I just got back from Michigan..
I spent the last couple days celebrating x-mas with them. It was the only time we could all get together.
highlights of the trip:
driving my sisters minivan with a soccer ball sticker covering the back window
going to Meijer by her house that was full of rednecks... they are funny creatures.
seeing my neice who is 13 wearing heavey eye makeup and looking pretty punkish.. I was proud. I had a shirt made for her that said DORK on it.. she loved it...
driving with my father thinking that I was going to get killed because he can't drive without listening to his Bob and Tom tapes at a high volume.. the man is way too hard of hearing..
talking to the lady next to me on the Amtrak saying she heard that Chicago has a huge rat problem and that gangs rule the city. lmao.. I loved talking to her.. she was way clueless.
then I got home and went shopping... bought a new pair of pinstripe pants and some stupid black shirt that cost too much. Then off to Z Gallery and I bought some new accessories for the house.
I'm sure you're bored with this by now..
so I'm done

People can be so paranoid about the city. I have a cousin that lives in the suburbs who refuses to visit because he thinks I live in a ghetto. He's told the rest of my family all sorts of ridiculous stories about Pilsen, scared my grandmother half to death. And I've seen more rats in the Loop than anywhere else.

I see rats in the subway a lot. Giant rats, and in the neighborhood around 47th and Damen there are HUGE rats, like the size of small dogs. I was helping my friend move some time ago, and we moved an old organ that he had in his garage, and a rat came out and ran across my shoes, i swear to god that damn thing brushed up against my knees it was so big.
