This, of course, gets its own post. Why do I even want to talk about it? I don't know. It just kinda... lifted me... then a few hours later dropped me from a second story window. To metaphorical? Eh... I don't know....

So... Aug. 23 is finishing up. Everyone that goes to WHS went to the school today, I bet. I seriously wanted to go and meet up with friends.... I made sure to not leave until after 11... so that there would be a slight chance I could run into Tyler... What can I say? I'm a very hopeful girl. I dream a bit too much. I expect to much, and I'm disappointed with the results often.

When my dad was driving there, I saw Steph and Mel. How could I not? They were frantically waving their arms, and Mel with her bright blue streaks in her hair was jumping up and down. They stayed with me the whole time I was there, even though Steph had already finished. We stood in the line. Before we had even gotten to the end of the line, I SWEAR my heart literally missed a beat. HE was right there!
What are the chances of that?!

Of course, HE was right there with all of his friends. ALL OF THEM. He was surrounded. There was no chance in HELL I was going to go over there to say 'hi' and get all these teenage guys powered by hormones look at me. NO WAY.

So me, Steph, and Mel talked... and stuff... Then I realized that out of all the people I told, I never told Steph about when I ran into Tyler in Borders for the Harry Potter party. But I still said, "Did I tell you that I talked to him?"

"REALLY?! No way!"

So I gave her the story in a nutshell... in like 3 sentences. From how I was saying it, it sounded like it was no longer a big deal anymore. PFT! As if! It's seriously in the Top 5 best nights of my life. Steph then said it sounded like something from a fairy tale.... and THAT'S what makes it so unbelievable to me, still. Karlie said that it sounded like what happens in those chick movies. Those odd coincidences that just fall from the sky. I think she (Karlie) said something about wanting to make it into a screenplay. ^_^

"Did you get his phone number?"

"Yeah."

"Did he get yours?"

"Yeah."

"Did he call?"

"Once."

I then said something... and I know it ended (purposely) in "because he's right there."

"He is?!" She flung her body around 180 degrees in a split second. I don't recall what she said after she saw him.

I saw him get his picture and I had a strong impulse of going over to him after I got mine to see his.

A bit later I heard Mel saying to Steph "But there's so many guys over there." I looked over and realized Steph was trying to point out Tyler. "He's the one in the... D C type shirt."

"Oooooh."

Then Steph said to her sis "I saw that twinkle in your eye"

After I got my ID, I went over to the schedule table with the 2 sisters. 3/4 of the way there... ish... I realized that the 'Y' schedules were RIGHT next to Tyler and his mini army. *cheeks rise in temperature* I went straight back to the sisters (like 5 feet away) and looked over my schedule. "Wait... Pre Cal?" That wasn't right... I was supposed to retake Integrated Algebra 3 B... what I took last semester. The Adv Physics hadn't changed... Clay, SWEEET.... Japanese.... AP, YES! .... and U.S. History of course.

Steph and I (apparently) had Physics together. She was super nervous about that, because she claims she sucks at Science... I'm not saying she DOESN'T (*snicker*), but there are people who do suck more. Then of course, I was called "smart" for being in Pre Cal... which I don't think I should be taking... but there IS a new principal... so... I don't know... maybe things got screwed up. ???? Yeah...

So... we were talking and I felt a tap on my shoulder. This is the weird part... because... just READ ON!! So I turned to the right a bit, turning my head more... then like... I looked straight up because HE was walking behind me to my left side. But I could actually see him because he's that much taller than me.... (it all happened so fast!) Then when I was looking left I'm PRETTY sure he was smiling. I was smiling... DUH. And we said "hi" and waved. OMG! Can you just FEEL the adrenaline running through my veins? (That was slightly sarcastic. It gave me a huge rush, but it sounds like nothing at all significant) I looked back at Mel and Steph and gave this sort of triumphant face. Oh yeah! I'm AWESOME!!

I recognized SOMEONE in the line for the pictures, and I told Steph and Mel to hang on a second. I snuck up behind Brittni (AFTER I noticed Tyler was talking to Michelle Magana next to the line and he could easily see what I was doing), I tried "shushing" her sister and mom... but I don't think it worked much. Then of course, being the awesome friend I am, I poked her in the back. Then when she turns around it's like "OMG!" Which it was. Yay. She also should be in Algebra 3 B, but is in the same Pre Cal class I'm in. I realized that I had U.S. History with Mr. Boothby... DAMNIT!! Not the Boothinator!!! *dies*

Fastforward>>>>

My dad and I left... because Tyler and co. were leaving, but suddenly stopped by the office line. "IGNORE" suddenly flashed in my head, and I looked down at my schedule once more.

WHY THE HELL CAN'T I JUST SAY SOMETHING?!?!?!

WHY is it that my FIRST thing my mind thinks of doing is IGNORING him? And WHY does it just STICK to that? Why can't I just make casual talk? "How are you doing?" "Fine. You?" "Eh, kinda bored." "The weather's nice." "Not so much, too hot" "*laugh* Yeah. It's pretty warm"

----- Why couldn't it be like THAT?!

*big sigh*

My dad was talking about going to Vancouver and I asked what he was going to do. I was paying attention to Tyler and co. outside and told my dad to start up the car and just go. *phew* I WAS able to wave to Tyler as we drove by. Odd how I got swallowed by that urge to wave to him one last time. He DID wave back, however, so it was worth it. *exhales*

Currently addicted to:

"Broken Wings" by Flyleaf (one of their older songs)

Ha! You should've seen me last night. I was CONSTANTLY listening to "Broken Heart" by Motion City Soundtrack over and OVER. I seriously ever being able to 100% relate to a song EVER! Okay, maybe not 100%, but pretty close. Note that this is the radio version.

Here's the lyrics:

**Ah... such an awesome song... ^_^

Don't answer that.

But, I would have to say staying in a single room with a hundred others while you have fun and wait until midnight so that you can FINALLY get the Harry Potter book you have been DYING for.

Oh. Yeah.

In a way it really sucks that there's no more. There's no more of that waiting in a cramped bookstore with a ton of people wearing HP costumes. Guess we're gonna have to stick waiting for the movies. *sigh*

Well, hopefully, (and by hopefully, I mean NEVER) I won't forget waiting in that bookstore for the final book. Pure awesomeness. Why, you may ask? Prepare to sit back, relax, and read the following EXTREMELY LONG blog. Proceed at your own risk... But of course, if you care and/or have nothing better/else to do, then you WILL read this in it's entirety... (so don't think that's spelled right)

ANYWAY, you know how Harry Potter came out at midnight? Well, my parents and I went to Borders for the "party" cuz we seriously reserved a book in February. We did it as soon as we knew we could. So you may be asking, or once I say it you'll realize-- why am I not reading it NOW, and instead writing to you? It's got to be pretty damn good. And it is. Trust me.

We were in line to get our wristbands which indicate we've reserved a book and that has our number on it. A noticed a person in line 2 people ahead of us dressed in Harry threads. "Mr. Rainey?" He was one of my 8th grade teachers, and he ROCKS! "Hi, Megan." and he gave me a hug. So I was talking to him when I saw two people walk through the aisle of bookshelves not too far away at all.
Guess who it was?

TYLER! And Matt Bullene, but that's beside the point.

So even though my face started getting red, I still tried to talk to Mr. Rainey and ignored the boys' presence for now, but then they walked over to him and said "Hey, Mr. Rainey" Then when they walked away, Tyler gave me a peace sign/wave as I waved. My face took a long time to cool down. Mr. Rainey asked me who the boys were, and when I told him he said that he can't recognize boys like he can recognize girls, cause girls don't change.Anyway, once I finally got my face cooled down, they came by AGAIN to talk to Rainey (the line was moving slowly).

Once I FINALLY got a wristband, I headed for the music section, because I mean, why not? The place was packed, except for book "aisles" and such. It was really warm. Eventually, THEY walked in the music aisle I was in, and I of course tried to ignored them as my face burned... Then something fell. I looked over when Tyler, who was laughing, said, "Nice one". Matt had caused the glass... thing... wallish... so that the CDs won't fall every time someone is shuffling them... - to fall. I laughed and Tyler saw me looking at them. I decided to pluck up the courage because he wasn't going to talk to me first... well that was an assumption, but I was "ignoring" them for at least 5 mintues... it was probably one but whatever, I couldn't take the pressure anymore!

So I walked over, face red, palms sweating. I waved and said 'hi', and got the same from Tyler and a wave from Matt. By the way, Tyler cut his hair, but it covers his ears still (I think), and much of his face. His hair was wet, I noticed. It became clear later when he left to put water on his head because he said it was really warm and he's claustrophobic, or that's what he came to in conclusion. Did that make sense?


Anyway, Tyler is very energetic... really. He's quirky. They were doing raffles and the lady we came to know and love on the P.A. said for the winner to make noise. Tyler and Matt would make noise before she even read the number. It was very intriguing (my parents were wondering who was doing that). Tyler said that he wanted to yell "Santa!" but he never did. There was one raffle where the lady said, "I have in my hand a red paper," to which Tyler echoed my thoughts with "No way!"

He liked the Gryffindor scarf I had around my waist. His favorite color is green. He loves Led Zeppelin, Metallica, and he had a System of a Down wristband on. He likes to say hi to random people and wait for them to say hi back. He hates rap...

He now knows my favorite color is silver, my fav band is Evanescence, and that I love Kill Hannah and Sick Puppies. He said it was weird, because his sister's name in Hannah.

There was this point... it was weird. We were standing, still, and Tyler touched Matt on the shoulder, which Matt didn't like. "He doesn't like it when I touch his shoulder when he has a sunburn." then... he touched MY shoulder, like a demonstration.

Wait.

He touched me...

Um... it wasn't long before we sat down on the floor in this aisle. Well, they sat down first. I was listening to the lady... then a balloon was hitting my leg followed by Tyler saying "Sit down!" Later, when I said he kept hitting me, he apologized (I think) and said that I could hit him back anytime. I said to that "I'll keep that in mind for future reference." Oh! I forgot to mention his balloon. It was purple. He said that he saw it floating and he was tall enough to jump and grab it. We had a bit of a height discussion. He's 5' 10", with me at a puny 5 foot. There was a folded piece of paper inside. He really wanted to read what it said, but to do so, he'd have to say goodbye to Balloon... I told him he should pop it in a crowd, to scare people. He laughed, "A bomb in the bookstore. That's horrible" but he still laughed.

Matt kept on saying somewhat... stupid questions... ish... "So have you read all the books?" I said simply, "Duh," he pointed at Tyler, "He hasn't." "I just haven't read the 6th one, is all." Ummm... then there was "Are you excited for this book?" "Duh," I said as Tyler laughed, "I wouldn't be here if I wasn't." He laughed when I said "duh"... Yeah...

OH!!! Tyler and Matt both love Invader Zim as much as I do! I was so happy about that. They actually love the Doom Song, and quoted a bit off of it. Tyler said it was almost as good as Spongebob... I gave him a glare and he thought about it, saying that he does watch Invader Zim more...


After a while we were joined by Mr. Rainey, and we all talked and stuff. It was really fun. Tyler and Matt laid off on leaving. Matt's mom got the book (they had a pretty long line going), and it took a while, before they had to leave. I waved and said bye. Then... I really wanted to ask him for his phone number, or ask if he wanted mine, but 1: right in front of Mr. Rainey, and 2: I didn't get to practice my speech. EVEN if my speeches NEVER go as I want. Tyler said bye again to me, so he got another from me...


I was on cloud nine... well, not really, but close enough. I haven't been able to focus on the book much because my mind keeps wandering to you-know-who. And I don't feel much like reading... but then I think... Hello? I've been waiting for this book forever. THE most anticipated book ever in my list. Everything I ever wanted to know is in that book. All the questions I ever wanted answered.


I could seriously go into so much more detail and tell just about every single thing we talked about (like Texas), but I feel like I've wasted enough of your time already. ^_^
