A funny story & other coolness

I just had to blog about this while I was thinking about it. I've had an semi-eventful day.

I had a guitar lesson which wasn't that eventful, it was good, just normal, but I wanted to get out and do some stuff. So I called my best friend so we could just go places. We went to the library cuz I have never read Perks of Being a Wallflower and was interested in some really easy reading. Anyways, she's searching on the computer for the author of the book, and it's one of those computers that is on a raised table so you have to stand up to use it. On the wall it's against, there are all of these papers taped to the wall that people have filled out about South Carolina. It says, Great person in SC:, Great places to go in SC:, Great places to eat in SC:, Bad things about SC:.

I was just kinda skimming over them when, being the grammar nazi I am, notice this.

"Great people in SC:
(insert ungodly long list here- it says PERSON. not PEOPLE, I might point out...)
Great places to go in SC:
The beach!!!!!!
Great places to eat in SC:
Pizza Hut (oh wow, I'm sure NO PLACE else has that...come on now)
(but this takes the cake...)
Bad things about SC:
PEOPLE IS BAD."

I read that and I was like WTF?!!!! If I had a pen with me, I would have scratched out "people" and put "GRAMMAR"
really? It made me laugh though.

Then, we went to Wal-Mart because I wanted to get some construction paper for a creative project for my room that I'm doing(I'll put up pics soon), and the sky was lookin' pretty nasty. We were just gonna go back to my house after that, I didn't realize how fast the storm was approaching. Yeah. Well. It approached pretty fast. When we were checking out, I looked out the doors, and it's about I guess 5:30 at this point, but I look outside and it is TOTALLY dark. It looks like it's 10pm. We go around the way we came in because we could hear the rain at this point. It is POURING.
We take off our flip flops and RUN as fast as we can across the parking lot to her car, which isn't really that far, but by the time we get into the car we are literally SOAKED. I have long, thick hair and it was pulled back and it was literally dripping wet. I wasn't even out there for a minute. So we just sat in the car until the storm passed, listening to the radio.
So that was kind of a different adventure. I felt the need to blog about it :D

I read The Burn Journals, btw. It was interesting, really captured the mindframe of Brent Runyon at the time. I didn't like the ending though. It seemed lazy...Seems there should have been a prologue or something...well, maybe the author IS the prologue...still.
