Hey everyone!
This blog is a cool idea. It reminds me a lot of magicmuffin.com- a IMSA group blog that John Li/others had when they were here. I remember reading some of their blogs before I came to IMSA. It's nice, seeing the real side of IMSA students. Going past our budding leadershipping selves to see the average, quirky, and slightly insecure people we all really are.
I've spent the last few days thinking about what I would write as a first entry on this blog. Right now, I'm in Washington D.C. with the family. I'm not going to lie...it hasn't been much fun. Too long of lines + too much security= one slightly bored Challa family.
This bit of mental boredom has given me a lot of time to think about random things- blogging being one of them. However, I didn't need to look far and wide for a blogging topic- I walked right into it, at a small little Chinese restaurant.
MONDAY NIGHT, I SAW DR. KIELY IN WASHINGTON D.C.
Our family was walking down Connecticut Avenue (like in Monopoly!) Monday night, when my mom spotted a tiny little Chinese restaurant in between two big shops. Deciding to give it a try, our family stepped inside. The place was pretty empty. The waiter brought us down to the area with booths, and as I stepped in, I noticed a balding man sitting across from a pretty attractive lady. However, something was very familiar about the man...the way he was sitting, his hand gestures, his sweater, his nose...
[Well, here's something to know about me. Whenever I go out of town, I always feel like EVERYONE looks like SOMEONE at IMSA. I have no idea why. I was almost positive that this was another one of those cases- a Kiely look-alike, to add to the OlehZaychenko2 and Mini-JoshCote I had already seen in the same day.]
However, as we approached the table to turn to the table next to it, I was getting a bit apprehensive. This person looked more and more like Dr. Kiely...
Next thing I knew, the mystery-man looked up. We made eye contact, we both turned away, and then we both made a double take.
Oh. mah. gawsh.
IT WAS DR. KIELY.
Trying to figure out how exactly to respond in the situation, I responded like I normally do in awkward trying-to-be-friendly-but-not-really-sure-how moments; I did a quadruple waving-wave (if you want, I can demonstrate it sometime). He nodded back, and I sped off to sit by my family.
The experience was wholly surreal. Kiely + HotWoman left a few minutes after that. I only saw his face once the entire night.
Was it him? Or was it just a figment of my imagination? Will I get Jen Byers to ask him what he did over Spring Break?
The answer to all these questions is...well, we'll just have to wait and see. ;D

I'm jealous!
(not that jealous actually, but i like to be as creepy as i can.)
And I WILL ask him. I'll ask him who he was with and what he was doing and a list of other things.
i swear to god i'm kidding.
No, I'm actually positive that you aren't kidding.
:)
I'm the opposite. I always look for IMSA people and never see them.
But still, that's super amazing. Jen, you must ask him slightly prying questions about his spring break, please :)
Hah! I want to hear more details about this "HotWoman" character, and I'm totally going to bug Kiely about her.
Mamatha, this just made my day. hahaha.
keily used to be married to some other teacher at imsa...but my brother always runs into him at the art institute with "young tramps," as he calls them...
so, maybe it is the same woman or a different one in each city. hmm...
The whole thinking-you-see-IMSA-people thing.
I have that ALL THE TIME.
And isn't Kiely dating an IMSA alum?
