Reading Salvial_Ten's journal

First off, I appologize for being a troll/lurker or whatever word you personally may have for a NAOee that hasn't been posting. Truth be told I've been a bit lazy on post reading/pondering and hence lack of response...

Anyway, on to the so called adventure. My friend Brad and I recently went to examine the supposed corpse of the Administrative Clock Tower (ACT) Building. One of the more famous legends in Regan Houston Dorm is that one of the schools supporters died had herself mumified coated with latex and stood errect in her display gown along with all the manequins representing the wardrobe of other dead patrons to the university. To access this display of manequins and a dead body you first "enter the ACT building at the door leading directly to the second floor (midway up a hill) follow a hall till you get to a piano" then "go through a set of doors that no one goes into" and at the end of the hall in the last display case she stands.

I didn't believe it to begin with for the obvious reasons of a) dry or moist decompositon eventually starts to smell bad, b) it's an extreamly unlikely story, and c0 it's probably illegal. Brad also had similar doubts. A friend of ours Daniel is actually writing a paper on the myth, hopefully she'll understand the lakc of favorable probability and consider it fiction.

The directions were quite accurate though Brad compaired them to a scavenger hunt. We saw the "body" long before we got to the end of the hall. From a distance she's very real looking. And if you're uneducated to the existance of the optical illusion her squinted black eyes tend to follow you down the hall. The hall in general is very creepy, white tile floor, white walls, white ceiling and two display cases filled with department store manequins in period clothing. Brad and I were suitably weirded out by the only other human looking figure in the room. Upon close inspection one can tell that the grain of her skin looks too smooth to be human (despite the layers of dust on it), and that its that makeup pink available via any cheap blush. Brad pointed out that she has "doll hair" as well.

I consider it as being a good way to spend an otherwise boring afternoon and a good way to spend quiality time BSing with a friend. :)

In other news, I just sent my roomate back to her home state for military duty thing and have my room all to myself this weekend. Yay! Also, I've recently aquired employment but lack in hours, thus slightly tarnishing the luster of being employed.
