Baltimore is scary
Where to begin... The evening started well. I went to a movie with some friends. We saw Look at Me (yes, yes, it is French and has subtitles) and it was FANTASTIC. I laughed and laughed, and the the man behind me who snorted did kinda make the "frenchness" 3D. ;)
We left the theater, and while at a stoplight, we got hit on by a car of guys, who I'd like to point out were probably undergrads and thus too young for us...hehehe...Oh yeah, and 2 of us are engaged and the other 2 are already in relationships. So, we're laughing pretty hard, since we handled the "being hit on" pretty nerdily.
We're driving along, about a block and a half from home, when I look out my window and notice there's a kid reaching back like he's gonna throw something and then Bam!, something hits the windshield. The windshield is pretty cracked and there are some glass shards in the car. We pull over at the security guard booth (about a block and a half) and he was...less than helpful. Essentially he tells us he's here to protect the hospital, not the med students, but he will call the cops for us. Eventually a police officer arrives, and I feel pretty bad for this guy. He's been up for 40 hrs or so already and he's been pretty jaded by Baltimore (not being from here originally). Anyway, since we're girls and this is what we do, we were joking about going to find those boys and "spanking them" (they were probably between 10-15 yrs old). However, as the officer was kind to point out, had we stopped, they would have killed us...or worse, since most of the kids in this area of Baltimore carry firearms. :S He then told us not to drive here after dark...to which we had to respond, "but we live here! We were just trying to go home..." So, at the end of the evening I've learned several things:
1) Baltimore is scary
2) If this is the worst thing that ever happens, then we should count ourselves lucky
3) Baltimore is scary
and 4) I would like to point out that he did confirm my suspicion that the ice cream trucks sell drugs. Man, it's great to be right...

I can attest to the fact that Clarissa totally called those ice cream trucks being drugged up.
