What is... mortified?




Ahhh, Matt Morris.  Yep, there he is in all his Teen Tournament glory.  And there I am, in all my awkward high school glory.  I thought he was so cute, and it seemed totally normal that my mom would snap a picture of me posing next to him on TV.  Totally normal.

Well, last weekend I received an email that caught me by surprise:


Wait... WHAT?  So let me get this straight:  Matt Morris read my blog?  He saw that awkward, stalkerish picture?  I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.  In the end, I decided to laugh, and I laughed HARD.  And then just when I didn't think it could get more ridiculous or embarrassing, I got a follow-up email from the girl who dated him:


Wait, wait, wait.  WHAT?!  Seriously?  I had to use my excellent stalker skills to find his Facebook profile.  Sure enough...


Need a closer look?



Lovely.  When I asked Gary what he thought about his wife's picture on some guy's Facebook page, he said, "What is... disturbing?!" Ha ha!  I think it's hilarious.  I can guarantee you that 18 years ago when that picture was taken, I never thought it would be on Facebook, I never thought I'd be blogging about it, but most of all, I never in a million years thought Matt Morris would ever see it.

Hey, Matt Morris:  What is... a restraining order?  :)  Just kidding!

  1. I am rolling over here! That is HILARIOUS! What a great story! I think I'll do a little stalking of my own and find his facebook page. Hey, maybe he'll "friend" you! I mean, if he can have your picture as his profile pic... wouldn't it be funny if you got a request from him? LOL! I can't stop laughing! Love you, cousin! :)

  3. This is your best post ever! I'm ROFL! Wow. I have so many thoughts. First, if he's so sweet, then why, barely a week later, are they not on speaking terms? LOL! And why, 18 yrs later, is he STILL playing the dating game? And the FB picture...Angie, only you would be so...lucky?

  15. I love you, Angie! What are the chances!?! I am seriously rethinking a blog post I've had in the works for several months which includes a high school crush and a famous biologist. I feel mortified just thinking about either of them finding out.

    So glad you decided to laugh about it...

  20. Friend, I am pretty sure we are kindred spirits. I watched Matt Morris on Jeopardy in high school and said, "I'm going to marry that guy." I then proceeded to stalk him in college with my first email account. We emailed for a couple months. So fun to "meet" you!
