Cult Members in Winchester
Do you know the reason they created a "panic" button for car keys? I met one of them today.I convinced Robin to let me leave the theater study hall to go to the public library in town, to research the demographics of the Incas. I neared my car, to drop off my books, when I man approached me, seemingly out of nowhere.SCARY MAN: Would you like to hear an Urban Legend?ME: (looking skeptical) What? Oh... no, I'd rather not. (turns to unlock the door)SCARY MAN: (walking closer, with a strange look in his eye, and his hands behind his back) Are you sure? It's very interesting.ME: No, I'm sort of in a rush...SCARY MAN: It won't take very long.ME: No, thank you.SCARY MAN: (lowers his voice, and walks even closer) It's about the devil-worshipping cult of the Son of Sam. (when he said "devil-worshipping," he started to smile, a rather Grinch-like smile. Not the kind of smile you want to see in such a circumstance.)ME: (stepping back)No...SCARY MAN: (still walking forward, with fixed eyes. Does this man never blink?) I tell a lot of people this story. They like it. Would you like to hear it now?ME: I have to go now.At that point, I opened the door very quickly, and locked it, shoving the books next to me on the seat. I started the car, but the man didn't move at first. I was very tempted to back into him, but the thought the potential legalities loomed in my mind. I decided against it, although I will mention that I came *so* close.I looked at him in the rear view mirror, and he was still looking at me. I shifted into reverse, hoping he would "get the picture." He had legs, he could move if he wanted to. It was only then that he finally moved. I turned back as I neared the edge of the parking lot, and he was still looking at me.Yes, Winchester IS a scary place.*******The auditions for the musical were last night. They went well. Mental note: next time, pick a song. After that, maybe I can work on learning the lyrics? :) It didn't look that impressive to sing "la la la la la" when I forgot the verse.Mod 5 is off and running! I have Latin American History, Civil War, and Beginning Photo. They all look like great classes, and now my father is yelling at me for dinner. More later.~Jenn

I'm so afriad now! maybe that scary guy got my mom and that's why she isn't home yet!! Was this in the library parking lot? that's definetely frightening, you should tell the nice police men, maybe they will arrest him before he has a mass winchester suicide (although that wouldn't be too difficult to pull off, hehe)-Amy
Winchester has mass suicides?
