When I carry projects to or from school there are three types of people I meet; drunks, the homeless, or psychopaths. Why do they feel the need to communicate with me, about their lives or their genius theories? Do I not look afraid of them? Do I not look like I'm in a rush? Do they think I would gladly stop to talk to such wondorous, funny, intelligent people such as themselves? Whatever draws them to ask questions about my creations anyway?
As I was walking home one day with my finished skull, a 6 foot tall black man stopped and stared at me. As I got nearer he said, "That's me." WTF?!?!?!?! I stupidly stopped and said, "Wha..?"
He then continued on saying the right side was his bad side (the skull) and the left was his good side (the muscle). I just nodded in confusion. He said that his bad side came from his sister's side of the family.
He was either drunk or crazy was my conclusion.
Then one day when I was walking home with my Animorph, a 50 some odd year old man with missing teeth approached me with a wonderful, "Hey baby what's up?". I couldn't really understand what he was jabbering about, but here are the words of wisdom I took away with me. "You shouldn't paint that thing because it looks good just the way it is. You know, if you do paint it, just close your eyes sometime, and your mind will tell you what color to paint it. So go ahead and close your eyes, and what will you see? Black. That's the color your mind is telling you to paint it."
Words to live by.

Movies and drama.
Damn it's been a long time! Here's the dilly-o yo.
Des and I finally kicked out our other roommate, Linsey, because she couldn't handle responsibility. There was much drama, and I am glad to say I wasn't the one doing it, it was in fact, Linsey. I tried my best to be mature about things, however Linsey decided she is God and that the immature road would be the best.
She finally moved out last week, which was extremely nice, and of course, there was some last drama that ocurred, as well as with her sister, Mel (I guess drama runs in the family).
To celebrate Linsey's moving out, Des had some Smirnoff left over which we drank. No, I didn't get drunk, and it was actually my first alcoholic beverage. It was Twisted Raspberry, which actually tasted like the flavored water I get (just with a little zing). I also bought caramel apples, which Des had been craving, which was quite ironic since she was getting her mouth fixed. This past weekend I drove Des to Buffalo so that she could see her Uncle, who is a dentist, to get some cavities fixed before she flew off to her home town to get her wisdom teeth removed. She's still over there, and is still suffering the effects of it.
I forgot to mention that I am actually on break right now, between semesters. Where the hell did the past three months go? Who knows, but I decided to stay here in Pitty so that I could work to pay off some debts and bills, and luckily I've been getting a lot of hours.
On the last day of school, there was a huge ass rainstorm that came along, and stayed pretty much all day long. That was the first time Des and I watched the news, just to see what was going on in the city. Turns out there was major flooding, some roads were actually closed because of it, and there's many people who are homeless because of it (not where I live though). Just yesterday on a little park near the water, I saw a few boats sitting on the grass.
On the news we heard about this body that washed up on some island around here, and that he was already starting to rot, and that he had been in the water for at least a few days. They said that when the flood waters started coming, he was broken free of whatever was holding him, and he floated down the river.
I would never hear of anything like this happening in Granby. I found it amusing though.
Not many people have stayed here over vacation, but a good majority of my friends have remained here. My neighbor, Ace, is staying (he is from Arkansas and he didn't feel like going all the way down there) and we've been hanging out pretty much every day, since when I move three feet, and I'm at his room. I told him before break that we were going to become best friends, and to tell the truth, we certainly are becoming good friends.
Sean has also remained behind, and damn what a character. He showed up at my room at nearly two in the morning, with a bag of nuts and three books. Now, he had been missing for the past 2 days, neither I nor Ace knowing where the hell he went.
Sean told us that he met some guy who is a manager for a bunch of bands, and Sean started writing music with him, met a girl rock band, and some other chick who invited him to her house while she got high with her friends.
Yeah, interetsing. I have no clue how he meets these people, but it's very funny to listen to his stories.
I still have no clue why he had nuts.
I'm feeling a little down and out today, because of certain reasons (nothing to do with school or my job), and I'm hoping it will pass fast, because I really don't enjoy feeling this way.
My birthday is coming up in about 2 weeks, so send me presents! :P I'm just kidding. I have no clue where the past year went, because it seemed I just turned 18. I told Ace to remember that day and that he had to throw me a surprise party with lots of food. He actually wrote a sticky note to himself the date of my birthday and to throw a surprise party! It was very humorous, and it will be very interesting to see if he actually follows through.
I went to the gas station the other day, and I picked up a Cinnamin Bun cappachino.....it tastes exactly like a cinnamin roll. I'm addicted.
That's about it I think. Dawn of the Dead is coming out Oct. 5, and I'm going to rent it Oct. 1 and have a zombie party with tacos. I can't wait!
Oh goody, there goes the fire alarm.
