Skinned Knees & Gapped Blogs.

I went to Temple University in northern Philadelphia today. It was nice getting out of school and taking a trip with my Communications class peers. It's in a very poverty-stricken area, and my friend Kim was shocked about the homeless people and living conditions. We took a tour around the area with nice college student named Dave, who looked just like the guy from the band Say Anything. He was cool. The college is pretty nice. It's mostly communications and Health stuff, but we just toured the Communications and Media Studies areas. This one speaker had a strange accent, so i asked him where he was from, and he told me to guess. I already could tell, and i guessed that he was Canadian. And he was! It was that weird-sounding accent on the "OH" sound. We talked about YouTube and the "Scary Maze Game" reaction videos in the computer lab with Dave. He went around the room asking us if we did or did not care about the kid getting shocked and scared to tears. When he got to me, i said, "Well, i don't care about the kid getting scared because i've been scared many times in my life, and i turned out great." I got the whole class to laugh. Then we saw these shelves that you could roll closer to and further away from eachother with these wheels on the side of them. They had really old movies and DVDs to checkout. There was also an area with really old books, including a 1477 Bible. I had a cheesesteak and cheese fries from a foreign vendor. She was taking orders from everyone at a time! I fed a squirrel a fry. I've never been so close to one of those beautiful creatures. So i had a nice trip to Temple. And there is only 13 days of school left. Hurray. I am growing into a band that writes songs mostly about heartbreaks and sad love stories named Dear and the Headlights. I used to like only three songs, but now i am hearing more and liking more. My brother loves them, and he introduced them to me. I went on a dangerous adventure of massive proportions with Colton yesterday, climbing crazy metal structures and junk. I love the song "Two Dancers" by Wild Beasts. Oh, wonderfulness. My dad gets out of the hospital today. My brother is out with friends. Me stuck here.
