I live about 45 minutes out of Sacramento in this tiny little town called Shingle Springs, and I have figured that Sacramento is the Capitol of weird. Im sure that everytime I go down there to visit something strange happens.

I can't remember all the things that I have seen, but here is some of them. I saw a Squirrel bite thru a kids hand webbing. I have been shot at. My neighbor at the time went insane, then he tied up his wife and boarded up his house to "protect his family." What from, I have no idea. And don't even get me started with the whole Gray Davis recall. There is more, but today topped the pile. Today something happened that proved my point.

I was visiting my Grandma (who lives in Sacramento) when I needed to stop for gas. As I waited, a big red truck drove by and caught my eye. It stopped at a stop light. Then I noticed that driving the big red truck was a clown.

YES THATS RIGHT, A CLOWN. and then to make it worst he started to check his makeup. Then I kinda blanked out. For a few minutes sound, color and feelings had all blended together. Then I snapped back and he had left. I was left there with the image of the Clown in a big red truck checking his makeup.

Sacramento is weird. I was going to move there when I moved away from here, but after today, I have seriouly changing my mind.

Acually he shot in my general direction, not really at me.

Yeah I know what you mean. But there's always the Arden Fair mall. That place is always fun :rolleyes

OMG OMG OMG THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE ON THIS BOARD IN THE SACTO AREA OMG OMG OMG.

I've heard of Shingle Springs but I have no fucking idea where it is. Is it in the foothills by Placerville or something? I tend to go more into the North bay area for kicks instead of Sacto, but I do plan on going thrifting there some weekend soon. Hmmm...anyway, the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me in Sacto is when my friend rear-ended some guy, not really weird, but just memorable. Someone tried to sell me drugs for the first time there too. But I have to agree with Jixby, Sacto is more boring than anything. Personally I find Davis or Vacaville way weirder. OMG, there should be a Mockmeet at Arden fair! We can go to the hello kitty store and then have dinner at the Olive Garden! YAY!

But you do shop regularly at the hello kitty store? Right? If people actually came to Sacramento I would take them to a good resturant like The Three Sisters in downtown.

A guy with hair like melted cement tried to sell me heroin in a public bathroom in Athens and I told him sure one moment and then I made like I checked for money and I told him I'm short on cash but I'm good for my word and he said it's okay only paying customers and I left.

I like living on the edge :(

dont come to Shingle Springs if you think Sacto is boring. Were this shitty little town that sells cars on your way to tahoe. We got nothing in terms of shopping.

After the hello kitty store we could hit spencers gifts then go to the food court.

And dont forget to shop at "Torrid"

Funny story i acually found a jacket that looked really good on me at Torrid. it looked good on a skinny guy and was made for a fat girl.
