Sorry I've been gone. Got my laptop back this weekend, after another fight with my parents. This time about my grades. I was carrying a D all semester in Algebra II, and they just now got onto me about it. I told them to relax, since I'd get it up, but they didn't accept that. Got a D on my final and did every single piece of missing homework from all semester in a single night. Ended with a C and 3.42 GPA overall after the steady 3.0 exact. Boom.
Anyhows, we're outside Corvallis, and watched my mom walk for graduation Saturday from Oregon State. I fucking love the school, and this state. Camping at the KOA(I use the term "camping" very loosely as we're renting one of cabins, there's restrooms, showers and a pool). Spent the entire weekend up here, and we're leaving tomorrow morning for the 10-11 hour drive back home. Met some cool people here, but have no way of contacting them again, as I didn't ask for numbers and Facebook. These "what if's" things always kill me a bit on the inside. Got some awesome Beavers gear including orange/black Oregon State flip-flops and an OSU Band polo(from one of the members) at a thrift shop. Bought a "Guitar players can finger better" and "I have the biggest dick in the band" stickers to put on my cases. Might get in a WEE bit of trouble with those, as our director is Christian, and our administrators are all Mormon. Oh, and the fact I'm head Drum Major might make it a bit worse. Thinking I should get a hard case for Stacie(my Ibanez Dreadnought acoustic) and put them on there.
-Oregon has no sales tax, but has income tax. I find that awesome.
-In Oregon it is illegal to make U-turns ANYWHERE, whereas- unless it says otherwise- in Nevada you CAN make one anywhere it is safe to do so. I find that un-awesome.
-Oregon has the lottery, which is awesome. Sounds lame to get excited over that, but here in Nevada we don't, as the casinos don't want competition and won't sponsor it themselves.
-We found a sign in Newport that says "Suppoer your local hookers" with some fish on fishing poles. Found it un-awesome that in Oregon those are the only "hookers" they legally have. Another point for Nevada.
Ugh, it's late, I'm tired and confessing my feelings for some girl from our rival school I have feelings for(even though we haven't met in person yet), and I'm rambling some more. I'm going to bed. Catch y'all later.
