I like your jersey.

September 29 2005

Hey, just in case you were wondering... I'm cooler than you.


Went to the Predators game today [against Atlanta Thrashers.]  We lost.  We lost like WOAH.  [5-2]  For a while Susan and I suspected that Jordin Tootoo had gotten sent back to Miluwakee to play another season in the AHL because he didn't play but his name wasn't on the scratch list.  But that's okay. 


Susan and I were like, "This is crap."  So we left early.  We had Daelin [Susan's son] with us in his stroller, so we had to walk around the elevators.  The first one that came was full.  So we waited.  And waited.  And waited some more.  Finally, I said, "Holy crap.  There's only four freakin' floors in this building.  How can it possibly take an elevator this long?"


An elevator finally arrived.  The door opened.  And my I said a very rude word in my brain.  Several of them, in fact.  Standing in the back of the elevator in this gorgeous pinstripe suit... was Jordin Tootoo.


omg... hott.

Yes, that would be that sexy beast right there.


I tried to not do the crazy-stalker-fan-girl thing.  It was very hard, to be honest.  I was wearing my jersey, my most obvious piece of I'm-a-crazy-stalker-fan-girl-evidence, so I was trying to be discreet.  However, he saw I was wearing it and he looked at the sleeve to check the number.


"I like your jersey."


*shudder*


Ooookay, so maybe I'm the only person in the world who thinks a thick Canadian accent is sexy.  Shut up.


Anyways, I responded with the oh-so-witty, "Yeah, I don't know whose it is, just some guy or another..."


HE LAUGHED!  He thought my joke was funny!


Alrighty.  Friday last week:  I bump into him [physically] while he's taking donations in the lobby.  Less than a week later, I happen to be about 5 inches away from him in an elevator.  He compliments my jersey.  Pretty sure that no matter how shy and embarassed I was, there was no way I could ignore a direct sign from GOD.


*dances*


I got my jersey signed!!!


What's great about it, though, is that it's an old jersey - it has the number 55 on it.  He plays under number 14 now.  He signed the 55 jersey, "Jordin Tootoo #14."


It makes me laugh.


Mmmmmm....


Who cares if we lost like woah?
