Super Bowl
So yesterday was Super Bowl Sunday. The Big Game. I don't give a shit about football, but I went to a SB party. It was pretty cool. Small--only myself and five other people. We sat around and played cards and watched the game. Overall, it was a nice time. However, I figured out the exact way to piss off our host. You see, our host is extremely liberal. I'm not. She absolutely hates President Bush. I don't. She's frightening sometimes. Somehow, we got onto politics, and I happened to say "I don't think Presdent Bush is the worst possible thing that could happen to this country." You'd think I just told her I beat off to Bush's picture (to clarify, no, I don't). She overreacted a little. Started giving me every reason, mostly filled with false information and conspiracy theories, why George Bush would be worse for this country than Adolf Hitler. Look, I'm not liberal or conservative, but I can't stand when anyone starts to overreact and go extremely liberal or conservative. I mean, she said that George Bush is plotting concentration camps for the United States! That's a little nuts. Eh, well. She apologized for freaking out on me later, and we made up, but it was still pretty freaky.
The party was not all bad. It was actually a lot of fun before she went nutso on me. And, I was able to find CERTS Cool Mint Drops at a drug store we went to beforehand. You have to understand, I am ADDICTED to those mints, and no other store in the area carries them anymore. I was so shocked to see them that I bought all of the packs they had left.
Oh, and I entered in a SB Pool and WON! At the end of the third quarter, the score was 24-14, and I had a square for the 4-4. It'd take too long to explain, but I won $175! YEAH! After taxes (that is, paying the person running the pool and paying my mom back for a couple of things I owe her), that's about $135. I'm gonna have to save it; I rarely have that much extra money. Oh, and by the way, I ALMOST won double that; it came down to the last four minutes of game play.
