It only happens in the movies

Note to Self:

You know all those things that "only happen in the movies"? Well where do you think the ideas came from? 

The last few weeks I have had so many moments where I stand back astonished... because the thing I just witnessed "only happens in movies". And then I think about it and really a lot of those things happen... all the time. So why do we think they only happen in the movies? Haha 

Here's just a few I've noticed recently. 

1. It was the big football game of the season; the rivalry game. More people go to this game than the Homecoming game so you know it's big. Both my sophomore and junior year my school won and we were hoping to keep the title this year too. Well, the night of the game the weather wasn't exactly in our favor. It rained. And when it rains, it pours. We were all drenched within just a few minutes of the game, but we stayed and kept on cheering. We were behind in the first quarter, but we picked up speed and we won the game. This is the "movie moment":

After we won we all ran onto the field in the pouring rain. It was so great! Could it have been any more perfect? Well it turns out that wasn't the biggest movie moment of the night either. As my friends and I are spinning around in the rain and laughing at each other, we happen to stop and look over just as one of the guys in our senior class runs over to one of his friends (a girl), dips her, and kisses her. Right there, at the end of a victory football game, in the rain. It was beyond great. 

2. This one actually happened the same night. My friends and I were freezing cold after the game so we did what any normal teenager would do... we went to get some ice cream! On our way we drove towards a gutter that was filled with water. We watched in awe as a big truck ran right through it, splashing water up onto the sidewalk where a person was walking, and completely doused them. Come on... am I the only person who has never seen that happen in real life before? 

3. This last one happened about a week ago... I had just walked into the girls bathroom at the high school to change before dance. Well, as I looked over I saw a legitimate "Hot List" written on the door. Complete with about 20 names of guys in my school. There were the obvious picks on there, you know the football players, the SBO's, etc. Then there were a few surprises as well. 

Sure I've seen a few AB + CD written in hearts around the school (those are made up initials by the way), but a whole "Hot List"? Complete with contributions from a number of girls? Never. I sure got a laugh out of it though.

Anyway. These are just some stupid, high school examples. But my point is that the things that "only happen in the movies"... don't just happen in the movies. So watch your back, you never know if one of these "movie moments" is coming your way next! ;)
