vermont?? really??
my faith in online quizzes is starting to diminish, even after it's fairly low starting point. i just took the state quiz and found out that i, for some reason, am a combination of vermont, the district of columbia, and west virginia, none of which really make a lot of sense. especially vermont, cause they're a bunch of crazy liberals and would probably stone me in the public square if i went there.
it's almost thanksgiving hurrah!!! that means various meals at various family groups' homes. one with lots of cousins and relatives and oyster dressing and sister schubert rolls and home-made pumpkin pie and coconut cake, and one with fried turkeys and cranberry sauce and people i don't really know. all in all, a very eclectic holiday. i'm wondering if it's cold in chattanooga, cause i went to class in jeans and a tshirt today. it is VEEERY easy to forget altogether that it is november here. if i didn't have a designated break from school to remind me, i may forget about thanksgiving all together.
the state of alabama doesn't really believe in fall, per se. there's really not much of the "beautiful fall color" and briskness in the air that is usually associated with this time of year. it's more like, a bunch of dead leaves mysteriously appearing on the ground, and now it's 70 instead of 78 outside. it just means you have to look somewhere besides the weather outside that ain't so frightful for your sense of the holiday season.
one could look, for instance, at auburn's magnificant football team. the glory and wonder that is jordan hare stadium fills with the voices of thousands upon thousands of fans, chanting "WAR EAGLE" and putting their arms around eachother to sway to the fight song, here on the rolling plains of dixie, 'neath the sunkissed sky. the iron bowl is this weekend in tuscaloosa, where the tigers will triumph yet again, and become 11 and 0. as i walked back to the dorm after art history, i could hear the marching band, which needs no clever title to prove that they are awesome, just look at our studly standing back-tuck doing drum major to prove that, i could hear them blasting out the fight song on the practice field. such a lovely sound. it just makes one think of that wonderful wonderful bird that circles the stadium each game, and gives us all goose bumps.
i'm off to american government, but all i have to say is waaaaaaaaaaar eagle, hey!
