Creepy Date/ Words of Warning for When Dating

This weekend Tori and Alison went to Provo, Utah for a wedding reception. On Friday night Alison's friend Matthew invited us to go on a date with him and his roommates. Alison would go with Matthew and I would go with his roommate Brandon, and then there would be a third couple. This was my first blind date and pretty much my 3rd date of my life. Anyways so first off when we go to the boys apartment we were informed that Alison was now going to have to help drive (after we had just been in the car for 5 hours driving down there...something kinda sucky about this?YES!) not only that but they put us in different cars so that Alison and I were separated. My date was rather smooth at first, it was raining and he had an umbrella. He said that this way I had to stand close to him....Awkward because I had never met him before but still I give him props. Then in the car he kept putting his face incredibly close to mine and asking me if it made me uncomfortable all I could do was giggle and turn away (which is Tori language for YESSSS!!!!).
We started off by going ice skating, all of the boys escorted us in which is kinda cute, but this is only the beginning of the creepiest/weirdest date.
Part 1: " Ice Skating = Great excuse to hold on to a girl"
Within 5 min of being on the ice each of our dates had grabbed our hands. Can you say WEIRD! I know I've already pointed this out but I HAVE NEVER MET THIS KID!!!! By now Alison and I are doing are best to just get through this part of the date.
Part 2: "Alison just has to have her Moment"
During a lap around the rink I glance back to check on Al's and I see her fall on the ice, seeing this as the perfect excuse to get my hand away from his. So I rush across the ice to help her up and here's how the scene plays out....
Tori: Ali are you okay?
Al's: Hahaha yeah I'm fine
I reach down to help her up and when she stands she get's really pale....
Al's: Woah....I'm really dizzy
She grabs both of my arms and puts her head down to stop the room from spinning when BAM! She goes completely limp in my arms.(By now the whole date group is around us)
Tori: Alison? ALISON! Are you okay???HEY!!!! Wake up!!! ALI!!!
As everyone watched I carefully fell to my knees with Alison in my arms and gently laid her to the Ice. I tapped her face and she woke up.
Tori: Dude! You passed out are you ok.
Al's: Yeah I'm fine
She tries to stand when once again passes out in my arms and the date group is still just standing and watching as I laid her back on the ice. This time I can't get her to wake up and I'm starting to panic. After 15 seconds the guys are like, "Uhhhh, maybe we should go get help?"
YOU THINK! Finally Alison came too and a coach and a medic type man checked her out. Turns out she was just fine just a little dehydrated and stood up too fast.
Part 3: "Car rides should never be this Awkward."
When we left the Ice Rink my date decided that in the car he would sit unusually close to me and put his arm around me. I figured ok this is really weird but I'm not going to see this kid ever again, he's leaving on a mission and all night he had been putting his face super close to mine, maybe he's trying to see how far he can push me, or maybe I'm over reacting, I've never really been on a date maybe this is what happens...(WRONG!!!!!)
Part 4: "Almost Normal, wait what is he Doing"
Applebee's was the most normal part of the whole night. or so I thought. He didn't sit so close to me that we were touching, Alison and I were able to be next to each other so we could feel a little more comfortable, and we got to eat. Everthing was all good until all of a sudden something or better yet someone was rubbing my leg. Now I was freaked out and after a few seconds just kinda pulled my leg away and he stopped. NOW This is the part that I should have for sure said something but being the stupid innocent girl that I happen to be when it comes to guys I was scared and not really sure how to go about it.
Part 5: "OH NO! HOW DO WE GET OUT OF THIS!!!!!"
After Applebee's we went back to the guys apartment where the guys were very very cuddly. Now normally I'm all for cuddly, but I literally just met this kid and the ways he's cuddling is NOT okay. He not only was once again holding my hand but he had his other arm locked around me in a way that I really couldn't move.
I know that all you parents are like just SAY NO, and I've always told myself that I would NEVER let someone do this to me, but I froze and all I could think was "You have to get out of here." Alison's date now had his arm around her and was rubbing her arms. We gave each other the "Time to Go" look but no matter how much we tried it wasn't working. Brandon (my date) was now playing in my hair, smelling it, and whispering in my ear that I was hot. I was so uncomfortable I'm not even sure I was breathing. The whole time all I could think was "Why in the world are you not stopping him!!!!!"
Part 6: "FINALLY!"
After a long time of trying to leave we finally were set free. The boys trying to be "good dates" walked us back to the car. On the way of course Brandon wouldn't keep his hands off me, it was creepy and I just wanted to run to the car. When we got to the car he pulled me in and hugged me, I made it as short as possible. As I pulled away he tried to pull me in to KISS ME!!! Can you believe this Kid! This is where I finally got up the guts to STOP him, As he got closer I just pushed him away laughed and said goodnight. Alison's date tried to do the same to her. GROSS!!! As soon as we got in the car I couldn't stop shaking, I felt so violated, As soon as we were out of the parking lot I screamed my lungs out. This had been the most uncomfortable night of my life.
A WORD TO THE WISE ABOUT DATING:
NEVER, EVER let a guy(or girl) make you feel uncomfortable. If you are a guy taking a girl on a date you should always make her feel safe and be a PERFECT gentlemen.
GIRLS: Don't be afraid to say something to the guy if you don't feel safe, it's okay to say NO. Practice if you have too. I wish that I would have not have been so Stupid and I would have just told him off. Also when going on a blind date try to figure out a little about the person before so you can be better prepared.
PARENTS: For sure warn your kids to be picky about who they date, and tell them how to say NO.

I know that part of this is my fault, but NO ONE should have to deal with this on a date, especially a FIRST date.

Crazy Life

We went to this bonfire and on the way out of the long dirt road we saw another bonfire was going on. We decided to crash it, but the parking area was full. Where the road was wide, we just pulled over to park. We happened to park right next to a giant muddle of mud and cow crap. As we were getting out of the car, a truck sped right through the puddle, and drenched Kelli and Malia!! Malia rips off her shirt cause it had dung on it and was seriously about to chase after that truck, but decided against it. Tori and her ninja skills was able to get back into the car without being touched. Then Christine and Ariel were most fortunate and didn't even get close to getting sprayed (they were the farthest away). FUNNY! We laughed the whole way home!

Alison and Christine performed in Acoustic Cafe!! We'll get a vid up of that soon.

Roommate Pictures at the temple!! :D

Mesa Falls!!!

BYU-Idaho Diet makes all the difference!!

AFTER:

Lunch with the most fabulous Rachel :)

So yesterday Tori, Ariel, Mikaylah, Rachel, and I (Christine) got together for lunch at Papa's Pizza. It was so fun, and Christian entertained us. Here is why...

What cuties!

In Delaney's pants, Christian lovingly placed two balls from the ball pit. He then dragged her all the way over to the table to show us. Hahaha!

And this is what else Christian was doing with the balls from the ball pit. SO funny!!!!

Also, in other news: Christine bought her mandolin yesterday!! This is what it looks like

And this is something I made up, and kinda improvised as I played. It sounds cool though I think :)

Nasty Fridge... Prelude to Clean Checks

last week sometime Christine (me) and Alison went through all of the nasty food in our fridge and washed all of the tupperware (well, Alison didn't help wash it lol). I just had a fun time watching Alison freak out as I dumped all the food in the bag haha.

Also, on Friday we all had to clean the apartment for white glove clean checks. We pretty much spent the entire day on it, and Tori spent the longest because she had to clean the kitchen and it took over 6 hours to do. Crazy stuff! But now we're home and we're all really happy inside! The weather is BEAUTIFUL! You have no idea how much we all missed the green :)

Ariel's Shuttle Accident

So as some as you already know, Ariel was riding the salt lake express back to Rexburg really late Monday night and was suppose to get in around 2 am. That night it snowed like a mad man and I (Tori) was suppose to pick up Ariel from the Hart building as soon as she called me. At 3:30 I woke up and wondered how come I hadn't heard from her yet, checking my phone I found a Text message that basically said that the shuttle had flipped and she was okay but they were taking everyone to the hospital. Poor Ariel didn't make it home tell 7am:( and it's finals week.

Ariel was drugged with muscle relaxants and pain killers and when she came in the door she was pretty loopy and could barely stay awake. She told me that only 3 people had their seat belts on, her, the driver, and one other. The Shuttle had an unnecessary trailer on the back and it start fishtailing then the whole van slid off the road into a ditch and flipped over. A cowboy that was not buckled fell right on top of her, he's completely fine, but now she's somewhat damaged. She's having back, shoulder, and a little neck pain.

We've still got her on the drugs and we find her pretty hilarious when she's on them. Her Accident really had us freaked for a while and were all really glad to have her home and safe. But for those who like a glimpse of Ariel loopy, here is a link to our roommate Alison's blog. She posted a video of her on her high. The video says it's 22 min long but it's only like ten.

Weeee! Temple Square! And Utah!

Temple Square, Saturday April 3rd. We went up to SLC after the second session of Conference and happened to be there right before the Priesthood session started. Because of this, there were hotties all around us. We were very much enjoying that. Also!! We were walking, and I was trying to take sneaky pics of the hotties and Tori and the guy who plays Mark in the movie Charly totally made full on eye contact! I saw him too, but barely before he walked into a building that we couldn't go in. It was crazy! And he looks exactly the same in real life! Awesome!! Anyways, these are some of our fun pics from the day. And sorry that they're out of order :) Some are from Friday as well.

Crazy Karate kick! Very appropriate in front of the temple... okay maybe not. :D heheweee!! Marry me! hahaha. We had fun taking jumping pics... and I'm pretty sure people must have thought we were crazy. hehehe
It's like in All About Steve when she says "We can have cute little people on our wedding cake posing like this"... that's what we were going for.

Then I had Taylor Lautner stand in for me, cause he happened to be walking right by. :)
This is on Friday at University mall, we got to do some shopping :))

We went jeans shopping at DI! It was a jackpot, for real! We both got a pair of super cheap jeans!

Our friend Ben makes puppets apparently and is freaking amazing at it!

Sorry these pics are kind of (really) out of order. My bad. We were trying to sneak pictures of all the hotties in Temple Square. We happened to be there right before the Priesthood Session.
