Angelina Sweet:Jsoma:Today I got dragged out to the St. Patrick's Day parade, which was a waste of time because I was one of maybe four people there who weren't wearing green, it was hot as hell outside, and unlike most parades I've been to, showing up 25 minutes early is not early enough to find a good parking spot and place to watch the parade. I tried to convince my parents to watch from the Subway downtown, but that didn't happen.
I also played basketball at one of my friend's house. That wasn't too terrible, except that I had to bike across town to get there and there are no sidewalks in his neighborhood, which means it was great that I only came close to getting hit by 21 cars.
And dad made french toast and bacon for lunch.
In Rosemount?
....Does Rosemount even do anything for St. Patrick's day anymore?
Rosemount? Nooo...I live nowhere near the Cities.
It's a four hour drive from my house to Minneapolis, and even then, most of my trips down there involve going to a Twins game and going home in the same day. Live a bit closer to North Dakota.

On a related note, it was a madhouse getting home even though I'm sure there weren't that many people drunk at 4 PM. My brothers was worried that our car would have been towed since dad parked in a reserved parking area, even though he explained that the parking lot was open to the public on weekends. Luckily, he was right because I was in no mood to walk home.
