Bowling Alley of Death

SO CRAZY, we're starting week 2! I wish I could say times was flying but it's moving at an expected pace. Here are some fun adventures I've had this first week, mostly with my friends Jenna, Katie, Brian, and Erin:

Alright. So last night Jenna thought it would be so much fun to go bowling. That's good clean fun, right? What could go wrong? So we asked our friend Ramsey (who lives here) what a good bowling place would be. He told us that Forward Lanes was the closest. OH RAMSEY. So, Jenna puts it in her iPhone and off we go. We get on the bus (not a huge deal, it's necessary to take if you want to go anywhere in Pittsburgh) and look for our stop. Our stop was not that sketch, we had been there before. However, about 5 minutes into the walk I am ON EDGE. We are entering sketch city, USA. And the chumps I was with wouldn't go back! So I was faced with the decision to keep going forward into danger, or walk back through sketch town alone. I proceeded on. We passed a half lingerie half children clothes store (best part of town, y'all!) and then got to Forward Lanes. I was so afraid. We walked up all these stairs that were completely painted white to this upstairs bowling alley where we met the bowling alley worker from hell. He was so creepy. He had long, wispy, white hair and had a lazy eye. SO SCARY. And the bowling alley was SKETCH, we were the only people there. Then Katie asked if we could play our game with bumpers. The scary man replied "Are you mentally retarded?" Katie answered "No." he returned, "then you can't have bumpers." OH GREAT. WE'RE IN AN AWESOME ENVIRONMENT. I tried so hard to bowl so fast. Although, we found out Brian is a STAR bowler, that's basically the only positive from this experience. We got out quick and walked back to the better part of town in the scary night. I wish I had more details about that but I think my brain already blocked it out because I was so terrified. Then we ate coldstone and took a bus back to school. And we live to tell the tale.
