Story #3: Pay Check Scramble

Posted by Kimberlea Talington in STORY-001 on
Today, my friends and I barely made it out of doing some hard labor. We have a new tradition in our group of friends. When it's someone's birthday, we all pull our money together and go out to eat. So far this plan has worked well...until today.

We took our friend Zack out to lunch for his belated birthday. We deiced that it would be nice of us if we took Zack to applebee's. After a good half an hour of walking, we finally got to the restaurant. We sat, ordered, talked and ate. We had so much fun and actually grew closer. Everything was going great...until the bill showed up.

Perry took the check to see how much we had racked up. It seemed fine, until we looked at her eyes. Evett and I, then took the check and saw what had her so upset. $113 for the food itself, around an $8 tax, PLUS an additional $18.50 tip which equaled to $141.07. We all freaked out, worried that we couldn't pull together the money. We had gotten up all the money we had...and...thankfully, it was enough. I looked back over the bill and we all realized what had happened. We realiezed that we would have had enough if they didn't charge us the extra 18.50. Then on, we decided for Evett's birthday, we were just going to go to Liberty Place and get her food.

A Hard Craving to Fix

Posted by Emma Connell in STORY-001 on
Have you ever had one of those days were you're just craving a certain type of food all day long and you can't rest until you have this food. Well, I have a lot those days. In fact, I had an entire month of this craving. It all started last month. I was in the car, just gazing out the window and taking in the scenery of the Adirondacks mountains when all of a sudden I had an intense urge to eat coconut M&M's.  My mom and I we're just leaving the Adirondacks mountain and had a 4-5 hour drive ahead of us, so I figured my craving would be settled at one of the gas stations we would stop at. After about an hour we pulled in to our first gas station. I rushed in the store, scanning every aisle up and down for my coconut M&M's. To my discouragement, I found none, which wasn't that much of a surprise because they're a new brand of M&M's, but even so it was a dissapointment to me. Another 2-3 hours later we pulled into another gas station, I (yet again) rushed into the store scanning every aisle up and down in hopes I would find my coconut M&M's. However, I was let down again and settled for peanut M&M's instead. We arrived in Philly that night and I immediatley rushed to our convenient store to get my coconut M&M's, but they didn't even have them! So the next day at school, I went across the street to get my coconut M&M's, but they didn't have them either! I was furious. How could these stores not have a food so delicious. Ever since then I have been on the hunt for my coconut M&M's and will not rest until I find and eat them.

SEPTA Bus Conversation

Posted by Rachel Patterson in STORY-001 on
Driver: Did you hear about that new restaurant on Ridge Avenue?
Lady: Naw, which one?
Driver: It's called Soul 2 Sole, the same guy that used to own the one on 4th and South Street.
Lady: Oh really? It was always packed in that place! I remember driving by there!
Me: Yeah, I know what you're talking about. I applied for a job there. The people are pretty nice.
Driver: Yeah, the manager Brian is great.
Lady: Is the food as good as the place on 4th and South?
Me: I think so. (pulls cord for next stop)
Driver: So you said their food is pretty good, right?
Me: Yeah, just expensive. But they have a really nice crew down there...all polite people... and the restaurant is very family-oriented.
Driver: Oh okay, well have a goodnight.
Me: You too.

Me: That's a really spiffy sweater.
Substitute: Thanks! My mom made it for me.
Me: Aw that's great. Does she still make them?
Substitute: No. She is barely living. Shes got alzheimer's. Shes also blind in stuff. Not in good shape.
Me: Damn that's fucked up.
Substitute: (Retells a story) Yeah. She used to make everyone sweaters for Christmas. It would take her a whole year to make them all. I was always the bachelor, so I always got the good ones. Haha. I remember I was at the bar one time and a women came up to me and said "I'll come home with you if you give me that sweater."
Me: Well did you give it to her?!
Substitute: Hell no! I loved that sweater. There was no way she was getting it.

Car Accident misconception.

Posted by Megan Doe in STORY-001 on
Mom: Are you hurt anywhere?
Me: Yeah, just on my jaw and the side of my head. I think I smacked it into Amirah during the crash.
Mom (Ten minutes later): Wait, how did you hit your head on a mirror if you were sitting in the back seat?
Me: MOM! AMIRAH NOT A MIRROR!

Story #2: iTunes Poetry

Posted by Kimberlea Talington in STORY-001 on
Kiss me, for the nights I can't remember
Follow me, To the eternal world beyond the moon (Tsuki no Mukou no Sekai)
Please be mine until the end of time

I'll never smile again, if you leave
Things will never be the same because of you

Why didn't I listen?

Lesson Learned: Live like you're dying, live like there's no tomorrow

Let me hold you a little bit longer because Love is my drug

MOVE ON

Posted by Arthurline Bowen in STORY-001 on
Beautiful single ladies raise it up,

Women like me flaws and all listen,

Don’t lie almost doesn’t count,

Say goodbye before he cheats.

Free yourself move on.

Truth is if this isn’t love

I want to know what love is.

I would rather just stand up,

You are not alone I cam with you,

Miss Independent.

The storm is over take a bow,

Wining women live your life just the way you are.
