Road Trips, HCS, Townies & Other Weekend Adventures


This weekend was totally awesome. On Friday our gang set out to Youngstown (or the little suburbs near Youngstown anyway) for the Heartland Christian Schools' homecoming basketball game (where Amanda, Angela, and Erin went to high school). basically there's a huge joke at Heartland that its a school for gays, (everywhere in their gym are slogans like"Purple Pride" and "The Purple Palace" and of course their colors are black and purple) i think it's a little immature but when i was a freshman or a sophomore i probably would have thought it was funny too =) We also got the tour of the building where John and I found ANOTHER ladder in the wall (i know it's not all that uncommon but they just keep popping up in the weirdest spots, also please note John showing his Heartland pride). moving on, after the game we all went to Erin's house, where Aaron tried to climb up the stairs upside down, and we all vacuumed ourselves into trash bags (at least we're not doing drugs). That was all Friday, on Saturday we took a road trip out to East Palestine (this little town is basically Americas butt hole) to visit Angela. We played a very intense game of spoons (only we used markers), watched Tropic Thunder (haven't decided how i feel about the movie yet), and went out on the town and walked to McDonald's where we spied on the local townies, (in case you didn't know townies are those kids that graduate and never leave, they are known to loiter in establishments, walk around town, spike their hair, wear wife beaters, and deal pot, their are lot of these folks in E.P.) Here is a great example, (the quality is really bad because i was taking this picture secretly). when we got back to Angela's house we met her family friend Dan, who used to be a UFC cage fighter...I MET A CAGE FIGHTER! then we left to go home and found that John got a parking tickett for parking against traffic, oops. and THAT was my weekend. hope i didn't forget anything...

Word - well, you have finally done something that I don't think I've ever done or seen, even in college. Vacuuming yourself in a garbage bag? Wow that is bizarre.

Townies aren't just kids that stay in same place after they graduate - the term applies generally to any local that lives in a college town. Usually, weird older men that ogle college chicks far far too young for them.

Love you, champ!
