Reading, PA

The hoodiest of the hoods. However, everyone from the burbs claims to be from there, until theyre asked "is it dangerous"

White Girl: I'm from Reading.
Random Guy: Isn't that dangerous?
Girl 1: Well...kinda, if you live in the city. I live OUTSIDE the city.
Me, chiming in: You're from West Lawn bitch.

reading week

A week long period in February or March sans class for college kids to party their stress out and get completely trashed before hitting the books for their midterm exams and term papers. Usually results in several things: a shitload of pictures that no one remembers taking, random hookups, 5 am nights, several walks of shame (or strides of pride, you pick!), far too much money spent, and one hell of an intense hangover at the end of the week.

For some reason, it is more looked forward to than christmas.

college kid 1: that was the best perma-drunk week of my life man!
college kid 2: yea it would help if I could remember anything for all this pain
college kid 1: don't even worry about it, dude- it was reading week! no one cares what happened cuz we were all in the same sitch!

Reading, PA

One of the most crime ridden, poverty stricken cities in the US. Per capita, it has the highest drug, murder, and crime rate in the nation. Used to be the outlet capital of the world, and now is nearly without any business or workers. Here welfare equals daily wages and shootings are considered population control. If you are not hispanic, do not attract attention to yourself here...

Reading high school student found shot and tied up in the back of an SUV, presumably owing someone drug money.

drunk reading

when you come home after a long night of drinking and you want to continue reading that novel you've been working on so you start reading. you read profusely, continuously telling yourself you're sober enough to read and that you will remember this in the morning.

the other night will and nadine went out to do some drinking, when they got home they figured they would do some light reading. they both read for a while telling themselves they would remember it in the morning when in FACT THEY WERE drunk reading.

Popcorn reading.

The horrifying technique of a teacher calling on students hands raised or not.
