❤️ CONTACT catch of the week // ANDREA MAUZY our weekly peek at a fish in the KU sea Hobbies: I love baton twirling, taking pictures, watching football and coloring. Favorite childhood toy: When I was little, I was jealous that my big brother had 10 blankets and I only had a couple, so he gave me one of his and I slept with it every night. Favorite cartoon: My favorite cartoon was Scobby-Doo because Scoby was a Great Dane and that's the kind of dog I had growing up. Favorite quote:" Embrace the dork in yourself because life's too short to be cool." Major turn off(s): I don't like guys who are clingy, arrogant, cheaters or liars. Major turn on(s): I like guys who are easy-going, have a sense of humor, and are athletic. Ideal vacation: A trip to the Super Bowl to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers win. Notices first in a potential partner: Hair. You can tell a lot about a person by the way their hair looks. Why I am a catch: I can fit in with the guys but I'm still a lady.

Masterson had just moved to Chicago from Portland, Ore., when she received a message on her newly created Facebook account that read, "Who are you? Wait, I think I know you, not personally but... did you go to brooks? Which one are you in the picture? Probably the good looking one :)" Sightly creeped out at first, Masterson avoided messaging Ford back until her friends convinced her to. The two messaged back and forth for a while, both admitting to being too shy to actually meet in person. Finally, they agreed to meet at Ford's locker after school. "I was really nervous so I brought some of my friends with me," Masterson says. "When I got to his locker, some of his friends were there; too." They talked for several more weeks via Facebook messages and then gradually started hanging out until they started officially dating after they went to prom together. Looking back on the experience, Ford says he decided to Facebook message Masterson because he thought she was cute but was too shy to go up to her at school. He had seen her at school, and on Facebook they had a mutual friend. "Oh how the fates have chose for us to meet," Ford says. "I Facebooked her and she Facebooked me." Both Ford and Masterson decided to attend KU after graduating high school. They've been together for two years. "Turns out Facebook stalking is semi-useful," Masterson says. // KATY SAUNDERS Contributed photo Contributed photo Friend request Mackenzie Masterson and Kieran Ford began their relationship through the technology of Facebook after Ford sent an email message.
