Wow, I feel like I'm in a real college town!

First I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for wishing me a happy *gulp* thirtieth birthday. It made me feel really special to see everyone come out of the woodwork to wish me well. Yay.
Today I'm posting from this new place next to campus. Across from the auditorium in fact. It's a cute little coffee house. With wireless internet! how awesome is that? Totally. That's how awesome it is.
Did I mention the wireless was free? F yeah it is!
I feel like I'm in a real college town now, what with sitting in a coffee house blogging, no less.
And even the music in here is good. Playing right now? The Blower's Daughter by Damien Rice.
However, to the 15 other patrons in this establishment? I would like to point out that I'm the coolest person in here. Yes, even you Emo-boy with the tragically hip black-rimmed glasses. I'm cooler than you. Why? Because I'm using a Mac, and not one of those tacky thinkpads like you're using, that's why. Don't give me that look, girl in the corner! Just because you put that cool stripey front on the lid of your Dell doesn't make you better than me! Do you not see how the Apple logo on this thing lights up? F yeah, you do. That makes me cooler than you. Now get back to work on that powerpoint for your sorority.
Really though, this place is nice. Makes me wish they were here when I was a student. Still, you can't beat spending all your free time in the music building. Coffee and sandwiches would have been good, though.
Oh wow. The gayest boy in Kingsville just walked in here. Seriously, he makes RuPaul look manly. He's managed to say the word ghetto about 25 times in less than two minutes. Hey, gay boy, wanna know what's ghetto? Get out your compact and look in the mirror. You're ghetto. The fact that you walked into this coffee house and you made the entire establishment smell like Tommy only validates my point. Think about that. Conversely, the blonde highlights in your BLACK hair? Also ghetto. And those glasses? Only look good on J. Lo. And they make her look ghetto. *sigh* Also, please stop talking. You're taking all the 's's from the room. Good God.
Oh no, now gay boy is offering to help girl in the corner with her powerpoint. He just said--I wish I were making this up--"I can help you make it supercute."
This is me dying.
I have to go now. I can't take this.
But go to Perks. It's totally fab. When the gay boy isn't in here telling you how ghetto everything is, and how supercute everything that isn't ghetto is.
The strangest thing I've ever seen.

And it's not an elephant flying.
Let me set the scene: it's Saturday (9/9) afternoon at approximately 3:30 p.m. and my dad,wicked stepmother and brother Nut are visiting. We had lunch, went to the beach for a while and then came back to my apartment after it started to rain.
I had the blinds to my apartment open because it was really dark outside and there was no light coming into my living room. Just to clarify, my big living room window overlooks an apparently very scenic parking lot as you, gentle reader are about to find out.
My wicked stepmother is looking out the window while my father and I talk about who knows what; she notices a young man walking in the rain with no shirt and just a pair of blue boardshorts walking through the lot. The guy walks toward the covered parking area (where Ronessa stays) and hangs right under the covered parking right next to Ronessa.
This dude turns and faces away from my building and just stands there. Kind of weird, but no big whoop, right? Wicked stepmother says "I think he's peeing next to your car."
Incredulous to this, I just say "no way" because really? What grown man pees outside in the middle of the afternoon (Batman, you're a country boy, so any answer you give is automatically voided. I know how you North Texans are!), in the RAIN no less?
Well, I take a peek out the window, and sure enough, the guy is standing in the position any male would take when relieving himself. But I still don't buy it. It's raining, it's broad daylight, it's in a very public place.
And then I saw it.
The tell-tale puddle of liquid ever-growing in between his slightly spread legs.
He WAS peeing next to Ronessa!
I was shocked. I'd never seen such a thing. This guy, maybe 25, was peeing in a parking lot, in the rain, in the middle of the afternoon.
Clearly he was drunk or high. Possibly both.
So stunned was I, that I couldn't muster myself to move and be like "bitch, stop peeing next to Ronessa." Luckily my father wasn't bothered by that.
Dad: [Running out the front door] HEY! What the hell are you doing peeing on my car???
Public Pee Guy: [turning around, STILL PEEING] Aww, hey bro, I'm sorry 'bout that man
[Dad glares]
[Public Pee Guy puts his weener in his shorts--not shaking to get that last drop off--zips up and walks away]
It definitely ranks up there on my surreal experiences list. I'd lived in an apartment complex populated almost exclusively by college students before, and I can pretty safely say I've NEVER seen anyone pee next to a car during the day. I've seen some crazy ass shit while in college (Ask me sometime about the time my roommate lit a cigarette off a candle located in the crevasse of a stripper, sometime. Or maybe ask about that spring break party at the afforementioned college apartments where they were tipping a keg over the balcony and people would just stand under it receiving Beer From Heaven.) Frankly, I think I can assuredly say I've never seen anyone pee outside during the day, that wasn't in the context of a camping trip. Seriously, what was this guy thinking?
I had to ask Rollermog what he thought of the whole thing
Ren: ... and then my dad glared at him and he walked away.
Rollermog: When he turned around, did you see his penis?
Ren: Well, yeah. He was still peeing.
Rollermog: Was it nice? Was he cute?
Well, yeah. I mean, I guess. I really wasn't paying attention to his cock since he was urinating near my car.
Rollermog: [sighs loudly] Have I taught you nothing? What the f' Ren, GAH.
I should take a moment here and say that this is pretty much the response I got from all my friends when I told them the story of how Ronessa got peed next to.
When I got back to work on Monday, I told everyone in the office. They were all thouroughly amused. And you By far the best part of the story for them was where Public Pee Guy calls my father "bro." They all found that part amuzing. Not the peeing in public. Or the fact that he just walked away after merely tucking his dick in his shorts, no shake or anything (I suppose in his defense, it was raining outside). They thought it hilarious when Public Pee Guy calls my dad bro. Granted, it is funny. But is it really any more funny than the fact that he's taking a leak in the rain in the afternoon in a PARKING LOT.
If you ask me, it's not funnier than that.
I guess this is just one more sign that maybe it's time to move to a new apartment complex? If a random guy pees next to and possibly ON your car, it's probably time to pack it in and move, isn't it?
