The Vampire Walks the Streets of Ellensburg

So last night I walked ALL over the CWU campus. Everywhere. All over. I walked and walked and walked until I think I was even confused as to which direction my condo was. When I got home I watched some episodes of TV shows (The Office, Community, True Blood, IASI Philly), read some articles for classes, and still wasn't even remotely tired.

Fast forward. It's now 7 AM. So I decide to walk up 18th Ave in a direction I haven't gone before. I feel as if I'm being chased by a massive hoard of CWU ROTC kids in their full short-shorts running get-up.

I take a certain amount of pleasure in the fact that I am choosing to walk, at my leisure, at this time of morning, and they are not (choosing to run, not at their leisure). But... good for them.

Apparently, cows in Ellensburg receive very little human attention. Other than having a number (stapled?) on their ear, there is no evidence that these cows have ever encountered a human before. Or... they ARE just that stupid. Do you ever feel like EVERYONE is looking at you? Welcome to the world of a curious human in the midst of Ellensburg cows.

Cows finally Clustered Around.

Then on the way home I was amused to see that Regal St and King Pl intersect.
Of course they do! (Coincidentally, so does Queen Pl).

Wow! You, up at the crack of dawn? Are you sure you didn't just stay up all night? You should've just started running with the ROTC group, to see if they would chase you away with sticks. (Being a vampire)

Oh. I see. You did stay up all night. See how well I know you?

Joe said...

Wait... where do you get that I stayed up all night?

I would have been racing to find my gun and silver bullets if I had seen you out at dawn, no doubt.
