Snow!!! Oh geez, enough already!

The snow was great for a day, but now I am fed up with it and ready for things to get back to Oregon normal! I am going batty being cooped up in my little apartment. SOOOO here is a lovely little post with 18 random facts (why, 18? I picked a random number)

1) My legs are crooked (bow-legged) and one is 3/4 of an inch longer than the other...yet I love them.

2) I want a pet skunk (once it has bee de-stunk).

3) I can't choose a favorite color...pink and purple are too "girly", blue is a cop-out cliche color, green is associated with greed and money and horny-ness, yellow is too obnoxiously cheery, orange reminds me of traffic pillions, and my mom always told me I look bad in red. Black is gloomy and dark, grey is drab, and brown is dull. And I can't say white, since then I'll be called a racist!

4) But seriously, I guess I like all earth-tones, and honestly, black...it's classy and simple.

5) Sometimes I wish I hadn't gone to college, and had gone off to train horses for a living...

6) Doves are just a type of pigeon, basically flying rats...majestic, flying rats.

7) I'm an optimistic pessimist...try and wrap your mind around that one!

8) The tongue is the only muscle in the human body attached at one end only.

9) I like re-aranging furniture, and would change things up weekly if I had the time, space and creativity to do so.

10) Grace Kelly is my idol...I wish to be half as classy as her.

11) The coldest it has ever gotten in the continental United States was nearly -70 degrees Ferenheit in Montana in the mid 40's.

12) One of my favorite jobs was in a leather factory...I kind of liked working with raunchy old cowboys.

13) If everyone lived by the U.S. standards, there would need to be three more Earths to be sustainable.

14) Flamingos are really white, but the proteins from the shrimp they eat pigment their feathers to a pinkish tint.

15) I wish the jack-e-lope were real...

16) Charles Darwin wrote books other than his famous treatise on Natural Selection...including some amazing research on earthworms.

17) I enjoy studying law...yet will never have any desire to be a lawyer.

18) Randomness is a lack of order, purpose, cause or predictability, according to Wikipedia.

Loyalty

I am utterly disappointed in many OSU Beaver fans for their behavior on Saturday. I'm not talking about the fights that went on, the trash talking, or any of that. What really pissed me off was seeing hordes walking out as the Ducks scored more points against our admittedly deflated defense. Sure our team could have played better, given us more reason to cheer, but just because they were having a rough game doesn't mean we get to turn our backs on them. You can't choose when to support your team and when to ignore them. Fans should stick by their teams even more strongly during the tough games.
I think everyone needs to step back now and realize what an amazing season we had overall. We beat [then] number one USC when we were unranked. We only lost one home game, and really kicked the crap out of some great teams. If you claim to be a Beaver fan, be there for them!
