Fanmail:Yay For Friday!!!
Scooter Bob, aka Happy Friday Guy,
You are my hero! I get out of class at noon on fridays and have suddenly found that I walk out of my way to reach McKinley and see you. Fridays would be a lot less interesting if you weren't around. Thanks for putting a smile on my face. ^_^
Happy Friday!

Reaching Around the World
Again, I have received more correspondence from not just another state, but another COUNTRY. This person wrote from ENGLAND. Amazing!!! I love you all! :) Here is what they wrote:
dear friday man,
i study at a school in illinois and i heard about you (which
is even more impressive considering i am studying abroad in
england right now!!) and i just have to say that i admire
what you are doing so much. i wish with all my heart there
were more people like you in the world. you are such a
reminder of good things and true joy and freedom too (in a
lot of ways) and i just wanted to say thanks, and keep it
because you are inspiring people way beyond the boundaries
of the ball state campus.
and, of course, happy friday.

Boldy Go Where I Haven't Gone Before...
...or maybe just in a different order.
I did go a few ways that I haven't gone before, but I forgot to go on the North side of Lafollette. I don't normally see many folks over there anyway. Oh well.
It was rainy today so I got pretty wet, but that can't stop me. In fact it made stopping sorta fun because I could skid, and slide on one foot to stop. I still have some leftover Halloween candy, so still getting chocolate and the like... I'm just about out of that though.
I didn't post from last week, so here's the shortened version of that. It was dreadfully cold. My fingers froze. I did the same old stuff. I ran into the same ground's crew guy, and he took his picture with me. He gave me his gloves. That's it for highlights that I can think of.
Back to this week.
I found thefacebook this week and saw that someone made a group in honor of me. Thanks folks! At this point there are 699 people in this "fan club" of sorts. Anyway, I heard it through the grapevine, or through the message board, whatever, that there were folks out there that had never gotten their spirits uplifted by the ol' "Happy Friday Guy." Well let me know where you're at around Noon on Fridays and I will try to make a special appearance for you. Sen me an email. Everyone deserves a Happy Friday! This week I tried to find Jill Gerber... I hope that I found you... I think I did.
I accidentally chucked(threw) a chocolate bar into the side of a car, instead of through the window... sorry gold car ( I can't remember what it was). At that same intersection I heard someone shouting something, and they had a SpongeBob head thingy they were holding or something... I'm not sure what was going on.
Well that's not it. The SpongeBob car returns and I wish them a Happy Friday again. The SpongeBob holder (obviously not the driver) asks me if I will go on a date with the driver. I stammered, because I still haven't figured out a response to these questions, and said something like "I don't think so" but then I felt bad about that, so I explained that I don't really date. I guess I could, but that would be weird. Would we hop on my scooter and cruise down to Subway? She would have to be small. My scooter says it can only hold 250 pounds, and I've got %60 of that already spoken for. I wouldn't be afraid to go over that a little, but if you start pushing 120 pounds, we might have to walk. She was a small girl though... hmmm. I think it would somehow tarnish my image... its not like I'm doing this to pick up chicks, however it seems to be working. ;)
Still not the end of her story.... So I though that interaction was over, I start to go back to the "Scooter Cave". The story continues as she proceeds to follow me!!! Oh boy... I'm being followed. At first she was driving real slow sorta beside me, but she ended up speeding up because there were cars behind her, and my poor scooter was running out of e-juice so he was going slow. Well, she got stopped at a stop light where she was turning right. I could tell right there though, that if I drove by she was going to go whichever direction I was! Yep! Sure enough she did. What is the next thing you do when trying to protect your identity, you start ducking into alleys and acting funny, and that's what I did. In the process another car started acting fishy, but I finally lost them both. Whew!
I made it back to my cave, and no one was there waiting for me. I think that's it for now.

Mission Accomplished
Seriously.: Down in my heart.
People are getting it. THIS is why I do this. I hope LB keeps it up and passes on what she has learned.
