Just Another Day in---[Paradise? Thats a Negative!]

Virginia Commonwealth University. Home of the weird ones.

I sat on my bed, cranky as a mofo. Stupid anatomy. Over the tv blaring and the shouts from those that puffed the cheeba just an hour before, theres this stomping noise...it's Nadine again, in her room stomping the yard! Its nothing out of the ordinary to see her galloping down the hallway or meowing at our dorm mates.

I left Shafer the other night--we sat in there for only 3 hours that night. I walked out the door and hear a commotion, some guy had parked his car up on the brick patio and was doin some crazy jumpin moves. I guess it's good for the legs...they thought it was cool, I thought they looked like a bunch of kangaroos.

I got on the bus around 8:15 on Thursday. There was a black woman, in her 40's Id assume. She lives in a dorm. The bus wasn't crowded at all, maybe 6 people total. And what does she do, she busts out some for of latin song that seems neverending. I respect her, she's paying for college out of her pocket.

Bob Marley's birthday was celebrated by my friends. I was a good girl. I just blared his music very loudly--with my headphones on of course.

At VCU, our tofu is made freshly from Twin Oaks, Louisa Va. My friends are taking a field trip. Im supposed to help them make a mix cd to blare on their way to the commune. A little Hendrix, Grateful Dead, Some Beatles, ...yeah, all the good stuff :)

We decided we'd take a little walk tonight through the crowded streets of downtown Richmond; you know, to walk off dinner. We walked for quite a while--with ice cream cones in our hands. Defeats the purpose, doesnt it?

We found this street, almost hidden from our normal routes to parties. It had huge houses, some duplexes. GORGEOUS! There were windy staircases, beautiful brick (top of the line stuff! lol) and little porch swings. It's the kind of neighborhood where the ritzy live. The sidewalkes were filled with little kiddy cars and skooters. I swear they didnt worry about people stealing them--the kid toys probably have an alarm system.

We were just walking taking our time, when out of no where this white figured animal appeared. I almost pissed my pants! Sarah did too! She ran straight into me!

Roomie and I have taken a routine of watching American Idol and that Lie Detector Show. OOh reality tv. Please end this writers strike and give me back my CSI and Criminal Minds!

You should have tried to take a toy just to see what would have happened
