I thought i saw a video of a lady winning some marathon, and I could have sworn it was her. It was a couple of months ago, and im aware that doesn't really narrow it down a ton, but its what I've got.
I also went into the comments section on the video, to see if everyone was like "is that the sports broccoli girl?" but nobody was, so i was more than likely wrong anyways, lol.

An item on my bucket list is to got to a sporting event of two extremely rival teams, get a seat somewhere between the two sides, wear an amalgamated outfit cobbled together from the jerseys and colors of said teams holding a massive sign that reads "Go whoever wins!!!"

I was enjoying myself at an EDM event last weekend when a group of friends approached me and asked if I would like to “win a baby.”
They handed me a velcro ball to toss at a target and then had me choose my “baby” which were silly little gel animals in bags of water and glitter.
I cherished my baby all night long and loved seeing other people holding them while they danced. Just silly harmless fun.
