Xixi's my bestest friend

Jul 13, 2005 11:12

Ok, Xixi wanted everyone to update more frequently, so this one's for her.

I met Xixi on the first day of school last August.....

Adventure #1: Orientation evening -
Ditzy RA: "Ok, girls, I want everyone to say their name, where they're from, what their major is, and something interesting about themselves!"
Ren: "I'm Ren, I'm from Alabama, I'm an English major, and I got a tattoo on my back this week."
Xixi: (silently) "No fuckin' way! I just got a tattoo on MY back!"
.....later in the evening, Xixi and Ren begin their adventures as friends by making their first joint cigarette run.

Adventure #2:Rite Aid
Ren: "Is there a drugstore within walking distance?"
Front Desk Dumbass: "Oh, sure, Rite Aid is right around the corner."
Xixi: "Great, thanks."

Turns out Rite Aid is 7 years away. So we walked all the way there in the nasty-ass heat to drop of film and buy crap, and on the way back, we pass a yard sale. The woman running it has less than a full set of teeth, a few psychotic dogs, one trashy-ass porch, a shitty van, and a few cool things. One of the cool things was this massive shag rug.
Ren: "I really wanna buy this, but I don't think we can carry it all the way back to campus."
Xixi: "Maybe she'll give us a ride."
Ren: "Hrm...." (silently) "This chick from Indiana is nuts! What the fuck is wrong with her?" (aloud) "Ok, fine."
So we take a ride from this crazy lady. After climbing into the van, we discover that there's so much crap on the floor and in the doorframe, the door won't entirely close. There's a pop bottle (a SHASTA bottle, no less) crammed in the frame.
(Xixi and Ren look at each other quietly wondering whether or not they're about to be raped and chopped to bits)
So the woman drives us back to Marycrest, asks about our majors, where we're from, etc. When we finally get back to UD, we scramble out, thank her, and hear, "All righty, you kids be safe! And use the protection!"

Adventure #3:Labor Day
About 5 minutes after meeting Xixi, I agreed to go home with her for a weekend. We spent time at her house in Indy and a couple of days at her grandmother's house in Zanesville. My most vivid memories of that weekend are Xixi and I peeing in an empty field near an elementary school, staying out until after 6am, listening to Tatu, waking up to the screeching of that damned bird, and having Nicholas walk in to pee while I was taking a shower (not a problem, just reeeeeally unexpected. I hadn't even really been introduced to the kid yet.)

Stay tuned for further adventures of Xixi and Ren

I love you, chica. I can't wait to see you.
