Magnets

Tonight, while waiting for my ride, I found a warm building to rest in on campus. I think the building is some kind of Race/ Woman studies forum, there were signs that all over the place that said things like 'Stop The Hate, Tolerate', or 'You're Safe Here'. I don't know. But anyway, while I was waiting, I noticed that a lot of older people were gathering and going up the stairs to the same room (one was about 50 and wearing a Little Red Riding Hood costume, just to give you a visual. But she was actually pulling it off pretty well.) More and more people were showing up and I got a couple of looks like 'Why are you down here? Shouldn't you be up there?' I finally realized that this was an AA meeting (Alcoholics Anonymous). Mostly because I heard a girl say 'Hey, is this the AA meeting?' and a man cheerfully reply 'Sure is!'... not because I have amazing insight and can just figure these things out on a dime. I was so close to going upstairs and joining the meeting. I walked past the room once and saw refreshments and appetizers. Maybe next time, at least now I know when they meet.


[When I was walking around the building, I found a little inbox that had magnets on it, so I rearranged them.]


P.s. Go to Hulu. Watch Community, The Office, and 30 Rock. They all have Halloween episodes and they're all incredibly worth it.

Holy hell, that sounded out-of-control creepy at first, but then it turned out to be a bunch of alcoholics!! Silly people, booze is for crack whores and chickenheads.

SPEAKING OF WHICH, can't wait to see you tomorrow! Haha, I didn't mean for that to sounds nearly as bad as it did.

Also: after staring at that magnet array like a deranged perfectionist with too much time on his hands, I noticed that the red hat in the first picture at the top of the frame disappears in the second. Like, goes away.

Did you steal a red hat magnet, Julie? Shame on you.
