So. It seems the scouts do leave the hostel but not for long. After a pant-signing (this is where you sign someone's pants so they remember you...just to clarify), we went out for ice-cream. I was plotting to get them to the colosseum but they would't go. Anyhow, they are really fun and I guess I can't even hate because if my mom was in italy watching me right now, I too would have a hard time doing anything.
Anyway, speaking of the girl scouts reminds me of how this Indiana thing is getting kind of creepy. By that I mean that we met ANOTHER group of people from indiana today. They were the biggest bros I've ever met. The first thing they asked as they approaced us was " yo, you guys like to party?!?!?!?" Ummm... yeah. I do brah. What about it? They were trying to hustle me and my friends from Maine (my Maine homies, jaja!) to go to a pub crawl. Just to elaborate, a pub crawl is an organized drinking event where you pay money to get completely wasted with a bunch of other people. You get bar discounts, a t-shirt and in return you forgo remembering any of the experience.
I hated these bros. They were getting paid to invite me to a party. This violates a fundamental element of parties in that the invitation is supposed to be a genuine wish to party with the invitee. These people have commercialized partying. IS NOTHING SACRED!?!?!
FUCK PUBCRAWLS! Do one on your own. Make your own t-shirt with a sharpie. Don't pay for drinking friends. plus those dudes were from indiana. (Shoutout again matty B!)
I will recommend the Pantheon to anyone who has an appreciation for vast open space. It is majestic and huge. You walk in, and there is a giant beam of light cascading in from the oculus in the roof of the church. There are actually seagulls flying around inside of the thing and they really make you realize how huge the space is. Trevi fountain is also great.
Another cool italy thing is the way they do graffiti. EVERYTHING is covered here with some scrawly spray on text as long as it is within reach. However today, I deciphered love messages written by kids in the neighborhood to one another... possibly outside of each other's houses. Using graffiti to communicate and flirt seemed pretty cool and edgily romantic to me.
anyhow, that is all I can remember from the latest day but keep on reading my bullshit and I will keep loving you, whoever you are.
