Ohk so this blog could be long, but absolutely hilarious and proves my AWESOME-NESS...
let me expand..
Nick, oh so wonderful Nick was able to get us Riders vs Lions tickets for today (Sunday) game. The tickets however were 2 rows up from the Lion's bench on the 49 yard line. Awesome seats, not so awesome that I was surrounded by orange. I however took this on as my mission to make a complete fool of myself!!! In classic Lauren style as the amazing green and white jersies took their place on the field, I (of course) was jumping up and down screaming and cheering and having all the practise roster players from BC (poor guys) turn looking at my thinking, "What is that girl on?" Nothing! Just pure team spirit and energy! So, fans around me, NOT IMPRESSED. Lauren = soaking it up. Bring on the nasty comments, bring on the "how do you like that Rider girl" Pfffft you think your words are going to destroy this fan. Nope. Oh and did I mention a rather large man in orange hitting a tamborine on his head as well as his big belly (not in beat might I add) kept screaming at me, in his voice that LITERALLY, you can all ask Nick, sounded like Satan. And then when the Riders had a big play, I turned around, looking him directly in the eyes and said "Do you have anything you wanna say now buddy. . . yeah.. didn't think so"
My main goals going into this game:
#1- Make a complete fool of myself... check
#2- Get the TSN camera guys to put me on TSN live. . .CHECK. . . so get this, pretty much the entire game, every time the TSN camera guy and his handy dandy assistant came by I did my very best to be noticed, and oh so inconspicuously shout "HEY TSN GUY PUT ME ON TV" Yeah. . wasn't that obvious that I wanted to be on the Tv-o. So finally after laughing and making a fool of myself (as many of you know I am VERY capable of doing this) they finally come over and FILM US!! WE WERE ON TSN WE WERE ON TSN!! HIGHLIGHT OF MY NIGHT. . . or so you might think!
- - - TSN- - - in typical Lauren style. . . making a fool of myself got me far! And after that my phone went crazy with texts saying "I just saw you on the TV". . .I looked at Nick and said. . . . "Yeaaaah they did"
Oh. . another highlight of the game. . . I again, yelled down at some kid with orange footballs saying "Give us one". . . and again. . . in awesome Lauren style. . . We got an orange toy football. . .
Ohk SO THE BEST PART OF MY NIGHT. And the part that made Nick laugh the most. Every single time the Lion's fans sat boringly in their seats. Which was quite often might I add. I would get up and dance around (in classic Lauren style) and rub the Saskatchewan Logos on my jersey sleeves and catch the attention of water boys or players or anyone on the Lion's bench point and smile and say "Yeaaaaah you like that don't you. Yeeeah you like it, you know you do..." Bahahahahaha I'm dying laughing thinking about it. They were killing themselves laughing. Some were trying not to laugh and not to smile but OBVIOUSLY couldn't keep that stuff locked inside. Come on? I mean really! I am so awesome! They had to enjoy it!
So the moral of this story is. I had a blast at the game, now everyone around me, didn't. Which, here comes the rant, because their team WON! Ohk their team won, and they sat their like potatoes in a sack, with no facial expressions at all. I was laughing and joking and having a great time, turning around and trying to get people laughing and enjoying life. NO. No one in that stadium has any concept of what fun is. I laugh and smile at them and they give me this look like, "If you don't sit down in 5 seconds I'm going to rip off your head. Why are you smiling? Smiles are for fun, this isn't fun" Like woah. Enjoy life! It was nothing like Taylor Field, but how can it be? The pride and the sense of entertainment and enjoyment at a football game is non exsistant. People rather pay a ton of money to sit like lumps on a log then smile enjoy the game enjoy the music and atmosphere. It was sad, really really sad. Oh and a side note, the only other people in my section that had a speck of fun were two wonderful people sitting in front of us to the left. . . and guess what. . . THEY WERE RIDER FANS. GO FIGURE!
I however had a great time making a fool of myself, dancing laughing screaming shouting, spending time with Nick and all that jazz. . .
People in BC need to learn to embrace life, enjoy it while it lasts.
Live love and laugh.
