State Fair!!

Today I went to the Fair with Allie, John, and Drew. It was a lot of fun, we went on a few rides that flipped us upside down. There was one that was so fun/scary/windy that everyone's eyes teared up from screaming and the cold wind. John was crying so hard he was dripping on me, which was pretty funny. I ate some pizza, coke, and a caramel apple, as well as a part of funnel cake, some cotton candy, and a plain apple. It was all really good. I got a few good pictures, that I'll post later.
Me and Allie went on this awesome ride that was like a tilted, super fast wheel that just spun and spun. The guys were too scared to go on it, and Allie was screaming in my ear, and I was just singing "All Summer Long" by Kid Rock.
We also went to see the pig/goat/duck races. That was really, really fun. My favorites were either the ducks or the baby pigs. One women was crowned "North Carolina Pig Queen 2008," but the catch was she had to kiss the pig.
She gave it an air kiss.
I would've done the same thing.


I also saw the ultimate example of irony, which was a little funny and a little sad. You know those air-brush tee shirts you can buy? I saw one couple buying one, and it had a Confederate flag on it. The painter was African-American. I wondered how he felt painting it, and if the people buying it even thought about it might affect him. It kinda reminded me of when I was in Eastern North Carolina, and people would have the Confederate flag right under the American flag. I wonder if it even means anything to them anymore, if they even can fully grasp the concept that they're displaying.
Sorry for the ramble.
Yay for the fair.
