I'll bring a camera next time
The snow collects the good with the bad, as can be seen when it melts. This blog is my snow, holding onto my experiences. |

posted by: Aro (reply) post date: 09.12.04 (7:14 am) There are a lot of strange graffiti signs here in Granada (my favorites are some peaceful looking dinosaurs that grace every third building or so on my way to school), and I´m not convinced that most of them aren´t gang related -- why would a gang choose to be represented by a rabbit or a butterfly, for example? There are some that urge social change (my favorite of these is one that has an abstract elderly couple and says "don´t abandon your grandparents!" in Spanish), some that are reflections of the city (drawings of buildings and the Adalucian bull, for example), and of course some that are just vulgarities. but I like grafiti. I would choose to believe that RAIN on the tennis court meant that someone had been there to play tennis, but because the court was wet they couldn´t play, so they wrote down what happened instead. But, that´s just me. (PS I´m glad you made it past those creepy guys! Get someone to walk you home next time!) posted by: SparklingSnow (reply) post date: 09.12.04 (6:11 pm) Reply to: Aro I'm glad you enjoy graffiti- in ceratinly can be intriguing. and you know I can be independent (stuborn) so I don't always want to have someone walk to the U w/ me! and it was still light out- so I don't know if it'd matter what time of day it was. I'd ask you to walk w/ (I know you like libraries- and it's so nice walking together!) me- so will you? (not necessarily back from the U and only when you're able to, unless we walk now like we ran before!) |

I went to the U tonight to read a little- an hour. I wanted to get back before it got too dark (it is downtown here, and there can be some pretty creepy guys). Well, I almost avoided them. I was singing to the latest CD Aaron made me (in honor of 1 year in July) and there are 3 guys (around 40s) ahead of me. I didn't think crossing the street would help, because in a couple blocks, I'd have to cross again anyways). So one has a paper-bag bottle, and they have all been drinking. One drops back and asks if I'm going to 'the thing' tonight. Of course I have no idea what they're talking about, I mean, there was a college (football?) game at the stadium we were right by that got out over an hour previous- - - plus they didn't seem like fans, anyways, I said, "No," and went on my merry way past them, and the others tried getting me to go by them, but I began singing again, turning up the music and walking on the curb so that if they try to grab me, I'll venture into traffic, and someone's sure to help me. I go half a block, see people tailgating at the stadium, turn around, and the guys are nowhere in sight.
