Friday Night Lights
Saw this movie with the boyfriend and was very, very impressed with the whole thing. After the movie, at the parking lot, headed towards the car:
me: wow, that one guy is now a lawyer...so he was totally not a jock...amazing!
the bf: jj was a jock (referring to his roommate who watched the movie with us)
me: really?
the bf: yep. he played at state too..in college..
me: really?
the bf: yep.
me: did he win?
the bf: no.
hahaha.
then, while driving home:
me: so when can someone be called a 'jock', in US terms?
the bf: well, it depends. in high school, if they play sports a lot, then they can be labelled.
me: so you were a jock?
the bf: i guess
me: wow. amazing (pause) so technically, i'm dating a jock?
the bf: umm. i guess so.
me: that's amazing. and weren't you captain of the rugby team too?
the bf: (pause) yep..and wrestling and football in high school
me: (stunned...thinking 'my boyfriend can beat people up'...and internally gawking) that's amazing! (still stunned)
the bf: hmm..now that i think about it, i was captain of all the sports I played in (aside: okay, okay, maybe he didn't exactly say it this way...he said it in a more matter-of-factly tone)
me: OH MY GAWD. That is unbelievably amazing, mr. overachiever...
The boyfriend was also part of the National Sailing Team in Canada, and the #2 skier in Quebec, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera...oh, and he was also president of his fraternity in college.
If I wasn't impressed by this guy when I met him (which I was, mind you), I am now.
Oh boy. Surprise of surprises. My humble, caring, huggable, cute boyfriend is a bad-ass.
HaHaHa.
Now, let's see you mess with this jock's girlfriend mwahahaha.
Chika lang! Pero astig eh noh?
Note: The only thing I accomplished when I was studying was a couple of medals for running in HS and a measly 3-semester dean's list. I was even less than .50 (yes, decimal places, demmit) short of being cum laude. And I thought I was an overachiever. Tawa na lang! Cute pa rin naman e hehe. ;D
Sigh. Buti na lang Friday. Relak na lang.
