[nabs-l] Awkward Situations: What would you do?

[Teal Bloodworth]

this is true but in the same semester i had a group from the social 
psychology class that asked me to borrow my cane for a "breaking social 
norms" project. Then i found out they went into target and knocked stuff off 
the shelves. Also i had a friend tell me a mutual friend died her hair very 
blak "kind of like the only thing you see Teal"
