high status man candy

Hello cyber world...so much has happened in the last 2 days and I've been SO BUSY...yeah that's a lie. I'm still getting into the whole blogging thang so forgive me if I don't write 7 posts a day (cough JAKE cough)...anyway. So about my weekend.
Friday was Halloween. I was planning on sitting in my house and doing NOTHING (yay!) but I ended up going to Kelsey's halloween party up on Signal. I knew they were going to be drinking and I just really wasn't in the mood to that night, and I had to drive home anyway, so I was just going to go for about an hour and then leave. But when I got there, it was just TOO FUNNY watching Kelsey get drunk. She is literally the definition of "lightweight." So I spent the night. God, I'm so glad I did. Those will make for some great stories to tell at....actually anywhere.
Yesterday, after I left Kelsey's, I drove down the mountain and went to watch the Hooch. It was ironic, since I quit crew this year, but I realized I didn't miss it at all. I was so strange to watch the races and not be anticipating my own...but who freaking cares? I don't have to do that shit anymore! After the Hooch, Emily and I went to the mall to shop for...get ready...THE RAVE! I'll get to that shortly, but first I want to tell a little story about this very strange incident that occured at the mall.
So. Hamilton Place Mall. Don't go there on a Saturday unless you want to encounter a lot of old people who don't know where they're going and walk slowly, middle schoolers who go there on "dates," and scary black guys with diamond earrings. Anyway, Emily and I were standing in the line at the "Japanese" place (I put Japanese in quotes because it's not really Japanese food) and Emily commented about how she wanted to get some type of sauce (I wasn't really listening). There was a man in front of her, and when he heard her say this he started into this converation with her about some kind of sauce (I wasn't really listening). That's fairly normal. But THEN, he was like "Do I know you from somewhere...?" And Emily was like, no, but the guy kept talking. He basically gave us his life story, and talked about how he used to coach for Temple. Oh but wait, IT GETS BETTER. So then he lets loose this little comment that really pissed me off. But before I tell you what he said, I need to give some background.
I'm taking a class this year called History of Civil Rights. I guess it's less about learning the actual history of the civil rights movement and more about learning how people view other people (especially races). My teacher (very abstract person) is a firm believer that race doesn't exist. It sounded stupid and weird to me at first, but I'm starting to look at people in a completely different way.
So. Creepy mall guy. After going on about how he coached the current McCallie linebacker (who even CARES?) he starts talking about the football game against McCallie and MBA that took place the night before. He then said this: "Well, you know, MBA is a really good team. All the boys are white, and they just follow the instructions they are given."
Um, I'm sorry, WHAT did you just say???? How can someone BE this ignorant? That is one of the most racist comments I have ever heard. I literally just glared at him for the rest of the time he was talking until he left. I hope he got the mem. (I intentionally left out the "o" right there.)
Ugh, sorry that was freakishly long...but anyway. The rest of the weekend was overall uneventful, excluding the rave. The Rave was essentially a regular highschool dance thrown by a few seniors. There was literally nothing Rave-like about it other than the techno and seizure-inducing strobe lights...I left early. I wasn't in the mood to partay.
I'll probably write some more tonight, I'm just burnt out right now. I just worked out and burned 234 calories on the eliptical and then went to Starbs and got a grande vanilla bean frapp and gained at least 6 pounds! woohoo!
