Center of Attention

So the other day I was in the cleanroom. To give you an idea of the scenario: the room has yellow lights so that we can use light sensitive chemicals, I am wearing a "bunny" suit which is like a big onsie complete with a hood, there are fans in the ceiling making all sorts of noise, and there are loud machines. So although the room is small, it's hard to hear others, so I like to turn my ipod up pretty loud and do my own thing. (Except when Brian and I watch SNL clips on hulu) I sort of feel alone because of the dim color, and the noise, and my hood. Anyways... so this particular day I'm sitting in front of this machine waiting for it to finish doing its thing and the song that comes on just needs to be changed. I keep my ipod in my shirt while I'm in the cleanroom for easy access. So I unzip my space suit a few inches and pull out my ipod, look for a new song then put it back in my shirt and zip up. One of the best parts about the cleanroom is that along one wall there are windows into the hall, so it's sort of like an aquarium full of nerds that, well, other nerds can look at. It's the summer so that halls are usually very empty. And no one in the cleanroom ever sees me pull my ipod out of my shirt. So just for good measure I turned to look at the wall made of windows and it looked like freshman orientation in the hall. There were about 30, 18 year old boys in the hall looking in while a professor gave them a tour. Awesome.

I Could Sleep Anywhere

And I mean anywhere.
  • Yesterday I was being confirmed at Mt. Timpanogas and I felt asleep and jerked my head under the two sets of hands on my head. After, I laughed and apologized and the man was so nice. "It's ok, you've been sitting there a while" Yeah a total of about 2 minutes. What a nice guy.
  • Another good temple one happened in the chapel at Provo. I was leaning over just pondering away, when I dozed and started leaning forward until my head nailed the bench in front of me making a loud crack. The girls I was with could hardly contain themselves when I opened my eyes and looked around.
I have three good falling-asleep-while-kissing stories, but since my parents like to try and control what I write on here, and I'm sure my parents and brothers would love hearing details about me kissing anyone I'll keep these fairly detail deficient.
  • 1st- high school. I fell asleep while actually kissing, but managed not to get noticed (nice)
  • 2nd- I'm in college now, I again fell asleep while kissing, but this time did the head jerk thing. I apologized, laughed. yeah.
  • 3rd- I wasn't actually kissing this time, but cuddling and as I fell asleep I continued to talk and woke up only when he said "what?!" Just for your personal enjoyment I said "just remember, we'll always be watching you at Nordstrom" (it's a long story)
And just a non-kissing, non-temple one: I was on the porch with Jay and Kyle about two weeks ago and it was really late and I started rambling about something from highschool and then I thought where was I going with this? then I opened my eyes and they were just staring at me with puzzled looks on their faces then we all got up to go to bed. It was clearly too late.
