Getting excited...

So I don't have any big dramatic event to write about--but here's hoping I get one tonight (a good/funny one, not a sketchy/weird guy one). Anyways, here are a few semi-funny things and some musings...

So I am PUMPED for football season. I mean, I have every game written on my calendar and am like, counting down the days until September 1st. Everybody reading this should know that I am a HUGE Penn State fan--if you don't, then it's likely that we've never met before. So I'm at a store the other day and I was reminded how much I hate Tennessee (the volunteers, not the state--I live here so it's awesome, duh). My mom and I were checking out apartment stuff at a department store and I was wearing a Penn State shirt.

"Do you like Penn State"-random guy working there at the checkout counter

"Yes I do"-me

Sigh "I don't. Not at all"-we'll call this guy "AB" (that's for ass-bag)

"Well, we can't all be perfect" I say smiling, he's already annoying me.

"Yeah, god knows Penn State isn't. I was so mad when they beat us" (the other girl working with him tries to shush him...alas, it doesn't work)

"Oh, who is your team?"

"Tennessee" (Go figure, big surprise)

"Oh yeah, that was the greatest game I've ever been to" I said smiling, biting back comments

"Did you go to school there?"

"Yes"

"Wow, you must be really smart. Did you go to that game?"

Female sales clerk then steps in "she just said it was the best game she's been to moron" (I wanted to hug her, after punching him in the face)

"Right" I say, my blood boiling. I'm sorry, what has happened to customer service?

"Yeah, I was dating a girl at the time who liked Penn State. I broke up with her right after that game because I was so pissed" (Do you have any idea how many things went through my head...but all I can say is bless that girls heart, and that she's much better off...and probably that she was not disappointed at all--her team wins and she drops this clown)

"So do you like Joe Paterno?" he asks, as we're getting our bags.

"Of course. Don't even think about following that with he needs to retire"

"No, but that was so funny when he got injured this year"

"Really? An 80 year old man getting a helmet full force to his knee and walking around on torn ligaments for a quarter was funny to you?"

"Yes" he says, beginning to chuckle as his pea-brain recalls it "I laughed about it all day and every time they showed a replay"

I smiled, "well thanks and good luck this season" I say, taking my bags from him.

I mean, really? How obnoxious?! It would be different if I were spurring on the trash talk, but no. He was just so bitter about losing. He even said 'the only reason we lost was because we fumbled the football so many times'. I was like, that's no excuse, my team held onto the ball just fine.

SO that's my giant rant for the day. I would have another one that I laid out for Brittany the other night...but I'm hoping to rectify that soon. My opinion of Tennessee football, however, will never be changed. Now I'm all annoyed again writing about it! Thank goodness it's unemployment Thursday...I need some beer!

Oh, and on another note...I have a roommate for a month! My darling Becky has returned to us from Europe via Minnesota and will be living with me until her house is ready. So definately will have some good stories coming up...last night was reserved for So You Think You Can Dance and Sex and the City re-runs, and wine of course.

Keep reading...post some comments...and get ready for football season! Only 16 days people!
