A Big Dose of Vitamin "D"...

i live a pretty interesting life...but yesterday topped out pretty high on the interesting scale. d and i were doing our usual wednesday gig...lots of running around doing errands. we caught an eyeful (think drag queen and posse)...and an earful (thanks to the little gay boy at mc donald's) during our travels.

it started out with our diabetes education class in southport...we were late (as usual) because we weren't paying attention to the time. class starts promptly at 1:30...we rolled in about 10 mins til 2. (not a seat was left...no table...we had to sit in chairs in the back and write on our laps) oh well...at least the class "diabetic overachiever" (he always monopolizes the instructor's time after class is over and we never get the chance to ask questions) came in after us. he sports a goatee-type thing that runs all the way down his stomach. he binds it with little rubber bands to seperate it into sections...much like you'd see in the intestines with the sphincters that cause peristalsis. (at least that is what it looked like to me. i'm currently taking biology and our last chapter just dealt with the digestive system. what i don't get, though, is how i nearly failed my midterm, yet i know all about sphincters...how queer)

so, 3:30 comes around and we leave our class with a little more knowledge than we had originally. on our way home, we drive through homecroft. we spot a golf cart fully decked out with colts attire and two young guys waiting on a side street to pull out into traffic. we are mildly entertained at the sight and laugh about it in the car.

we are now homeward bound. just as we're pulling up to our apartment building on college ave, we...no lie...spot a modern day cowboy, on a white horse, galloping full-speed down college towards downtown. what. the. fuck. he was fully decked out in cowboy attire...ten-gallon hat, included. once again...what...the...fuck?!

after running by the house, we headed back out to do our weekly shopping. first, though, we drive-thru the mcd's on the corner of meridian and 16th. we are serviced by a friendly lil fagboy who informs us that although he has to be indoors all day, at least he is getting a good dose of vitamin d through the window...which, according to him..."vitamin "d" is the only vitamin i don't mind taking". wow...i really feel like i know a lil too much about you, dude.

next, we run by d's brother's apartment. upon leaving, we spot children out in droves. i literally mean between 40-50 of them just milling around the parking lot. it was like driving through a herd of sheep. d had to keep beeping the horn so they would part and let us through. this may not sound as exciting as the urban cowboy or vitamin d boy...but have you ever seen a herd of small children? it's scary. they are like clowns to us. *shudders*

so, after leaving joe's apartment, we are driving down lynhurst and lo and behold...there is another golf cart! this time, it's parked by the side of the road and two old men are drinking coffee and watching traffic go by. i really doubt they had any intention of pulling out onto the road. they were just enjoying the day...in a golf cart...on the side of the road.

finally, we've made it to wal-mart. i get my eyebrows threaded and then we have dinner at subway. if you don't know d, you don't know how much she enjoys people watching. our wal-mart always has interesting characters to watch. (i especially like titi the cashier-phonetically that is teetee-and the cashier who wears a wig) on this day...we were blessed with the presence of an over-the-top drag queen and her entourage of gayboys. she was wearing...what appeared to be...an argyle sock with the toe cut off on her right arm and a leather glove on her left hand. she was also wearing sunglasses, even though it was 8p.

sensory overload.
