#2 - As we walked out the door at 11:55 to make it to 7-11 by midnight so Justin can start the ball rolling early, we could hear in the distance the sound of a train blowing it's whistle. We suddenly dashed to the car and hopped in, hoping to outrun the train so we didn't have to wait ten minutes and be late for Justin's first (legal) beer. The car sped down the road, and we quickly caught on that we weren't gonna make it (well, the railroad lights and the bar that comes down was the real tell), so we took a sharp right on 1st and Justin tore into the road in his Mazda RX7. We took a left at the next stoplight, and as we passed over the traintracks, we could see the train a little ways down puffing steam and blaring on it's horn. It was so radical - the first time I outran a train. Talk about badass.
#3 - I had a $2 scratch-it that I sniped from Heidi and got some nachos with it at 7-11. Not only were the nachos delicious, I also had a great time walking there and listening to Switchfoot. Now, I know Switchfoot is supposedly a Christian band, but let me tell you, they're also a Sunny Day band. Like, their songs fit really well into any sunny day, and especially while taking a walk. Songs that lyricize about adding to the noise, and wanting life to be more than fine. It really stirs my wok, listening to some of that.
