I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat

So, have you heard I'm a Professor of Sweetness Studies at Candy Valley University?
My office is Rainbow Hall, room 423. My office hours are when I feel like it. Yep.

Well, not dentistry. The last of Candy Valley's dentists quit a few years ago...apparently having a law that requires all tooth cleanings to be done with high fructose corn syrup instead of toothpaste was "ridiculous" and "a mockery of all things dentistry stands for" or some whiny thing like that.

We apparently have the worst dental health of any city in the nation...the ADA is concerned.

Because the last time I was craving a road trip was back in February/March when I was slacking and falling behind on my schoolwork.
...I'm a bit behind on my schoolwork now, though I have planned out the time to catch up this weekend and I'm nowhere near as irredeemably behind as I was back then.

The strangest things can trigger the "time is real" thoughts in me.
There is a drawing taped to one of the kitchen cabinets, that my sister drew her first week of kindergarten. It's a drawing of her and my mother and it says "My mom likes me." But the newsprint it's on...it's yellow. A dark yellow.
It's a subtle reminder of just how much time has passed since then--I can clearly remember when my mother taped that up there, and now the paper has yellowed to the point that it almost looks as if it were made that way.

Let's see, she's 12 now...2004. It's from 2004.
...Seeing my baby sister turn into an almost-teenager is very strange to me.

I still kinda wonder how the hell it is that I'm an adult. It almost, like, feels wrong to me to be as old as I am.

Neck of some kid, a friend of my sister's. Scrawny-looking thing. Not the most impressive neck I've seen. Today I saw that same neck on some kid at Wendy's.

1995...I lived in Whitehall, Ohio. Me, my parents, my grandmother, my uncle, and a cat with no name all lived in one side of a duplex.
My room was in the finished attic, which was only accessible through the stairs hidden in my parents' closet. I remember they had lots of records on a shelf in the closet, because I saw them stacked there every time I would leave my room. And the record player was part of a stereo that my parents had set up in my room, mainly because they had nowhere else to put it.
Downstairs was the living room. For a while, at least, we used my grandmother's old green TV as our main TV. It wasn't very reliable, and I have a distinct memory of my uncle complaining about it to my mother because the volume randomly increased while he was watching Animaniacs.

I don't know. I can't remember him watching it or mentioning it before or after that.
...Now more memories are coming back. One time my dad tried to buy gas at a nearby Shell station, but the machine wouldn't accept his card. So the clerk called the police, because we all know black men love to steal gas. Then my uncle had to grab enough cash to pay for the gas, then get on his bike and ride up to the gas station, where the police officer apparently reprimanded the clerk for calling the cops over something so stupid.
One time we were on a trip, I had a bad allergic reaction to my aunt's cats so they decided to move me to some other relative's house. Said relative was a devout Catholic and I woke up in a room completely covered with crucifixes and other items of that sort. Kind of unnerved me.
When I was a kid I had a motor-powered water gun but, since I had no friends, I could only go outside and shoot trees and stuff. :(
One time there was a thunderstorm and a tree fell down and broke a table in half. Like, an outdoor table. That we used for outdoor eatings.

When we moved out here, there was a Shell station not too far from the house. (It was the second closest gas station at the time, though closer ones have been built since.) Then a few years later it became an Exxon, and then in 2009 it became a Turkey Hill--even though the Kroger across the street already had a gas station, albeit a very inconveniently located one.

I just can't think of any.
...what sorts of things make up the local economy?
...This is probably BAD.
Or maybe a road movie.
^Where to?

See, I should learn to drive. Then I can do this shit on my own volition!

Since I'm significantly older than both of you, time is even realer for me. Today I had a mental flashback to a neck I saw around 1995 or so.

(They were both Texacos until 2005)
