses on a lake there… right by Winnipesaukee (had to google to know how to spell that)
Beth: and then yesterday we drove to the top of Mt. Washington, which was amazing
Teddy: That sounds awesome. I took that cog railroad to the top one time and the view was incredible. Probably a little chilly for swimming in the lake though. Sounds like good quality family fun time.
Beth: oh that railroad looked terrifying. my dad almost driving off the cliff might have been scarier though.
Teddy: My family is always in constant fear of imminent death when my Dad is behind the wheel. He’s also the only one who drives.
Beth: hahaha
Beth: imminent death
Beth: this sounds similar to my driving
Beth: do you have a car in Boston?
Teddy: I do, but I don’t drive it that much now that I’m taking the train back and forth
Beth: yeah and I bet you don’t drive that much around Boston… well, probably try not to
Beth: I avoid it at all costs
Teddy: It is always an interesting experience. I’m surprised I still have a fender left
Beth: I want to drive with your Dad around Boston
Beth: that sounds like an excellent adventure
Teddy: Bring a change of clothes in case you have an accident
Beth: haha
Beth: I’ll just bring my donut suit
Beth: as a backup
Teddy: That would be an excellent adventure
Teddy: Let me know when you get that picture. I would like to see the pathetic “bag of coffee” as well if you have it
Beth: yah, that might be a challenge
Beth: I will try my hardest though
Teddy: Understood. I will manage expectations accordingly
Beth: I know I definitely have the donut picture, but since I always refused to be Bag-O-Coffee… I’m not sure I have that
Beth: my high school self clearly thought that I was the only thing worth taking a picture of
Teddy: haha That is both funny and true
Beth: well, also… this big weirdo guy named Jason who was super religious was always the bag of coffee (because I was a mean donut hogging beyotch that bossed around weird religious boys) and I know I wouldn’t have wanted a keepsake of him
Beth: but my friend [Mom] might have something stashed away for me… I’ll inquire
Beth: ”because I was a mean donut hogging beyotch that bossed around weird religious boys” —> this is actually still an accurate description of me today
Teddy: That is one of the best examples of accurate self-analysis that I have ever witnessed. Bravo
Beth: I should put it on my resume
Teddy: Totally, but definitely under Professional Experience not Personal
Beth: hahaha! yes!
Then the conversation died. I got tied up with something and he never responded… but what are ya gonna do. I am proud of myself for applying my new excuse for being ridiculous in life: DIFTB (Do it for the blog!). So there ya have it. Now I just have to find that donut picture and I’ll have an excuse to stop by his office…

DIFTB–love it.
Also, you forgot to mention that ST got a hair cut recently and looks SO good. Mmmm.

ST= Sweaty Teddy. That is his official full-name, in case anyone was confused. And yes. His haircut is smokin.
Mom- get on it. I never thought I would say these words, but I need a picture of Creepy Jason in the Bag-O-Coffee outfit if I ever hope to get a date with this guy.

Religious boys eh? What’s the point?
Plenty of good lookin’ atheists out there. ;)
