Our young adventurer travels to a distant mall to
find love, danger, and none of the above but a heartless wench.
So yet again the abstract is kind of misleading.
I was actually only going to Coralville mall because it is about half way
between Dubuque and Pella. Pella is where my Grandfather lives (hereby referred
to as Opa Walt) and so the Coral Ridge mall is a convenient meeting place. Well
my Opa Walt is great, but his wife can be a bit annoying and a bit boring. Most
of the time I was hopping for an escape to present itself. Basically I was
hopping to notice a friend that lives in Iowa City to show up so I could spend
time with them. Damn it Matt, Mike and Keegan. WHERE THE HELL WHERE YOU?
Despite my hopes the exact opposite happened, instead of seeing just one person
that I knew might show up by chance, I saw 2 people that I didn’t know might
show up that I would have rather not
met.
To be honest, one was ok, the other was the horror. To explain the two people I saw were 1) Stefan the RA from Freeman and 2) our good friend the Oak Elm Vegan. She for those who don’t know, is this horrible girl that I have encountered at the RCA assembly meetings that I sometime must attend as a BLFFN exec member. She asks very stupid questions, talks very slow (Forest Gump slow), is annoyingly Vegan (I’m ok with Vegans, sort of, but no those who go out of their way to shove it down your throats that they are vegan), and is a former sorority girl that really needs to go back to where she belongs. It makes me think of the scene in Field of Dreams when James Earl Jones’s character says to Keven Cosner’s “Oh… you’re from the ’60s? WELL GET OUT! Go back from where you came! Get back while you still can! Peace, love dope! *peace sign, slams door*”
Anyways, she is at Penara where, was waiting in line to get desert for my Mom and myself. When I notice Stefan walking by and later getting in line behind me. Then I notice vegan girl! She was standing at the counter in another line and complaining about something. Either it was something very minor and she was making a big deal out of nothing, or the server had met her before, because the server’s face was disgusted. Not your normal disgusted but the disgusted of “How can this be happening? What an (idiot, jerk, ass, you choose)!” She then looks at me and then for a second it looks like she might recognise me, then she shakes her head, and gets a confused look or her face. No joke, she was spacing out, right there in Penara. Like I James E. Jones said “Go back from where you came! Get back while you still can!”
