I'm a Creep


People use words in different ways around here than they did in good ole Boise City. 'Bro' does not mean a close male friend here. When you're called a bro at Tulane it's an insult. Bro deals with a very specific kind of dude. "Backwards fitted caps are bro," was how one guy tried to explain it to me.

Another word that I was unfamiliar with is 'creeping,' and all of its forms. Anytime someone is on facebook they're creeping. If you do something kind of awkward you're a creeper. My roommate admits to "creepin' on facebook" for many hours a day.

Some people are "master creepers." They can find out all about a person just by using the internet. Some of my bros (ha) have gone to elaborate measures to find out things about girls. Some go so far as to get on blackboard, a site that has information about the classes you're in, look up the class rosters, look up all the girls in the class on facebook, and then add the hottest ones so that they may someday have a real life conversation with them. I don't know, maybe they'll meet they're soulmate that way, but it seems a little creepy.

Yesterday at breakfast I saw a pretty girl sitting by herself and I went and talked to her. I had an actual conversation and I didn't have to spend hours coming up with elaborate ways to get to know her without actually meeting her.

I keep it real.

  1. I love you Ross! You are the greatest person on the planet. Keep on keeping it real. I talked to Tracy this morning and like you sitting with the girl sitting alone, he asked the cleaning lady that arrived at the house he is house-sitting at Has anyone told you that you look GREAT today? She said well, no, he said Well you do! I love my nice normal peeps.

  3. Mom made Skyler put her creepy, smelly, holy socks on Lucky's pig and bear. Lucky is a bit chagrined by the turn of events. However, she thinks it all smells wonderful!
