"This is the offer of a lifetime!... just, not MY lifetime."

I had my CIT midterm today. It wasn't spectacular, but it wasn't terrible. I managed to read a couple chapters while I was at work yesterday, so that helped immensely, and some of the blank spots were easily figured out with my prior computer experience. :)

I'm tired and I want to go home. But, I have to pick up flyers, first, because I feel bad about the way people love to NOT help out with advertising or planning Gamex. :p So, tomorrow I hang flyers.

Last night consisted of playing NWN, studying, and working. Yee! Tonight = Survivor/CSI, Japanese HW, probably some NWN or RO, and much sleeping. Ahhhh.

I scored a 67% on the "How Oregonian are you?" Quizie! What about you?

I have to ask: why does being Oregonian have to include a bunch of hippie/protester junk? ;p I mean, yeah, Eugene is rife with hippie types, but the rest of the state doesn't seem to be, especially once you get south of here.

It definitely gets worse the closer to Portland you are. I go to a community college, and my instructors actually cancel class periodically so they can go to protests. And my geology professor spent a good portion of our Death Valley trip trying to convince us that cattle are more dangerous to this country than Al Qaeda.

I only got a 65 percent, and I've lived here my entire life. Guess I'd better go hug some trees and see if I can up my score.

Oh, and... NWN should have a warning label on the box informing people of it's addictive qualities. Yeah.

Weird, I never saw much of the hippie dynamic when I was living around Portland during middle and high school--maybe it's just in the college/university environment that it rears its head? :)

65% for me as well...
i'm no vegan, not even vegetarian. i've never smoked anything and i don't drink beer... so i lost points there. as for the snootyness of Lake Oswego/West Linn/yada yada it's there, always has been (dying now as Milwaukie and Clackamas are expanding in...) but the quiz words it all/every so i had to say "nay"
i did notice a lot of protests both on campuses and occasionally in downtown PDX (worked there for Oracle for a couple years) but it's nothing compared to Seattle. we're crazy involved up here. :-)

"Are you pretty sure that some weird-ass shit goes on in Eastern Oregon?"

Heh. I spent a spring vacation camping at a hot springs near Fields one year. (Fields: Population 12, unless some of the old folks have died. Look for it on a map.) There was some pretty strange stuff going on out there-- we found LOTS of high-caliber shells, random graffiti on rocks, and all kinds of weirdness.

The hot spring was nice, though.

I'm apparantly 74% Oregonian-- not bad for having left ten years ago. 8)
