Hmm...first post from the land of the Amish, potholes and Starlite Diner...
...yes, I am referring to none other then the infamous land of York, Pennsylvania. I won't lie. It's good to be back, my brain is slowly degenerating to the point where I'm just at functioning level and that would make me happy, but true emotions are forbidden in the land of I-don't-care-about-anything-but-getting-a-job-and-relaxing.
...yes, it's also true that I miss the District but summer's looking good and I'm excited to meet up w/ some of the YCers. However...I'd just like to point out something that I think is incredibly important...
...today I went to the Galleria to buy a new pair of flip flops (damn you Nike! straight to hell with you!! YOU DIED ON ME AFTER ONLY A YEAR OF HARDCORE USAGE! That's completely unacceptable. Your predecessors lasted at least 2 years before the dog destroyed them!) At any rate...I went to the Galleria to buy flip flops and exchange a skirt that had a stain on it. As I was wandering around the Gap (because sadly, it eats my soul) I took note of the manequins (sp?). Have you figured out what I realized yet? C'mon, you're a smarter bunch than that...
...ok, drum roll please...
...NONE OF THE COLLARS OF THE MANEQUINS WERE POPPED!!! Not a single one. Furthermore at this exact moment I also realized that I had not seen a single popped collar since I returned home. I did not entirely know what to do with myself, so I just gawked at one of the fake-polo-shirt wearing manequins for a while before doing a little dance.
Now, you may ask, did the lack of popped collars actually merit the little dance? Well, probably not...but, combined with the realization that I have yet to see an iPod while in York? Yes. That DEFINITELY merited a serious little dance.
MWAHAHA!!!!
So...while York may not be the vortex of culture on the east coast...I think it's safe to say that at times its refreshing to be away from mainstream America...
...and there's the added bonus of the absolutely beautiful stars...and the fresh air...and the silence...

Now now, there is a culture, in an uncultured, frugal, hickish sort of way. There are popped collars unfortunately but a lot less of them. Oops if my orig comment appeared as well, I got an error messagfe though.
Don't diss starbucks!! unless you mean people who are constantly holding a starbucks cup, that is. Thank God for the Shrewsbury starbucks... somewhere to go, and you can stay for 2 hours without getting kicked out. The culture of york county is quite an interesting thing.
