Miss haps? Perhaps?



I haven't updated in a while, but then again... Who has?

Well so you know, I'm up in Portland right now. It's been fun. We have had quite a bit of miss adventures.

First of all, stranded at Fred Meyer. We were there until 2 am. It was a good bonding experience.

After many tales of being stranded, or lost, or just anything, the best would have to be Saturday.

We in this story is Christine my room mate, Katelyn, a cool girl from Arizona, and myself. Oh and part of the time with the guy named Chris.

First of all, I call Nicko while my friends and I are deciding on plans for the evening. He suggests calling Johnny, I don't know how many of you met Johnny, but he is one of Nicko's friends from SOU. So what do I do? I call Johnny. So he agrees to meet with us at Powell's which is amazing by the way, and we meet him there. Then we go to the Buffalo Exchange, and off to this strange dark restaurant called The Roxy. After "dinner" we go to Pioneer Square (good for people watching) until around 11:30 or so when we decide it might be a good idea to go back to our bus stop. We get there and low and behold our bus has stopped running. This happens all the time to us, we should have seen it coming, but we didn't. So Johnny says that we'll just take a bus to his house and then he'll drive us back to our school.

Well... After an hour of literally running around to find the right bus stop, and Johnny getting harassed by a bum... We finally were on the bus on the way to Johnny's. Now what you might not know about Johnny is his serious issue with ADD. I was completely scared about not getting to the right stop for his house but somehow me managed. We met momma, and we got in the car. Johnny's ADD continues even while driving it turns out. So that was exciting. Then, we ended up driving off the sidewalk thing. It was ridiculous, but ultimately hilarious. Johnny continued to entertain us until around 2. It started to get strenuous when Momma kept calling to ask Johnny if he was all right... You know the whole ADD thing. "Momma's panicking for Johnny." Good stuff.

*tid bit.* Johnny went to a book signing with Chuck P. You know Fight Club and sorts... And he said that Chuck read the short story "Guts" which I posted for you all a while ago aloud. He said that people threw up in the bookstore. So you can either
look at as A. he is just a really sick guy... Or B. His writing is so enthralling he got his listeners to physically respond.

Hey Jess, it sounds exciting living in Portland. I'd like to live in a city for a while sometime. I was noticing this 'momma' thing a lot of people now say. It's pretty odd. It almost reminds me of Orwell's Big Brother or something. Anyway...
