I'm Back
Okay, so I'm back and I have so much to write. So, I went to the party, I went to Chicago, I went to Wisconsin, I went back to Chicago and came back home. The party was a lot of fun. I felt so distracted the entire time, but not in a bad way. I felt like I was being bombarded with sexual energy and stimulation, but not knowing where to look. There was so much going on; so much noise and action and throbbing. Oh, it was great. The only thing that was slightly frustrating was that I was turned on, but there was nothing I could do. I was in such shock all I could do was watch and try to absorb. The party happened last Thursday, no, wait, the Thursday before last. Friday afternoon I left for Chicago/Wisconsin. Okay, I wouldn't have minded the 21 hour train ride so bad if it hadn't been for the fact that there was this horribly annoying and loud family sitting right in from on me. You know who I'm talking about, the two small kids that scream and yell and fight and talk loud, and the baby that doesn't stop screaming, with the mother who threatens to beat her kids. Ahhhh, lovely. So, we get into Chicago and I'm starving because I hadn't eaten anything except some crackers and oreos, because the food on the train sucked so hard and I didn't have time to get anything else before I got on. I met Cate, Cate's mom and Dylan at the train station and we went to Lou Mitchell's, which I was really excited about because that diner/restaurant was on the Food Network's "The Best Of..." We then drove to Wisconsin and when we got there I napped. That night Cate and I went to dinner with Karina, which was actually quite nice. The next day was Sunday and even though we slept in, we had a nice Sunday lunch, after her parents came back from Church. That day I met her sister, Kirsten, her brother-in-law, Jeremy, and her grandma. It was very nice. Basically, I spent a lot of my time in Shorewood going to all the places that Cate talks about at school. I also knit quite a bit and played Trivial Persuit. That was the most fun! One night Cate, her parents and I played Trivial Persuit, and we all end up laughing hysterically and being totally silly. Leroy, Cate's kitty, didn't know what was going on. SOOOOO FUNNY! We went to the mall too, and made "Build-A-Bears." It's pretty cool. You go in, pick out an empty shell, stuff it, brush it, clothe it and name it, and then you have your very own personalized bear. You can also have it talk or make a noise. The last night I was there (Friday night), two girls from the Macalester College Concert Choir were staying at Cate's house (they had performed at her church and her parents offered to host them for a night) and the two of them, Karina, Cate and I went Midnight Bowling. Well, it was from 10pm until 1 am, but close enough. We had a great time, and Sophie and Annie were a lot of fun. We also went for frozen custard, something I had never even heard of. It was so good, it made me want to curl up and die. Soooo much sweet chocolate! On Saturday I left Shorewood...OH! I also went to the Milwaukee Art Museum, which was pretty cool and mildly disturbing. I felt all cultured and stuff. Right, so, back to Saturday. We left Shorewood after many hugs and smiles. Cate and Karina dropped me off in Chicago after we went for, what else, Chicago-Style pizza. So heavy! After that I met Dylan at the Field Museum, which was fun, but fucking Dylan wouldn't stop talking! I love him, but he's so annoying. Some times I want to reach over and smack him or yell at him to shut up. Moving on. I met Dylan's parents and we drove to get dinner and then to Union Station so that I could catch the train home. *Side note: Dylan is one of the worst drivers I have ever been in a car with! It took him almost 15 minutes to park his tiny car in this huge space. I fucking had to coach him through it!* I get on the train armed with a box of my favorite crackers (Parmesan and Garlic Cheez-Its), a bottle of water, a bottle of soda, three books and my music. Thankfully, I had a little section to myself and could stretch out a bit on the two seats. When I woke up in Pennsylvania I found out that we were running two hours late. I finished my books, my water, my soda, ate some crackers and I was bored. Turns out, we were running three hours late. Twenty four hours later I arrived in New York City and my momma's car. I came home, at a sandwich and fell into bed. That was Sunday. Monday I did nada, yesterday I also did close to nada and today I went to the doctor. Turns out, I do need surgery! How fun! I'll have screws in my knee. Maybe one day I'll have a robotic knee just like Flynn's dad. Okay. I can't write anymore now, but I do have more to say. I don't even have the energy to check my typing. Hand cramps suck...
