Random Thoughts

I haven't posted for a wee bit so I thought I would today. Mostly I just want to add a few thoughts I've had lately. #1: The farmers market. I love the farmers market. A couple reasons why I like it is because of all the fresh fruit, veggies, and baked goods you find. But another reason is to people watch. The farmer's market has such a dichotomy of people. For example, I saw a woman and her two daughters who I am convinced are polygamists. They were wearing pioneer dresses and all. Unless there was a pioneer parade going down the street somewhere and they got lost, which I doubt then they were polygamists. Another couple people I saw were hippies through and through. Now I love the hippies. They just crack me up. Why? I'm not quite sure. But these three guys were trying to convince this poor girl that she was wasting the worlds water by taking regular showers and that she needed to do what they did and bath in the river. Right...I'm sorry but you can think you are clean by scrubbing yourself with a rock but I can smell you all the way on the other side of the sidewalk. I'll stick to soap and a warm shower thanks. Now the last person I saw was my absolute favorite! It was this guy standing in front of the band that was playing totally jamming. Now that is not necessarily odd but let me tell you what he was wearing. A loin cloth...yup..that was it. No pants, no shirt, no shoes...no service! He was this pasty white, pot bellied man. Needless to say when he walked by me I scooted over quickly...you never know what a man in a loin cloth might do. Thought #2 car shopping and my liability to disclose defects...yes I'm law-nerding out right now...that's what my consumer law professor calls it. I got a new car because my poor little subaru passed on to the great beyond. I ended up getting a 2004 Jeep Liberty. I know an SUV, stupid thing to get with gas prices and all. But here's the thing this area is mountainy and snowy so people get SUV's and only new cars. So that was all I could afford. Also I kind of wanted a car that would last me past school for a while. So I let the car dealership drive my subaru to figure out what I could get for a trade in. While the manager was taking it out I told the sales manager about my transmission problem and he said..."ummm...I'm not going to tell them that." I was figuring I disclosed the problem and the next person they sell it to will have a claim against the dealer and not me. :) But that got me thinking that if you go shopping for a car request a carfax and test drive the car up hills and everything. I am not a fan of car dealers. Thought #3 grasshoppers...again. Now I mentioned in an earlier post about grasshoppers and how I hate them. Well the other day I was out for my run and I ran past this huge grasshopper that has partially smashed but still alive. I felt bad for him but I kept running, but I couldn't stop thinking about him and how I needed to put him out of his misery. So on my way back I decided to stomp on him completely and help him out. So I found him and realized that I couldn't do it. I couldn't stomp on the beady eyed gross thing. I wasted 20 minutes trying to figure out how to kill this poor grasshopper...I even tromped around in a wheat field looking for a stick...which I couldn't find. So my solution was to take a running start, close my eyes and step on him pretending I didn't see him. But I heard and felt the crunch. *shudder* it was gross. So my thought on that is that no matter how much I hate the gross little things I decided that I still feel bad when little creatures get hurt. So I'm not as heartless as I thought. Thought #4 This sign:
Now I found this sign in Elk River, Idaho...which is about an hour East of me. Honestly when you see this sign what do you think? Me...I'm not so sure, I mean are they serious are they being sarcastic? What? But it helped me decide that I will not be tromping through those woods anytime soon only to get mistaken for an elk and shot at. Yes Elk and I look incredibly similiar in the dusk light. You'd be surprised at how many times I have to chase deer away from me. Ahem anyway, moving on. Last and final thought #5: Mustaches. This guy asked me to dance with him at a dance on Friday. This guy is all cowboy and he made me dance to a country song...gag... He has a mustache! Let me see if I can find a similarish type picture of him.
Ha! Yeah right if he looked like Orlando Bloom I'd get over the mustache problem. No no here we go.
So here are my thoughts on mustaches. This guy first off is really nice and everything but I seriously thought he was 40. He looks 40 with the stach! So I sly asked questions at church on Sunday to find out his age because I was really curious. He's around 30. The little rat on your upper lip makes you look forty. It needs to go. Unless you are a motorcycle police office in the days of 47 parade you don't need a mustache. I told my friend she should start dating him and then make him lose a bet and make him shave it off. Oh and one last thing to add to that. Don't ask me to dance to a "two step" country song please. Do I look like the type of girl that knows how to dance to any country? No I don't. Ok that's enough random thoughts for one post. I'm going to go do my homework. Word!
