Irving is a dry town that is just a few miles from my work. I think a lot of young people live there because it is just a few minutes from work, relatively inexpensive, but then have to drive 10 + miles to get liquor.
Tonight, my carpool and I went to Sports Authority because he needed to get his tennis racket restrung. We were in the weirdest, most desolate strip mall with a gigantic parking lot. I think we were the only customers in this huge warehouse of a store.
Afterwards, we were trying to make it back on the highway but the road was leading us away from where we needed to go. Also, we were in an area that was surrounded with mega churches. We couldn't stop driving in circles!
After several attempts, we finally made it on the right road, and all of a sudden, a little boy wearing all black runs across the highway out of nowhere!! That was really freaking weird. He didn't even stop when he saw us - he just kept right on running through. Maybe he was headed to the megachurch for solace.
We were talkiing how f-ing weird that boy was when we drove through this massive puddle (it hadn't rained in weeks) and the water sprayed all over the car. The five minutes in Irving freaked the two of us out and we hoped we would never have to go there again.

The USA elected Barack Obama as our new president!!! I could not stop crying (with joy) throughout his acceptance speech. I have never been this emotional about politics in my life!
The downer the following morning was finding out that Prop 8 in CA passed, by quite a large margin. WTF?! even my parents, who are regular church goers, thought this was a ridiculous waste of time and money (mormon churches poured $27 million in advertising in support of the bill because they were afraid of gay teachers corrupting our children).
