colleen and veronica to dublin!!!!
That is correct! Veronica and I finally bought our tickets to Europe so all the skeptics out there who didn't actually believe we were going can just shut the fuck up! :) Yay! We didn't get buddy passes and our tickets are pretty pricey ($800) but we just decided its now or never. So we did it. Tomorrow V is coming over with a bottle of wine and we are finalizing all our plans and making a set itinerary with all the cities were going to visit and a budget and all that fun stuff. Did I mention she's bringing over a bottle of wine? (Maybe I should tell her to bring two. Or three...)
I started school back up today. Again, another thing people didn't think I was going to do. Now what is Colleen going to say? That she's still going to the gym. The answer to that is yes, well for the most part. Brittany and I don't always go three times a week but we always go at least once. I can run for five minutes now! How impressive!
There are some bum-doodle things about starting school back up, such as homework. I have to read alot. I love to read and I read all the time, but I work just about full time and every class wants me to read like a thousand pages. Okay not really but the point is I don't have enough time to do it all. Plus I have to wait for my books to come in the mail because they are way cheaper online. Another bum-doodle thing about school is I smoke way more. I smoke in the car on the way to school, on my way up to campus, between classes, on my way back to my car, and all the way home. It's bad. So just stop right? Harder than you think. Maybe between classes I don't need to smoke but if I get out early that's what I do, smoke until my next class starts. Maybe if it would just rain the entire time I'm up on campus I wouldn't smoke. I'll have to see what I can do about that.
Today I made little Andrew hang up all of my posters. It's like my walls are wallpapered with famous people. I love it!! I wake up to Indiana Jones hanging out with Will Ferrell, the Breakfast Club, and Samuel L Jackson. And Bob Marley is rolling a joint next to Wayne and Garth. What more could I ask for? Maybe just Luke and Han guarding my door.... fabulous! I know I am such a loser. Wow, rereading this....I am a bigger loser than I really give myself credit for. (Does it annoy you that I just ended that sentence with a preposition? Because it's annoying me.)
Well looks like this is my last post for the month of March. And April Fools Day is coming up, better get crack-a-lackin on a joke to play on Laura at work. Hmmm......
Well, you know how it is, stay freshh!

99 red balloons go by
what a wonderful song that is. all versions. I have the cover by Goldfinger in my car and I just replay it over and over and overrr again. I'm loving it.
So updates besides silly music selection..... Veronica and I went to Chicago this past weekend. Well, more accurately we went to Mundelein which is a suburb north of Chicago. My friend Kevin from Purdue, his family lives there and they have this huge St. Patty's Day party every year, a Dolanfest. Lets just say, we weren't prepared. They spent $1,000 on beer. Green beer. 5 kegs. and that doesn't even cover the liquor. I know it's not polite to talk about money, especially other people's money but hot damn they spent alot on that party. Well alot to people like me. To them it may have been mere pocket change for all I know.
On the way up though was the most scary/humbling experience ever. And it was slightly funny. Well I don't know if you have ever heard of a little place called Gary, Indiana. I wouldn't really expect anyone to but its in northern Indiana somewhat close to Chicago. It is overall a shit hole. I'm surprised that we made it out a.) alive and b.) with all four hubcaps. It was pretty hood but that's not what was scary. It was like a ghosttown. Every building, and I mean EVERY building was falling apart. None had windows and there was trash every where blowing around like little tumbleweeds. And there was like no one around, it was really creepy. But what was funny was that the movie theater (which was this beautiful building in its hayday but now its all dilapidated) said "Jackson Five Tonight" which I found ironic and hilarious. So of course I had to call my mom to tell her this (because she loves the musical "The Music Man" and Ron Howard is in it and he sings the song Gary, Indiana. And according to her, that's when she fell in love with Ron Howard.) But my mom works nights now so I call her and basically wake her up just to tell her that I was in Gary, Indiana and there's a theater here that says Jackson Five is playing tonight. She asked me to call her from the concert.
I love my mom.
Anyways on the way home Sunday, Veronica and I decide that a detour is necessary to Aurora, Illinois. If you don't know what's in Aurora, you should probably reevaluate your life. But I'll tell you just in case. It's WAYNE'S WORLD! PARTY TIME! EXCELLENT! Okay I know, I'm a huge loser. But we were more or less in the neighborhood and I love that freaking movie. So we got some food at the Aurora Pancake House (closest thing we could find to a doughnut shop) and let me tell you, that may have been a mistake. I'm still regretting it. Now it seems as if I bring Aurora everywhere I go, if you catch my drift.
Well, I'm going to return Friends season 4 to the library and come home and nap.
As always, stay fresh.

this one's for maggie...
WWCSD?
clean her room, probably. My room looks like a bomb went off and instead of shrapnel, it exploded with brightly colored cotton shirts and dresses! I'm glad it's finally warmed up because all my winter stuff is dirty and is in dire need of a good bath in the washer and all my summer dresses were waiting for me in the closet, excited to see the light of day again. (Yay!!)
I just made an account on www.couchsurfing.com. Veronica and I are looking to meet some people while we're out in Europe and we can stay at people's places for free and hang out and whatever else. It looks pretty cool.
I've decided that it's official. The weirdest shit happens to me. Period. End of story. When I go out, one of two things happens. One, a girl will hit on me. Or two, a guy will do/say something completely crazy and inappropriate which makes me rethink the whole necessity of men in general. I really don't want to go into the full story but an example was recently a guy first asked me for coke (Because I look like I know how to party) and then preceded to tell me it looked like I had a loose vagina. Um..... okay. I'm not even making this shit up. Do I have a sign on my head that says "She likes em CRAZY"? Because I might want to get that removed. Just maybe.
So for the celebration of St. Patty's Day, I thought I was going to Purdue for my friend Kevin's party he's having the weekend after that glorious holiday. Well, as usual, I got things confused and really he's having a party at his house, in Chicago. So I think Veronica, Tiffany, and I are actually going up Friday night and staying the weekend with him. I am so excited! It's two birds and one stone, I get to go to Chicago and I get to hang out with Kevin. I'm kinda nervous though, sometimes Kevin is mean but I think generally he will be nice because he is hosting us. Usually he's only mean when we'd hang out too much.
Well, I've been drunk for majority of the week and I'm exhausted and I'm off tomorrow, so clearly that's the day to be sober and sleep- not the days I work. Duh.
As always, stay fresh ta def.
