My mother has always told me that nothing good happens after dark, I'm here to tell you... she's right. I found myself, like many college students this time of year, pulling an all nighter. With projects and papers piled up there was no chance of sleep coming my way. I made myself a large pot of coffee (thanks to my 12 cup coffee pot I always seem to have just enough) Now, in a dorm things happen after the doors close at night. If you haven't lived in a dorm before then you, my friend, are missing out. As the words flowed out of my mind and onto the page in front of me the never ending delouse of coffee I was ingesting flowed through me until I was inspired to jump up and do a little dace. I quickly shoved my flip flops on my feet and shuffled down the hall. That's when I ran into.... It!
It was just moments later I found myself frozen in the middle of the hall, the bathroom just around the corner, I could see the light shining from out the door, so close, so very close indeed. There was however, something in my way. This vile creature who had appeared out of nowhere! So dark I almost didn't see it at first, it's piercing eyes watching me. It seemed like an eternity we stood there, both frozen, staring at each other in the hall. Finally I was left with only one choice if I didn't want wet pants to accompany me back to my room, I had to go around this monster! I made my move, a quick step the the right, the monster cut me off. I quickly slide to the left, still this vile creature was there blocking my path. This dance of intense terror continued, with each second and step I felt as if I was losing the battle! Finally when my hope was almost gone I made a swift step to the right a spin and down the hall I go!
This is the embarrassing part of the story when, as I am running for my life another door on the hall opens and my friend appears, confused as why I'm running they look around. I stop and look too.. they're is no longer anything there. As I try to explain the monster in the hall my friend looks at me like I'm crazy. Then out of nowhere 'it' appears... "There!" I squeaked as I pointed. My friends response is pure amusement as nothing other than a little rabbit comes hoping down the hall. For some reason my friend was not convinced of this rabbits evil nature. The rabbit sits there appearing innocent as accompanied by my friend I find my way to the throne room. You may think the story ends here but I have to inform you it doesn't. I came out of the bathroom to find myself once again faced with this furry monster, our dance or terror did not last as long as this time before I was able to break away. Down the hall I ran as fast as I could! With an occasional glance over my should I could see the rabbit was right behind me. Into my room I ran, I shut the door behind me, locked it, and jumped in my bed! Laying there the blanket pulled up to my eyeballs, afraid that the rabbit was still out there wanting to get me I couldn't help but laugh at myself and wonder what else do I run from. What other rabbits are out there in my life? What little things do I let get to me? It gave me something to think about in my life, though I know this rabbit was real! The fluffy fur and adorable hop couldn't fool me!

Rocket Ship Full of Toxic Bubblegum!
Today I checked out a little place called Rocket Fizz. (not the first time I've been there, just the first time I ingested toxic bubblegum there) This is a little shop brimming with old school soda, all of which are in glass bottles. The store also posses a massive amounts of candy making it a child's (or child at heart's) dream world. Lost between shelves of soda with names such as Leninade, Love Potion 69, Looks Like Orange but Taste Like Grape, Brain Wash and Fukola Cola I found a little glass bottle of a pink soda, which for the life of me I'd like to remember the name of, if only to warn you of it's toxic content. This drink... WOW! It was a massive shock wave of toxic bubblegum in liquid form running through me. It was just so gross I couldn't stop drinking it! The experience sure brightened my day! I've learned to appreciate normal flavors again. If you live in Lincoln, or just on your way through Rocket Fizz is a place to check out for sure! With every new soda flavor there waits a new adventure =D
