A Few Random Notes

On the name of the blog...
Dragon scales are considered magical items in many mythologies. They are usually given as a gift or to repay a debt that the dragon has to another creature. Scales are, depending on what you're reading, able to bestow strength and bravery to the holder, or able to let the owner see the future, or they just make a great trophy. In any case, they are generally very beautiful, very strong, and highly reflective. I hope this blog is at least the last one. (That, and any other names I could think of without misspelling anything were already taken.)
On my roommate...
Her name is Justine, and she's from Albuquerque, New Mexico. She is a dancer, as evidenced by the crate of various shoes under the bed, and she also sings. She's got every song from Pitch Perfect memorized. She's nice, and we get along fine. We're not actually in the room together too much except for when we're sleeping. She has a boyfriend who is still in NM. She likes purple and blue. She is going for a degree in mechanical engineering as of right now, although she says that may change. We're not best friends or anything like that, but we get along.
On my first college football game last Friday...
I've recently learned that you're doing it wrong at a college football game if you - 
-Sit down at any point other than a few minutes at halftime
-wear any color other than red
-can hear the band over the cheers
-don't heckle the other team
-don't heckle the ref
-don't heckle the rival school's team even though they aren't there
-know where the other team's band is situated.
-dress normally
-have some feeling in your hands, arms, feet, and legs afterwards
-still have a voice afterwards
And also, the correct question is not "Is anyone sitting there?" It's "Can we squeeze a few more people in to stand there?" (from facebook)

One other thing...
I've recently enabled my posts to be commented on by anyone. (I think). If it worked, please keep comments civil, clean, relevant, and PLEASE NO SPAM!
Thanks, and have a great week.
