I guess the weird thing is, turning 21 was somehow a lot scarier than turning 22. Maybe it’s ’cause I’ve been there, done that, and am unafraid of being an adult now.

August 30, 2005 on 1:34 pm | In Blogger | No CommentsI’m back in Claremont…classes start in an hour for me (hehehe, yay late schedule). I spent the past two days moving in and whatnot…I’ll put up pics of the room at some point. It’s a 1930s historic building, balcony overlooking Star Court. No a/c though…but Betty lent me her fan (ahhhh).
The road trip was AMAZING! Kevin and I saw a ton of stuff, among the landmarks, the Corn Palace, the Mississippi, the Badlands, Wall Drug, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse (well, a glimpse), Devil’s Tower, Yellowstone (Old Faithful and all that), Zion National Park, and drove through 11 states (8 of which I haven’t seen–obviously I’ve seen IL, AZ, and CA), or 2300 miles. So, yeah, it was great…we took tons and tons of pictures too, but I think I’ll put the top 25 or so on Snapfish when I get a chance. So look for that email, or leave a comment if you want to see them :)
And that’s pretty much what is new :)

August 11, 2005 on 12:39 am | In Blogger | 2 CommentsWell, today was kind of a dangerous day for my brothers.
First off, Joey’s Gibson was stolen…poor guy, he loves that guitar. I think he has a chance of getting it back though; because he knows who did it and they already have a police record. If he doesn’t have it, we might have an insurance claim on it too, or the frat house might. Still, that would suck–I’d be quite upset if, say, someone stole my iBook or iPod, or maybe my jewelry, cheap as some of it is.
Second, Jimmy’s little friend got stuck in quicksand today. Jimmy and his group of friends were on a hike at Catalina State Park, and they were going to Romero Pools (I think), which is a 3 mile hike that eventually goes up to this swimhole. Anyway, Jeremy was going to jump near the pool when he jumped into quicksand instead, waist-high. All four seventeen-year-olds tried to pull him out, but it was too strong, so finally they found a log and had him lay on it…it still took all of them to pull him out. By then they were all muddy and whatnot from the quicksand, and also Jeremy lost his shoes in the process, so he had to hike back down barefoot and muddy. Needless to say, they were very late getting back and missed dinner.
Not a good day to be out in the world, anyway. I’ll just cuddle with Sherman and Grant.

August 9, 2005 on 2:19 am | In Blogger | 2 CommentsWell, puppies are a lot of work, but Sherman is slowly learning the ways of our house. We took him to Fry’s and the post office today, and at first he cried a lot, but then people came by and were like, “oooh look at the cute puppy,” and he liked all the attention. Grant is taking some pain killers for his hips, which has been helpful for him.
Not much else is new…Angband is a lot of fun….I like killing catapillers and mice, anyway :)

You Know You’re From Arizona When… |

You’ve signed so many petitions to recall governors you can’t remember the name of the incumbent. You notice your car overheating before you drive it. You no longer associate bridges or rivers with water. You know a swamp cooler is not a happy hour drink. You can hear the weather forecast of 115 degrees without flinching. YSou can be in the snow, then drive for an hour…and it will be over 100 degrees. You discover, in July it only takes two fingers to drive your car, because your steering wheel is so hot. You can make sun tea instantly. You run your a/c in the middle of winter so you can use your fireplace. The best parking is determined by shade…..not distance. You realize that “Valley Fever” isn’t a disco dance. Hotter water comes from the cold water tap than the hot one. It’s noon in July, kids are on summer vacation and yet all the streets are totally empty of both cars and people. You actually burn your hand opening the car door. Sunscreen is sold year round, kept right at the checkout counter. You put on fresh sunscreen just to go check the mail box. Some fools will market mini-misters for joggers and some other fools will actually buy them. Worse…..some fools actually try to jog. You know hot air balloons can’t rise because the air temperature is hotter than the air No one would dream of putting vinyl inside a car. You see two trees fighting over a dog. You can say “Hohokam” and people don’t think you’re laughing funny You see more irrigation water on the street than there is in the Salt River You have to go to a fake beach for some fake waves You can pronounce”Saguaro”, “Tempe”, “San Xavier”, “Canyon de Chelly”, “Mogollon Rim”, and “Cholla” You can understand the reason for a town named “Why” You can fry an egg on the hood of a car IN THE MORNING! You hear people say “but it’s a DRY heat!” You buy salsa by the gallon. Your Christmas decorations include sand and l00 paper bags. You think a red light is merely a suggestion. All of your out-of-state friends start to visit after October but clear out come the end of April. You think someone driving wearing oven mitts is clever. Most of the restaurants in town have the first name “El” or “Los.” You think 60 tons of crushed red rock makes a beautiful yard. Your house is made of stucco and has a red clay tile roof. Vehicles with open windows have the right-of-way in the summer. Most homes have more firearms than people. Kids will ask, “What’s a mosquito?” People who have black cars or black upholstery in their car are automatically assumed to be from out of-state or nuts. You know better than to get into a car with leather seats if you’re wearing shorts. If you haven’t worked for Motorola at some time, you must be a newcomer. You can finish a Big Gulp in 10 minutes and go back for seconds. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Arizona. |
