Editing

is amazing. I deleted my last/ first post mainly because it was mean and whinny. I had a crappy weekend two weeks ago- that pretty much wraps it up.  It involved hospital trips, betrayal, and other peoples' melt downs...


This weekend was a memory maker. Me and a friend ended up in Dorchester, Mass. Thanks to my final Intro to Community Sociology paper I am aware of the fact that Dorchester has the fastest growing gang violence scene in the country. My friend and I might as well have stamped rich white college girls across are foreheads. We were on our way to Target, which ended up being a hour long trip.  The highlight of the trip was when we met a couple of outstanding men in an abandoned auto complex, they were chilling in a broken down car. One looked at us and said "Happy Valentines Day girls, you look like sweeties." I naturally said " Thanks".... they proceeded to tell us that they had something I could suck on for Valentines Day. It was awkward. We picked up our pace and eventually got to Target.  My friend likes to tell everyone my story...she is jealous because we had a bet going about who could pick up more potential Valentines. It was 1-0 Natalie. She argues that almost being raped doesn't count. There were no prior rules.


In other news, to many people Target is trashy! This was a sad realization to me. I love Target. I buy popcorn and Icees and generally enjoy my time there. However in some communities Target is for ghetto people and you don't admit you shop there unless you want to be judged.  Just a Heads up!

  1. First of all, I love this. Your title rocks and this made me laugh which is good because I had a crappy day! Now I'm afraid my last post was too whiny, which is apparently bad. Anyway good luck and welcome!
