   I figured it was high time to add an entry. I was reading my old entries about things I had almost entirely forgotten about, and I realized: it's sad to forget stuff. So here I am. Last weekend Brent and I headed up to Washington Island just to get away for the weekend. It's a beautiful little island. We enjoyed the creepy and utterly amazing sound of NO CARS, and managed to find vegan food thanks to my new iPhone. (Thanks, Apple!) I'm still loving my job. I never thought I'd look forward to going to work, but I do. I love my co-workers, love my clients, love the fact that I wear blue jeans and flip flops to work every day, and I drink tea from Teavana on my lunch break. A few weeks ago, Milwaukee hosted Juneteenth day-- a celebration of the day the slaves were freed. Unfortunately, it was the same evening Brent and I decided to head up to Bd's for some Mongolian BBQ dinner. On the way there, the main street (MLK, fittingly) was blocked, so we had to take a side street. It was completely backed up. We made a turn away from all of the foot traffic leaving the parade. We quickly realized our error, when, from behind the bus in front of us, a huge swarm of people (mostly teens) came up to our car and starting kicking the crap out of it and attempted to open our doors while yelling "fuck you, stupid white bitch!" They opened Brent's door but he quickly closed it. We forced our way through the crowd and got away, and we heard some girl on the side of the road say, "look what they did to their car!" Later, we saw it on the news, and the guy behind us had been pulled from his car and kicked in the head multiple times and severely injured. Well, we made it to Bd's, only to discover our car was covered in huge dents and dirty shoe marks. The estimate I got for repairs was over $1000. sigh. | ||||||
