So prom is coming up. What do you do?
You make blanket forts and eat dinner on the roof of the school.
You’re standing in the Louisville Kentucky International Airport. What do you do?
You do a handstand amidst the busy travelers.
You’re on a date and you ran out of things to do. What do you do?
You stalk Donny Osmond.
Hello my name is Scott Houghton; I’m a 17 year old living in Provo Utah. Oh wait, before you spend your next 5 minutes reading this post, I have to warn you about something. I’m not your average teenager. Seriously!!! So if you were hoping to read a boring post about some boring average teenager who spends the majority of their day playing video games and watching T.V., stop reading immediately!!!! This is not one of those posts.
So I’ll start again from the beginning. Hello I’m Scott Houghton; I a 17 year old living in Provo Utah and I am not your average teenager. Why am I not your average teenager? Well being average just isn’t my style. It’s so boring to be average. I like being different, I like excitement, and yes I would like to be legendary someday.
How am I going to become a legend? Well for starters I want to be a legend at Provo High School. Not like the legendary amazing student who gets straight A’s and gets 100% on every test ever. Because believe me, I am not that kind of person. I’m talking about becoming a dating legend. I want people/teachers at Provo High School to talk about all the sweet awesome dates I went on and stuff like that. For example, this year for prom we had a really fun “day date”. It was all little kid themed. We first picked up all our dates and went to my house and built a really awesome blanket fort in my living room.
After, we watched “Finding Nemo” and ate/traded our sack lunches. After the blanket fort we went to Discovery Park in Pleasant Grove (a.k.a. the wood park) and played tag, kickball, and other little kid games. It was really fun.
We then dropped off our dates so they could get ready for the dance and for dinner. Dinner was the most legendary thing that we did. We went to the roof of the school set up a table and ate dinner on the roof of the school. It was really, really cool.
See what I mean by legendary? As far as I know I’m well on my way. Some of the other really fun/creative dates I’ve been on are: drive-in movies (we made cars out of cardboard boxes and watched movies in the living room), snow golfing (pretty self explanatory we snuck onto a golf course in the middle of winter and played golf in the snow), Macey’s games (we went to Macey’s food store in Provo and played all kinds of games), Provo tour of the roofs (we went all over Provo and took a tour of the roof tops), stalk Donny Osmond (we found his house, knocked on his door, and got him to sing happy birthday to my mom for a video we made for her) see video HERE, rock climbing, hiking, bike rides, etc. Becoming a “dating legend” at Provo High School is one of my goals not just for the fame, but because going on amazingly awesome dates is just plain fun.
Thanks for reading about me the crazy-dating legend known as Scott Houghton. Have a good week. Go celebrate teenager week by toilet papering someone’s house, making a bomb, lighting something on fire, and anything else that us crazy teenagers love to do.

I would have to say that you are on your way to becoming legendary in the dating world. One word describes you. FUN.
I couldn't get into the site where Donny Osmond is singing to your mom, but I really want to see it. I have been in crushland over Donny Osmond since I was in junior high school :) Do you think you can go back to his house and get him to sing happy birthday to me? Pretty please :)
You are a very fun young man.

That's my boy! :) Thanks Courtney! I opened my blog up for the world to see (just for a little bit!) Yikes!
MY favorite teenager so far. I loved your post. I loved your Mom's birthday gift, Love Donnie...I'm sure you will be a legend in the dating world. Good Luck...
This kid is AWESOME!!!!
Great post Scott! I will have my teenagers read it... love the idea about the drive-in movie, and I can totally see them doing it.
I hope you become the legend you want to be!
That was AMAZING!! Even better then Donny was Ryan S. How cool! You should come out to Colorado and teach the boys out here to date!
We have lots of fun cute Laurals. Not so many priests. Have FUN!
You will be Legendary!
You are a fun young man..... unless you are building bombs or lighting things on fire. Then? Not so much.
Ha ha ha ha ha! Donny Osmond is a good sport.
GO CARI! For raising such fabulous kids.
Scott is my nephew :) And I can fully testify that he IS legendary. Not only as a dating legend, but as a family member. He is the BEST! And we are very proud of him for all his creativity and how he lets us gush on him every chance we get :)
WHOA! I loved the horse's greeting just as much as that sweet Donnys!! hehe DO NOT MAKE ANY BOMBS!and just little fires roasting marshmellows is just as FUN! Roof dining, I could go for too! Happy Graduation Scott!
Sounds like he needs to offer lessons to GROWN MEN! He'll make an awesome husband someday, Keep up those LEGENDARY dates!!
OK, those things sound amazing. I wish I had gone on dates that creative and fun!!
Ugh! I can't see the video either....any tips?
I am so disappointed that my sister doesn't live in Provo so she can date your nephews or other cool teenagers that you know...She's graduating today at 17, she'll be in "the burg" come January :( I will be screening cool dates(not fiances) for her then. I am open to accepting early applications from anyone related to you or that you think would be a good "non-commital" date :D
I love the way he is able to come up with fun dates that are not the norm. My favorite - drive in movie with cardboard cars:) I was able to see the video he made for his mom - best gift ever and what fun that Donny did that. We need more Scott's in the world.
Sounds like a fun guy to date & be friends with :) Lindsey
Wow, you are such a fun date! So here is a fun thing we did when I was of dating age...hee, hee. We all got dressed up in 80's clothes (guys were in 80's suits) and we went to the movie theater to watch Wedding Singer. It was AWESOME!! Or if you go to a sports themed movie dress up in uniforms...stuff like that. It was a blast! You sound like a great kid! Keep it up!!
I had a good friend like you as a teenage who I group-dated with who liked to do crazy "free" (if possible) dates.
i'll share a couple and maybe you can add them to your list:
they hung a couch from a tree (high enough that the only way you could get on it was by climbing on the roof of a van to sit on it) and we watched a movie.
went to utah lake for a picnic lunch and to jump out of trees and off bridges into the water. (i watched. i'm a chicken)
made a giant bonfire of dead christmas trees that we picked up off the street.
have fun!
If only I could be 17 again...these dates sound super awesome!!!
am I the only one that is freaked out that this kid thinks building bombs is something crazy fun that teenagers do??
otherwise, sounds like a fun kid!
Some day, you will make a girl very happy with an extremely LEGENDARY proposal. You KNOW we will be reading about it in the papers or watching a cool video on u-tube. Because...it will be LEGENDARY!
Scott...I never knew you were such an exciting kid! I learned my lesson.

Just to set the record straight...He was joking when he wrote the last paragraph. I asked him why he wrote it when I read it myself. He just gave me this goofy smile and said, "Come on! I was JOKING!" He has a different sense of humor sometimes. He doesn't really build bombs, he's never been toliet papering, and the only fire he builds is in a campsite. Really, he's a good kid with a GREAT group of friends. So, don't worry...there won't be any fires or bombs in Provo anytime soon (at least set off by Scott)! Toilet papering - I can't guarantee! :)
Dear Anonymously "freaked out",
it is called sarcasm- try reading it again :) thanks, love "not freaked out" becuz I get sarcasm
I'd like to say that Scott is in my chemistry class and sits by the window. A few days ago, he opened the window and climbed out saying "I'll be back in a minute!"... that was pretty darn legendary.
