a parade. in the library.

the other day i was talking to my former home teacher at the library security desk. we were talking about his upcoming marriage and my upcoming study abroad and mission, when all of a sudden we heard music. and it wasn't the music they play at midnight, either.

it was a parade.

there were 4 people playing instruments, including a banjo, a drum, and a recorder or something like that, as i recall. i think there were shakers too. of course, they could have been any instrument, seeing as how i was so shocked at seeing a parade in the library that i paid little attention to the instruments. gathered around them were a bunch of what looked to be high school students, and they were slowly walking out of the library.

i immediately thought, "the pied piper returns...and this time he brought his friends!"

i turned to my library security friend and asked, "is that allowed?" he said definitely not and decided that a rule needed to be made:

"no parades in the library!"

it was, quite possibly, one of the strangest things i have ever seen in the hbll.
