Week 3

Week three has been my favorite week so far. It has, in fact, been the most fruitful. :) Yes I do realize I use that word a lot. But I'm writing a blog about pineapple for crying out loud! What do you expect?! Anyway, the pineapple shirt came just in time for week three to my surprise! :) Donning my new favorite shirt, "Ghee Buttersnaps" and I set out with our pineapple in search of another lucky winner! Despite the battle wounds via pineapple from wearing a short sleeve shirt, I faithfully carried my pineapple to the far end of campus. No luck finding a guy on the way to class. As I stopped on the quad to chat with some friends, I began searching through the masses to find the perfect recipient. There he was! This guy met all the requirements... so I awkwardly ran up to him, with Ghee following right behind! I gave the little spiel and handed him the pineapple. He was super excited and I knew I had found a winner! :) He even shouted across the quad, "I JUST WON A PINEAPPLE!" Let's just say, I hoped this pineapple guy would make an attempt to contact me at the pineapple hotline number. We went our separate ways after that... despite my urge to follow him. Any guy with such enthusiasm about Pineapple Wednesday just has to be cool right?
Not long into my second class of the day, I received a text from an unknown number. It read: "Shortly after receiving a pineapple from you, I found a man playing the mandolin asking for people to write down miracles and give them to him. I wrote down the story of pineapple wednesday." Wow. Best Pineapple response yet! I knew this guy had to be awesome! Calling Pineapple Wednesday a miracle?! I couldn't believe it! I really had to fight the urge to scream and jump around a bit... but I was in class so that may not have been kosher. I hoped for a response to my reply... but nothing. Pineapple Guy... if you're out there... I promise I'm not really as creepy as I sound... but I think you're pretty awesome! Thanks for the text! And I truly am glad to hear you think Pineapple Wednesday is a Miracle!

UPDATE ON WEEK 2
Shortly after updating my facebook status about Pineapple Wednesday week 3, a friend of mine asked what it was all about. She explained to me that her roommate had received a pineapple last Wednesday and was curious to know why. At first I was excited! Pineapple Wednesday was spreading already?! My hopes were soon crushed, however, when she described MY pineapple! Everything from the card to the bow! Everything. (They didn't actually read the card though to know it was me!) Apparently Pineapple guy number 2 (the one who hasn't made an effort to contact me) thinks I'm a bit of a creeper. He went to class (a class that he happens to have with my friend's roommate) with his pineapple, and when he was asked about it said something to the effect of "It's pineapple Wednesday. I don't know if this is okay to eat but you can have it if you want." He just gave it away. Ironic though, that he gave it to my friend's roommate. Happy Pineapple Wednesday to her I guess! They all told me they enjoyed it, so that makes it worthwhile anyway. :)

Happy Pineapple Wednesday! Aloha!
