The Beginning

It has begun. Tour de Blacksburg is underway. Well, what is Tour de Blacksburg? On its most chief level, it is an attempt to explore the many beautiful places of Blacksburg in all their glory. No, I'm not going to the beautiful mountains or rivers for this. I am simply going to live life out of the bag and live with new friends every couple of days for a while. I will get to experience the living situations of others and enjoy the company of many different people along this maiden voyage.
Currently, I am sitting in Panera waiting for my car's oil change to be done. The man at the front desk misheard me and thought I said my name was Heather and kept calling me Heather which was kind of amusing. But this really has nothing to do with anything.
CURRENTLY, I am staying with the Men of Oak Manor. They were the first hosts gracious enough to put me up. It is an all-star cast over there (as to be expected). You have the likes of Nate Badwoman, Mike's Reid, Bike Mitton, Jacque, Caleb, and Kyle. Last night, I played Britton in a game of NCAA Football '08. I was the West Virginia Mountaineers and he was the Arkansas Razorbacks. I got a couple lucky breaks and came out with a decisive 20-7 victory. No big deal.
Their couch is quite accommodating as it provides a perfect length for a 5 foot 11" man. It also provides just enough cushion so that you feel comfortable but not sinking by any means. I have had to take the bus to class which is new for me but not a problem nonetheless.
Other amenities include a hookah, good water pressure in the shower, Tiger Woods golf on Wii, a bowling alley in their basement, and an Olympic size swimming pool in their basement as well. I have been there three days already and it has been nothing short of brilliant.
The OMG (O My Gaaaaa Girls) are neighbors too and provide good hospitality when needed. They have great internet, printers ice cream. Besides Klipboard's sneeky drug dealing, it is a great environment to be in.
One last thing I think worth noting is the obvious vacancy of my room back at Apartment N. It is up for rent for anyone interested. It will be $29.99 per night plus tax. It includes a spacious room with a spacious queen-size bed. Additionally, my Indian servant Swift will take care of you. He will do your laundry, change the sheets, bring you breakfast in bed, and perform many of the other various needs you may have during your stay.
I will provide another update in due time. Payce.
