Funny coincidence

There is a funny story to this picture, which I just came across a couple days ago. This photo was taken just outside of my dorm room freshman year at UCLA. Garrett, a newly-minted frat boy, was on his way back from a nurses and doctors themed party. He stopped by my room to say hi. At the time, I was back together with my ex-boyfriend after a 3 month break-up. During those 3 months, Garrett and I got to be better friends and even spent one night talking until 3 am! I guess you could say that's when we first started liking each other, but I was way too into my no-good ex and didn't see clearly at the time :)

Anyway, while Garrett was visiting our dorm room, he made a joke about being my boyfriend or kissing me or something - I don't even remember what the joke was. But, me being the feisty one, I said, "Well, you had your chance, but you blew it!" I was of course referring to that night when I was single and we stayed up talking until 3 am. His response to hearing that "he had his chance" was to go into the hallway and yell. He was drunk after a party, and it was funny. So I snapped this photo right afterwards. On February 21, 2003. Six years to the day he proposed.
