Oh, re: my freshman dorm hell - there's a positive side I have to share.
After I transferred to UW-Madison, I did some writing for
The Daily Cardinal,
one of the campus papers. One Pride Week, I wrote an article about my dorm hell, the gist of which was how homophobia hurts straight people too. After it came out, several guys I knew thanked me and told me that similar things had happened to them too.
And then years later I put some of my writings for the Cardinal up on a web page. A woman I knew online showed the article to her shrink. He then showed it to another patient of his who had a gay son. The patient with the gay son really liked my article - she said how she never understood homophobia and what her son went through until she read it, and it really helped her come to terms with her son being gay.
So when I think of the hell I went through in the dorm, I also think of the people I helped by telling the story....
If you are looking to buy a car and want to make an impression with the family at Easter.
Heh. I was just at that museum a year ago. That car wasn't there, but the Batmobile was, as well as the Dukes of Hazard car and a bunch of other cool Hollywood cars.

I always knew running was dangerous.
Myles Standish all four years. Various rooms over the years, though I had a point room senior year (class of '88).
I think we've talked about this before. We had a two year overlap; I was class of '90. I was at Shelton 2 years and then moved to a house in Brookline around the corner from (among other things) T. Anthony's. $1 Slice Pizza!

Whoa, some crazy comments on that story. (As per usual for the internet.)

Wrod. I'm both reassured and dismayed that the whackaloons exist in other towns, not just my own. But it does bear out the "never read the comments on the news stories" rule I try to keep to.

You're right we have, because I remember the T. Anthony's detail. I also lived around the corner and a block away from there for 9 years (Naples road) starting in '89.
