Here’s how I know that Selena is a first-time runner – because while Dean and I and surely about everyone thought there are a lot of people running right now because we are running a race, Selena’s mind went a different place on Saturday night.
Apparently all those end-of-days blockbusters like “Day After Tomorrow” and “Cloverfield” have etched a permanent impression on Selena, because at the beginning of the race, the first couple miles or so, she got rather panicked and began looking around to the left and right to try to catch a glimpse of what she was running FROM.
Selena explained that she’s never been in a crowd of running people before and in her mind the only reason for a large group of people to be running in the same direction as fast as they can is to get away from something – like a natural disaster or an oversize monster.
Fortunately, no monsters materialized, and this irrational fear left her somewhere after the second mile. After she was able to accept she was in no imminent danger, the panic subsided and Selena was able to relax and enjoy the rest of the run.
Oh, Selena also showed me how to use Photoshop to make big eyes, like those stupid cat and dog greeting cards you see at Hallmark. So, when adding a post about her being very scared, it seemed an appropriate use of this Photoshop trick.
I call it, the “Bratz Doll filter.” I would also like to point out that Greg said this was a dumb Photoshop feature. But I know he must have spent all day making everyone a Bratz Doll.
that picture is hilarious! totally worth the whole day spent on it.
she was running from “asian” things
[...] day it is run, not because we were chased by sparkly vampires. Although, I definitely still had the monster complex going [...]
