What was I thinking!!???

So the ward had a dinner/activity on Saturday night at Aspen Grove up in the canyon. I debated about going but finally decided it would be good to support the ward, and Krishna is on the activity committee and I felt bad making her go alone. So we get there and they luckily serve something other than red meat (which made me very happy since last time, I went there for a dinner I couldn't eat red meat for like 6 months after!) So after the meal they start the "activity". It begins with the bishop and his wife telling the story of how they met, fell in love and got married. GAG! Then they announce that we will be playing "Singled Out". Now growing up in my teen years I watched some episodes of this game on MTV and compared to the rest of my ward, who don't even know what MTV is I am a pro. (Or so I thought!) The game begins and the guy they brought in for the game is my roommates ex boyfriend! Realizing that it would not be a good idea for me to go out with him I decide I will "throw" the game. The questions start and I decide it is too obvious to leave on the first question, so I answer that how I think he would answer. Right answer and I am still in the game. Then from there my plan was to answer opposite as I thought he would. 3 questions later it is down to 5 girls and somehow I am contestant number 4. So the individual questions begin. #1 Sing me your favorite love song (which btw only one of us would do and she sang every one's songs. #2. What would be your ideal date including me: The losing answer was hiking. My answer.... "Ummmm go to a movie and play mario kart" <-- I was going for the I'm lame and don't like to talk. Dang still in the game. #3. If you were a dessert what would you be and why? The losing answer Apple Pie. My answer "I would be a fudge brownie with nuts because I am crazy." Ummm yeah got that right crazy for still being involved in this lame game. Finally question #4. If you met me on the street give me your best pick up line: I knew I was in trouble at this point since I know only 1 pick up line thanks to Jerilyn. So contestant 1 goes and comes up with " Are you from Tennessee? Cause you're the only 10 I see!" OK so maybe I am going to lose! So then comes my turn and I drop "Are those space pants you're wearing? Because your bum is out of this world!" Oh man the bishop covered his face and I just started praying he really liked Tennessee. NOPE Despite all my efforts I won the game. So Monday at 7pm I will be enjoying Brick Oven with Derek. yippee! ;) Moral of this story: Next time make it obvious and leave on question 1. No need to be cocky and think I know the ins and outs of dating game shows since I obviously do not.
