Guess whose back? Back again? Went to Phoenix. I can't even begin to describe my week and a half. First of all, my free ticket ended up costing me $530! I lost my free ticket and had to purchase another one... thanks mom! I psuedo-helped Corey move into his new place the first weekend, and it's pretty darn nice! Pool is in a great location. I relaxed by the pool and drank rum during the day and saw my friends at night. It was awesome to see Glenn and Jeri! There are a few things I would have done differently, but my head is in a very strange place right now, and I did not feel like myself at all the whole time I was there. Corey is a great friend and someone who I will always care very much about. I am so grateful to know him. I'll post the pictures soon. I think I took plenty.
I am very worried about my friend Julie. I talked to her for almost three hours last night and I am going up north this weekend to see her. I love you, girl. Can't wait to give you a big hug!

Got my Arizona pictures back, there is one that I just love. I look like I have FARMS (fat arms, for you slow ones) in every single pic I take lately. Thank God sleeve season is upon us. So, the Boilermakers won this weekend. The game sucked, they should have KILLED this crappy-ass team. What is going to happen when we have to play teams that are actually good? I am pumped for Homecoming. All sorts of people are coming out of the woodwork for that one. Yacht Club roadkill fries with Jessi in the AM, then sat with Dad for the first half of the game and Jessi for the rest of it. Meggers and a very drunk Bishop were walking around the stadium (nice job on the non-student section half of the stadium, by the way. The bathrooms are HUGE and SMELL LIKE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!!) Went to Carrie and Holly's trashed (but fine location) apartment. I miss those crazy 99ers. Got some unexpected stuff back from Derek. Some out of style, too large for me (Yay!) clothes and some dirty dishes. Then off to Meggaroos apt. to chase her guiena pig and meet her fun friends. I got to drink some moonshine Long Islands at Harry's on Saturday night. That hot Fiji Dustin had some serious Heath Ledger "10 Things I Hate About You" hair, but he is still super fly. Caught up with Rachel, still working on a master's. A series of tragic events led me back to the one place I told myself not to return. Slept in seperate rooms tho, for once. The more things change, the more they stay the same. I drove back to Indy around 11 to curl up in the fetal position and watch a Real World New Orleans marathon. Once you turn that shit on, I swear, you have to watch until the things ends and they all go their seperate ways. Boo hoo. The Vegas premiere is tomorrow. The people get worse every time. By worse, I mean, better to watch, like a train wreck. Bring it on!

Ok, I was not dissapointed by the Real World premeire. Jessi and I are ever so excited, it is going to be scandalous! we agree that Trishelle is trashy and that Steve is a moron. I think Frank looks like my college friend Rob, but she does not agree, but we both like him the best. Brynn is annoying and starved for attention, and eveyone else seems pretty non-descript, they need more airtime I think. That Alton is a hottie. I want to thank Tim for an awesome meal at The Melting Pot on Wednesday night. Fondue is my new favorite thing. Thanks again, Fred!
Anyway, I am off the Chicago this weekend. I have an interview at a design school on Saturday, then a night of debauchery with Jeff in Lincoln Park. We are even going to catch "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" IN GREEKTOWN on Sunday. I have never been to Greektown, sadly enough, so I am pumped! I have already seen MBFGW, but it is hysterical and I would love to see it again.
How excited am I that Conan O'Brien is going to be shown at 7 on Comedy Central? I am in love with Conan. He had Robin Williams on yesterday and I was laughing my ass off up in the break room. I love Dave too (I think Jay Leno sucks and has no soul), but Conan will always be my favorite. He is just so damn random. I dig when someone can laugh at themselves. I always fall asleep with my lame ass before Conan comes on, so I am tickled pink. Thanks Comedy Central!

What a weekend! I got into school at IAD+T (International Academy of Design & Technology) in Chicago. I start January 13th if I decide this is what I really want to do. My mother is all for it. I almost talked myself out of it (why? MORE school and MORE debt via student loans... ish) but she talked me back into it. I hung out with Julie on Friday night and watched Monsters, Inc. which is the cutest movie EVER!
I went to my "interview" at IAD+T at 2 (parking $15!!!) and met Lauren... she rules! I left very excited about going to school there. Now, to find a job...
I met Jeff at a bar after his soccer game and then we went back to his place so he could shower. He took me to an awesome resteraunt then we hopped a cab to Second City (home of Chicago-based SNLers) The show was sold out, so we decided to drink and catch the 11pm show. I got pretty damn tipsy (thanks for the extra shot of yager, Mr. Clean!) so I don't remember much of the show, but I think it was pretty damn funny (????) Great, great night.
I watched "Life As A House at my parent's before the trek back to Indy. Sweet flick. That Hayden Christensen is a hot box. Good God! he is my ideal... Full pouty lips, doe eyes, cute nose, lean and great ass. YUMMMY!I might have to add a page for him. This weekend was filled with quality entertainment, and I got to sit on my ass alot. Mommy likey. I got back in time to watch Conan host the Emmy's. He is so damn funny, I about pissed myself. A few reviewers have already slammed him, but they can kiss my ass, because he was amazing. Love that guy more than ever.

The last day of September... aaah. Where is my life going? I feel like it is on fast foward and I dropped the damn remote under my bed, the batteries popped out of the back (it has no battery cover because I lost that long, long ago) and now I am totally powerless to press the STOP button. I am also too lazy to get up and press stop manually. Shit. It is sad when the highlight of your weekdays is new episodes of "The Real World." That Trishelle must be stopped! Now she is making out with chicks and Road Rulers too. Whatta skank!
Homecoming was FUN TIMES! My abs still hurt from laughing so damn hard. So does my ass and leg and foot from falling down the damn stairs at Pizza King. I loved when the guy wrote and held up a "10" on his menu. *BOW* Ah, Purdue. No where else would you be able to milk a guy dressed up like a cow in a bar at 11am. AND WE WON! YEEEHA! So, I drove home at 3am because I just wanted my own bed. But I almost fell asleep, so I pulled off in Attica to "rest my eyes" and almost got hit by a wayward semi. What a way to go.
Shout out to all my Reading Room, CP, Gemini, 99 homies and Sal for the hospitality at What Up. ( I am WAY too old to be in that meat market anymore. Man, I used to rule that place. WAH!) But the Long Islands are still gasoline-strong. Awesome.
That alumni meeting was one hell of a buzzkill, but I am now the official WEBMASTA. Wap-pow!
