College Football, North Little Rock, and Thievery.

So, this weekend, I drove up to Little Rock with the band for a football game. We had a blast. Walking around North Little Rock at night with a bunch of band kids is a good way to get the adrenaline flowing. North Little Rock is a scary place. XD We ran into a lot of drunk people. AND I got a delicious pickle in a bag from a gas station. Made. My. Day. After wandering around, we went back to the hotel and just hung out for awhile. Fun stuff, actually. I'm really getting to know people, and actually starting to make some friends. :) It's cool.

The next morning, we get up, and it's raining. Just like it always is when we go to Little Rock. Needless to say, we're pretty hopeful. I don't know about you, but we band kids don't like to wear three layers of wool in the heat. Just throwing that out there. However, the pattern in Little Rock didn't fail us, and the sun came out as soon as we got to the stadium. It was miserably hot. And humid. Even before we were in uniform, we were all drenched in sweat and dying. I don't know if you know this, but turf on a football field increases the temperature by about 15 degrees. It was gross.

After practice, we ate lunch/dinner...within three hours of each other... and sat in an air conditioned bus where I played Pokemon while waiting for the parade to start. Band is all about the waiting. We hurry to get ready, then we stand around for ages. So, we're all in uniform, we parade over to the field entrance, aaaaaand...we stand there. In the heat/humidity in full uniform. People actually felt sorry for us...it was hot.

Finally, the game started, and fortunately the director let us take off our jackets. Which is odd...a band director showing mercy. O_o

Yadda, yadda, yadda, Hog victory! :D So far, we've won both the games we've played. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

And then we drove home...got back to Fayetteville around 1:30am, and I was pretty happy to be in Fayetteville at night instead of Little Rock.

Boy, were my impressions switched. <.< I loaded my car, got in...and noticed the middle console between the front seats was open...and empty. So I searched around my car, and found out that only the stuff in the console was missing. My GPS was still there, some jumper cables, my textbooks, my insurance card...everything of value was still in there.

What was missing? A few burned/old CD's, a half-empty lighter, and a pocket knife so dull it won't cut through plastic. Way to go, Fayetteville... Don't get me wrong, I'm happy nothing worth anything got stolen. But really...if you're gonna break into someone's car, do it right. >.<
