Maycomb aka my small town....

Hi!

Well, I started re-reading "To Kill A Mockingbird" (if I said I read "The Old Man and The Sea" sorry. It was okay, not my favourite, but good) and the small town reminds me a lot of my small town. There are strange people like Boo Radley.

There was a guy named Victor who rode his bike around town and was fed by the town. He lived in a shack, didn't have running water, but had cable. How he could afford those things, I never knew. When he died, the neighbors of each of his house inherited whatever part was on their side. They, of course, tore it down.

There have been other strange men. Some, lived in their cars, other lived in trailers. Sadly, I know who they are and even friends with their relatives.

But anyway, living in a small town has its advantages and disadvantages  Some are the same thing: knowing the person. Sometimes, there's some things you don't want to know about them.


Sometimes, you are the target of people's wrath or harassment  but overall, I am not bug too much, since you know, people know my parents :)

There is some but not a lot of racism. People like to joke about the Middle Eastern who own the gas station near me but besides that, it's not like the South back in the 60's.


What else? Work was everlasting crazy yesterday! My co-worker, he cannot come in today because of the snow, so I work a late shift. The latest I worked since before I left school.

I cannot believe school starts in 8 days! At first, I thought break was slow but as it gets closer to school, it feels like it's going really fast.

One of the things I look forward to the MOST is not being bugged so much by my parents. Age is just a number in my house; they do drive me crazy though. When I am here, I am expected to fold and put the wash away, but when I am gone, they take the wash from the basket!

Anyway, I am off to take the dog in the cold (he loves snow) and read "To Kill a Mockingbird" till work.

Okay, bye!

Faith.
