Daydreaming at Vespers

07.30 | I tend to be one of those people that if I get really bored I "doze" off into my own fantasies. I like to say I'm daydreaming.

In my daydreams I am usually a lot taller, more muscular, and always seem to have the ladies at my side with my elegant lines and most-understandable sense of moral direction.

So I was at Vespers a couple of weeks ago and for those of you who don't know Vespers, in a nutshell, is an hour-long worship service held relatively late at night. Lots of college kids go. So I was there and they sang songs that I didn't really know so I didn't really sing so I didn't really pay attention.

Since Vespers is an hour-long service and since we stand like the whole time my knees started to hurt so I imagined myself walking out of the auditorium just to sit down and get a drink of water.

I imagined as I walked out of the auditorium there was a girl sitting on the bench crying sheepishly. I sat at the bench across from her because I didn't know what to do. Then she made eye contact with me and with tears in her eyes she looked back down again and started crying more.

My studly self then approached her, sat next to her, put my arm around her and brought her close to me. Her head sat perfectly against my strong shoulder and she just cried on my shoulder. We didn't say anything but it was just a beautiful moment with a girl I had never met before.

In the end of that daydream I learned that she was an amazing woman from Northwestern and had been crying about a recent loss in the family. We ended up discussing everything from religion to music, falling madly in love, and living happily ever after.

Another, more selfish daydream during that time was that my right knee literally fell out of its socket. It just happened super suddenly and I was going through extreme amounts of pain but didn't cry or show any outward emotions.

After Vespers ended, I told my friends to drive me to the hospital because my knee had just obliterated and needed some immediate medical attention. My friends drove me to the hospital and I was bedridden for a couple days and during that time all my friends visited me with balloons and teddy bears.

Then I imagined that after all my friends left this one girl walked in and said hello. She explained she was late because she was volunteering. She didn't bring anything but it was love at first sight so I was alright with her not bringing anything.

Another daydream while I was standing happened right in front of me. The girl standing in front of me had this square of light right on her back and it kind of bugged me because it was just so random. Either way, this light square shined on the back of her shirt and I thought to myself that this girl has a lovely looking back and that maybe I should tell her.

So I daydreamed that after Vespers was over and she was turning to leave I would grab her hand and say, "I stood behind you the whole time and could tell from just looking at your back that you were beautiful."

We then exchanged phone numbers, fell madly in love, and lived happily ever after.

Yes, my daydreams usually involve me getting the girl and living happily ever after. And no, I do not have a problem with that because the hero usually gets the girl. Because in my daydreams I could fly, lift cars over my head, and stop bullets with my bare fists. I never can beat Chuck Norris though. Chuck is usually on my team when I am fighting the villains though so Chuck is cool.
