Gangstas Everywhere!

On our walk home from school today, R was telling me about a guy, Ryan, in her class. She was telling him about her babysitter (moi) and he replies, "You have a babysitter??" As if he's too cool to have a babysitter. Basically he was making fun of R, and he has apparently called her some bad words before. R goes on to talk about Ryan:

R: "Anyway... He thinks he's gangsta."
Amy: *snickers* ... "What do you mean?"
R: "Well he just talks like he's a gangsta!"
Amy: "What does he say?"
R: "He talks bad. He says bad words!"

Gangsta! Speaking of which, I saw quite the 'gangsta' this weekend. I walk into the liquor store alone, and the first thing I see is this short man standing in line - looking very 'gangsta'! I see his head - dreadlocks. His torso is covered by a football jersey and he's sporting some very baggy jeans. My eyes are drawn to his little feet... he's wearing boots... not just any boots... kid's winter boots... BUT not just ANY kid's winter boots... SPIDERMAN KID'S WINTER BOOTS!!! I wanted to burst out laughing right then, but I couldn't cus I was alone and I'd look even more foolish than this guy did. So I held it in... it was hard, believe me. But when I got to Britt's place I burst.. and then told my story, and it was great.

Another odd encounter this weekend. I was walking up Quinpool Road and, out of nowhere I hear this big, deep, evil laugh. MUUHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!! I look around to find these two people, probably my age and they're sitting in their car with the window down, playing this laugh on the stereo and struggling to hold back laughter. I have a little giggle, continue to walk on my merry way, and notice that the continue to do the same thing over and over again as people pass by. They were clearly looking for some reactions. Very clever idea.

Needless to say, it was a great weekend. Crystal's Birthday outting AND an 80s/90s party! The fun was endless!
