I was going to be visiting Bethany in Ithaca. I had seen her and her friend at a presentation a few days earlier, and she had invited me. I was pretty nervous about it - mainly, where would I sleep and should I bring my own food?
When I got to her house (a punk mansion), she wasn't there. I met a few of her house mates - they were all young college students who seemed interesting. I explored the house and realized it was right on Cayuga Lake and the waves were crashing into a cliff the house was up on. Bethany came home and we talked for a short while before I left to go to the movies by myself. It was a 72 minute film that was supposed to be worth every minute. Before leaving, I figured I better order a pizza so I'd have something to eat later. I called Pontillo's and then left for the movie. The theater was exactly like Webster Loews. After the movie, I looked up Pontillo's in the phone book in the lobby and then started driving. Ithaca had become a thriving metropolis within 72 minutes. I had no problem navigating though and wasn't even anxious at all.
Next thing I knew I was at my parent's house with mom and Caitlin. Mom had a brand new comics anthology, and as we flipped through, I saw that my mundane saga (see above) had been chosen and converted into a comic! I was very proud.
