Poe-tay-toe

As I sit here eating mashed potatoes and gravy, I am reminded of a random question over which I have often pondered. Since I was a kid, I have always had to mix my gravy into my potatoes. It is not good enough for me to just put the gravy on top and eat it that way.

The question is, is this odd? Do most people eat their gravy on top or do they mix it in? I just don't know...

Who needs a title anyway?

I am not dead, just trying to stay afloat in my crazy and insane life. To recap since I last posted:

1. September 29-October 1 I went down to Arizona with band for the UA-UW game where I am happy to announce that we forced them into submission and won 21-10. It was an awesome trip and we even got to "sight-see". Brad thought it would be fun to take us to a desert botanical garden to see desert botanical things, and it was fun. It was warm too... like 99 degrees, but absolutely no humidity, so it was wonderful. I did NOT want to come home. Yay for swimming at 9 in the morning because it was already like 85 degrees. I think the only time I was cold was A. When I was inside where it was air conditioned or B. Saturday night at 4 in the morning when it finally got chilly out on the "vista".

2. My graduate school applications are completed and turned in. Hallelujah!!!

3. I have three (3), count 'em, 3 (three) midterms this week.

4. I am working.

5. I am doing my usual stuff at church.

6. I am taking 15 credits.

7. I am volunteering at UWMC.

8. I am doing upwards of 20 hours of HMB every week.

9. I am going to audition for basketball band so that the fun can continue into next year!

10. The Huskies are now 4-3. Still a winning record, but sad none the less.

11. The USC game sucked. I wonder what would have happened if the clock (i.e. the ref) wasn't stupid and we had been able to get that last play going. On the plus side, we lost to USC by only 6 points.

12. We lost to OSU on Saturday. At home. I have no idea what happened. We aren't even going to talk about this one.

13. Isaiah Stanback is out for the rest of the season due to a foot injury he sustained in the game Saturday. There is no shortage of tears over here.

14. Sulu from Star Trek was part of our field show on Saturday.

15. My knee is healed up nicely, although I think I will have a nifty scar for a while.

16. I have three midterms this week.

17. It has started to rain in Seattle. I am happy.

18. You wouldn't believe the number of times that I got on to post to my blog but got sidetracked by Facebook because it was more entertaining.

19. I get to go to Leavenworth this weekend!

20. It sucks to be a senior in a predominately freshman class, but it is awesome to already know all the answers! (If you want more details, you'll need to ask me)

21. I get to go to UO in 2 weekends and WSU in 4 weekends.

22. If we lose to Stanford, I think that I really will cry.

24. A good portion of my life does indeed revolve around football right now.

Okay, that is it. I'm sure there are more things to post, but I have procastinated long enough and should go be a good student or some such drivel.

Why oh why?

Someone wanna tell me why lately all the nice, gentlemanly guys I meet are not from church, or any church at all, and therefore completely off limits for the most part? And why the guys from church are mean jerk-faces who don't know how to treat a girl with decency or respect her? GAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Yes, bitter party of 1, right here.

How is it...

...that Washington is ranked higher than Cal in Pac-10 standings, yet Cal is ranked in national standings and Washington isn't. I am a bit confused.

Pac-10 standings:
1. USC
2. Oregon
3. Washington

This next month should prove to be rather interesting.
