observations and such


i really don't feel like going off on a political tangent today. i just want to write. so here's my day.

the razorbacks were playing in town today (because the UofA is in Fayetteville which is in the northwest corner of our boxy state, they play a couple of home games in Little Rock every year. once, the UofA tried to take away those home games, we used to get 3 or 4 games a season...now just 2, and that just pissed a bunch of people off. so we are happy with our two games, even though they are usually against cupcakes like North Texas Univ.) so traffic was awful. i swear these country folk don't know how to handle the city. i'd hate to see what happens if they ever got to see a real city.

jarrett and i were going to go to the game, but we had no tickets. so our original plan was to just head over to the stadium and we'll probably be able to buy some off some guy trying to get rid of his. once we got on markham though we realized there were a LOT of people who wanted to go to this game. lots of people on the street corners trying to buy tickets. so we just drove on by.

i wish i went! it was a blowout, but i looove the whole vibe of going to a college football game. the cheers and the bands and just everything.

but instead i got to go shopping. and i got some new clothes to wear to work. yay! i've been needing clothes because i sold a lot of my stuff on ebay. most of what i had i didn't wear, and i was tired of wearing the same thing (at least it seems that way to me) to work every week! plus, with this new job opportunity i have, i was excited. and i needed new clothes. hehe

ryan said he got to meet gen. clark today at the game. i'm very jealous. i'm sure he'll write a big long thing about it monday. the blogmonster (my term of endearment for him) is really passionate about this whole campaign thing. he's starting up a students for clark chapter at his school (pulaski tech. college) and apparently he chatted it up with the Arkansans for Clark people at the game and he's going to get involved with them too. it was me who told him about Clark being at the game. it was me who suggested we go to the dinners and volunteer for the campaign. it is me who has the notion that she's going to be left out should ryan choose to move forth with this endeavour. but i guess if i start a new job at night soon then my volunteering time will be drastically cut. and going to the 1st monday dinners is definitely out.

i'm glad i'm the person with the ideas though. hell, if i'm not going to utilize them, someone else might as well.

i have a huge girlie crush on someone. and the one person i've told is convinced i should just confess. but i look at my track record and i can only think that confession would be the worst thing i could do. so i'm not saying anything. should the word get out some other way, so be it. i doubt anything will change. so i guess if you think i like you more than i should, tell me to grow up and that you're not interested. that way i can hurry up and get onto the recovery stage.

michigan lost today. how crappy is that? at least it was to a decent team and not some backwoods school. they'll be back next week with a vengence. i'm sorry for whoever gets to play them. i think arkansas has alabama next week. that should be a good game. bama lost today too, but to northern illinois who seem to be the giant killers this year. they knocked off maryland the first game of the season.

anyway. i'm sleepy and it's not even 11p. i need to train myself to sleep less. esp if i'm going to be working until midnight. eek!

that's enough for today. i'll probably watch meet the press in the morning and get all pissed off about something. then maybe i'll go back on my ranting. i think blogmonster has sapped all my energy for that though. he's so much better at it than i am.
