- they must at least once go into mcdonalds or burger king and ask for a cheese burger, but without the cheese
- have a clown necklace (a moveable gold clown usually, although may strtch to a doll)

I hate Idaho! I wanna leave as soon as I graduate!
That's how all us Idahoans under 18 feel. Unfortunately, only about 30% of high school students go to an out-of-state college. smilies/frown.gif Everything about Idaho sucks; the economy, the education, the government....I could go on. All Idaho is known for is potatoes, skiing, and stupid Nazis. And then it takes hours and hours just to drive out of Idaho and see another state (it's too big a state for such a small population). That's why I made a promise to myself to make sure I leave this darned state and move far, far away.
Ok, I'm sure you've heard enough of complaining from this Idahoan. Carry on. smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Gorwingel]

Why do all you Idahoians hate Idaho? I have visited there many times and I have always thought of it being a really great state. Where do you live? do you live in the south or the north, because I prefer the north to the south. It is very beautiful state. I enjoy Boise (yes, it is kind of small), Sun Valley, and Court d'Alene (sorry I think I am spelling that wrong), is it just because I am a tourist? smilies/frown.gif

I just wanted to add, that it is not like I am Miss Outdoorsperson or anything. I don't ski, hike, mountain bike, boat, or anything like that. It is just that I live in Washington State, and we motorhome, so to get basically anywhere else in the entire United States we have to go through Idaho, and I have always had a fondness for it. I just never knew that the natives dispised it so much, but I don't really live in a small town, or a place with few people, so maybe I just don't understand.

[ February 17, 2003: Message edited by: Gorwingel ]

[Brinniel]

It's probably because you're a tourist. Yes, Idaho's a great place for outdoor activities, but after a while it can get old (I've lived in Idaho my entire life). There is no real entertainment in Boise for teens during winter except for the movie theater. Also, there isn't much opportunity in Idaho for someone looking for a job. I believe Idaho has one of the worst economies in the US.
But I suppose it's a great place to visit during summer if you like the outdoors.

[Ithaeliel]

Idaho can actually be great for outdoorsy people. And skiing is great. So is whitewater rafting, camping, wildlife, farming... but here's the catch. Boise is a really small "biggest city in the state." I mean REALLY small. The economy is going downhill when it was bad already, there are only about five colleges in Idaho, and there are very few job opportunities. Another thing is some people can't stand the cold. My friend has a condition where she's very cold-blooded, and she hates going out in the winter.
For another thing, public education is basically bad, and getting worse. Last year Gov. Kempthorne cut the budget for public schools in half. When I get to high school, I have to go halfway across town one period a day just to take Latin. There are other classes they cut out completely. They're giving more money to the prisons than they are to children. When I go to college, I'm definitely going out of state.
Then there's just big dreamers. There's no showbiz in Idaho, no outstanding colleges (except maybe Albertsons). I want to expand my horizons, and I can't do it here.

So there ya go. That's why I'd leave Idaho.

Riverton is about half an hour south of Salt Lake City, by Sandy. What state are you in, Brinniel?

[Amanaduial the archer]

I am ashamed to say, I cant remember. It was over 10 years ago. ie. when I was about 2 years old.

[Brinniel]

What state are you in, Brinniel?

I live in Boise, Idaho. Riverton is a bit far from me then (probably a day's drive). But then again, everything is far from Idaho. smilies/frown.gif

Im from Canada! And its snowed on April first (april fools day if anyone didn't know), thats even odd for us!
The other day (I think it was yesterday, but I can't remember) the weather in our town was completely wacked out:
I woke up to discover it had snowed a tid overnight. When I left for school it was raining. In my 8th period class I looked out the window and discovered it was hailing and snowing quite hard. Later in the early evening the wind picked up and it began to thunder and rain. An hour later, I swear I saw sunlight before it clouded up and began raining again. And if that's not weird enough, the temperature in Boise was in the 70s on Monday, while yesterday's high was only 44 degrees (F)! Still, I guess this weather shouldn't be too surprising considering it was raining in December (it was supposed to snow). Boise sure is a confusing place to live. smilies/rolleyes.gif
