going to the mall was a nice change of scene from chocolate, sleeping, and super metroid yesterday. little did i know what disasters awaited me.
there was a fire, near arby's on packard avenue. i thought it was dryer steam, than the smog became black. something was up. before long, several squad cars pulled up to the scene, along with two fire trucks and couple ambulances. funny, before I knew what was happening, I was doing a silly dance called the 'ski-daddler' with Mike on the bus-stop bench as the drivers gazed horror-struck at deadly display of ash and cinder.
when it just started to get interesting, the bus showed up. I kinda wanted to stay, but I had a short agenda. i wonder what came of it. Haven't got wind of any news, good or bad.
this was one wacked out bus trip. to travel to the mall, there and back, we departed from eight different stops. eight. it fucking sucked. on the second trip, i met a tall, lanky man who looked like a cross between abraham lincoln and a child molester. he smelled like a cross between cat urine and week old coffee ground.
and, there was timmy. an emo kid i used to see in a religious seminar my parents forced me to attend on a weekly basis. he seemed cordial enough before, but i think he regretted me abandoning the group the moment i moved out of the house. oh well, tough shit. i'll still miss the masturbation song.
we had to make yet ANOTHER stop, then, we were at the mall. it annoys me that mike rarely wants to visit stores without anime, and it's beggining to reaaally grate on my nerves. i like anime, but life's not all about giant-killer robots and busty school girls.
oh, i almost forgot. some, prim, cleancut college guy(s) summoned me to their table, where they said, "hey handsome, do you want to this book. it's an excellent read. it's called 'the giver'. have you heard of it?" i had heard of it. and i told them. and when they offered it to me they swiftly snatched it out of my sight and told me it costed a buck fifty. weird.
after that, i watched mike play galaga on the arcade. the high score was near a million. someone had a lot of time on their hands.
i'll spare you the dry pages of my adventure and end with the very last chapter...
our final destination was the anime store, called 'world of wonders'. it was vast. they had manga, anime and soundtracks to every videogame i've ever heard of. but our time was short. the manager, who looked like jack, told us we couldn't go in with the anime mike bought. so we had to leave, pretty much immediately....that's it.
