top 10 weirdest things about indiana

at least since I got here...

10.
The main library on campus has no windows, not beyond the third floor, and there are 10 floors...
9.
there is no movie theater that is not a cineplex, except a screening room in a video rental place and a classic theater that only shows old or bad films...
8.
90% of couples here are a combinatio of attractive, skinny, effeminate men and unattractive, fat, masculine women
7.
Bar food is considered a delicacy
6.
Those gay guys in ann arbor? Yeah, well, they're straight here...there is almost no gay population, and the people i have seen in this minority are inevitably the butch, scary variety...which isn't to say that's bad, just odd
5.
No matter where i walk, i receive cat calls from overtly masculine men...in the form of yelps to 'cross the street! yeah!' to 'Owww' to, my personal favorite, 'watch out for that mosquito!' and, my least enjoyed experience, 'are you gay?' but in a kentucky accent...
4.
where are all the minorities? (one of five mexicans i've seen on campus is my only good friend...and there are only a handful of indians...and they're almost all in the business school...)
3.
Birthing is a profound political statement and act of political change...or, at least, most consider it to be such...
2.
People go to bed here at 10pm, and that's a late bedtime...in short, i'm a lonely night owl...whooo! whooo! whooooo will hang out with me!
1.
There was a tornado yesterday, one of the worst tornadoes ever in Indiana. In November.
IN NOVEMBER!!!!!!!!!!
