Headed to U of I Friday night. Got really pissed off upon arriving, but the night ended up being good none the less. Tay and I watched and episode of GG and got the giggles.
Saturday LouLou, NayNay and I went to Borders. We drank coffee and read/looked at books for a few hours. We went to the pet store cause Luke decided he wanted a pet, but he didn't end up getting one. Then we rented Love Actually and ate Chinese and ice cream. Luke tought me how to punch better buuut i still got my butt kicked in a fight; I have the bruises to prove it.
I had to head back fairly earlyish Sunday to get back for the basketball game.
Right now I'm working on my Lit Review that was due last Tuesday. Awesome.
I'm soo ready for Thanksgiving break.
You guys should give me some new music suggestions.

Went to Chicago Saturday with Scott and Ryan. Howard Zinn was speaking at the University of Chicago; scott was giddy all day long seeing as Howard Zinn is like one of his heroes. We ate at the Chicago Diner before which means deliiiish vegan food. I got enchiladas with vegan chorizo and then vegan pumpkin chocolate cheesecake and ohhhmygosh, it was amazing. The talk was put on by a group trying to abolish the death penalty. Scott got to get his copy of People's History signed afterwards and I even got a picture of him with Zinn sooo I'm pretty sure that made his whole life.
I did notttt get to go see The Toasters, Mustard Plug, Voodoo Glowskulls and Deals Gone Bad with him and Ean on Sunday which did not particularly please me.
This week is kind of a hell week for me, buuut I"m going to U of I this weekend so I just gotta make it through the week!

Fall break went by entirely too quickly, but I had a really good time none-the-less
On Friday Taylor, NayNay, Sean, Josh, Bing, and PP went to Gilson haunted house. It was good as always. Bing fell down about ten bajillion times. We made a fire at NayNay's afterwards, but by the time they got the fire going, we needed to get going. NayNay bought Taylor and I huge lollipops.
I left for MowMow Saturday morning. Went to the parade all alone, and it was boring. I took a nap in the love sac while Scott was at the football game. Scott and I went to see Zombieland, which was actually really funny. That night we all played Rock Band, which turned out to be more fun than I thought it would. Sundayyy Scott and I went and got breakfast at a diner in Monmouth then went to some church there. When we got back I got to see the live version of the musical on Its Always Sunny. Then we went and borrowed a tandem bicycle from some guy and Scott, Ean, and I went on a bikeride to the park. It was sooo much fun to ride! We grabbed some supper afterwards and I headed home.
Monday was a lazy day spent with the family. Pam made me a pumpkin flurry with bits of pumpkin pie, carmel, and pecans all with pumpkin ice cream. Yummmm. Spent the morning/afternoon at my dad's then headed to my mom's. We went and got Mexican food for dinner. Josh and I decided to go to U of I Monday night instead of the next morning so we headed out and got there around midnight.
Tuesday morning I got to take a bath in LouLou's jacuzzi bathtub and it was amazing; I never wanted to get out. Tay eventually made her way tto the apartment. We went to the grocery store then played at a playground near LouLou's. We hung out there for the day; TAy and I watched Gilmore Girls while Josh and LouLou played Madden. Before leaving U of I, Josh Taylor and I went to Panera for dinner, and then got dessert at some frozen yogurt place where you can put whatever stuff you want in it; it was delishhh.
Now it's only a three day week at school. Kind of only a two day week cause I'm going to a rally tomorrow for Illinois MAP grants so I'm skipping classes.
This was long so in case you didn't want to read the whole thing:
Friday-haunted house
Saturday and Sunday-MowMow

Friday I had to work all day, but it was fine cause that meant I got moneys. After much convincing, Brenda and Erik finally talked me into riding bikes with everyone that night. We rode to Morton, stopped for a bit there, then went back to Peoria. It was like twenty four miles andddd I felt like I was going to die. I knew perfectly well I couldnt keep up with them, that I'm not even close to as strong of a rider as them, and that I'm not even as in shape as most of them buuuuut Brenna stayed back with me the way there and Tyler did on the way back so I made it back alive. After we got back we watched an episode of Its Always Sunny then headed to bed around 3.
Brenna and I got up around 8 and went to the Farmers Market at the Riverfront. It was really neat; I got some super cute halloween hair bows. Then around noon I went to the pumpkin festivallll with people. Sooo much yummy food; a pumpkin doughnut, some pumpkin ice cream, and an apple cider slush. I took a nap when I got home then headed to a pizza making party thing. It was good times and good company. Jake picked me up around 11:30 and we went back to ERik and Tyler's room and watched the movie 'The Last Kiss' then headed to bed.
This morning we got up and all went to brunch around 11. The rest of the day was spent sitting at my computer and not doing the homework I told myself I was going to do. Went to Avanti's for dinner and ended up having to buy Tyler a gondola cause he won a bet. Now I"m updating this instead of writing my multiple papers and studying for my test.
I want this week to go by fasttttt

Never correct anybody's English. Oh-so-educated you know when to use she and him and that everyone takes the singular verb. Whoopie for you! Keep that knowledge to yourself. Nobody wants to have his English corrected, and to prove it, he will say: "Oh, thank you. I never get that right! Ha ha." Then he will kill you. Between you and I, it's safer for everyone to keep their mouth shut...

Riot Fest this year is the 7th-11th of October. Last year we only went for one day, but I think this year we're gonna try and go for at least two, probably the 10th and 11th. Pretty sure Jake and Brenda won't be going again this year sooo it'd be nice to have more people to make it a full carload!
Some of the bands playing areeee Dead Milkmen, Cock Sparrer, Youth Brigade, NOFX, Teenage Bottlerocket, Butthole Surfers, Flatfoot 56, and The Aggrolites.
Favorites from last year that unfortunately will not be there again includeeee Casualities, Mustard Plug, Mighty Mighty Bostones, and Leftover Crack.
Sooo pretty much it will be a good time and people should come with us :) And I'm just going to pretend that it's a sure thing I'm going, even though it's not

I got all moved into the dorm this morning. I decided to go ahead and get a parking permit too so I could keep my car here. Too bad I have an irrational fear of parking garages and that's what I have to park in.
Saturday they're playing I Love You Man on the quad so I wanna go watch that. Then Sunday is Taste of Bradley and Late Night BU.
Buuuut Brenna's not going to be here 'til Monday so I"m all alone in my dorm until then which suuuucks. Tyler's getting here Sunday which is nice, buuut I"m still going to be alone for a few days. So I propose you all come visit me pretty please.

I am already bored with my hair. It's just so darn plain and normal.
I need some color in it.
After Amber's wedding, I wanna go purple.
But there's a problem cause right now I'm working for the man meaning I am supposed to have normal colored hair.
I will find a way around it though.

The last twenty-four hours have been pretty great.
Last night Nathan, Luke, Taylor, and I went swimming at the lake. I think we said 'b hole' at least one hundred and one times. I laughed a whole lot. We got back to Luke's around 2 and he made us cookie dough and grilled cheese sammiches. It was the best.
We got up this morning and Brittney, Taylor and I went to Galesburg. We ate a delicious lunch at Inkeepers Coffee. I got one of my favorite drinks everrrr, their tuxedo frozen hot chocolate. We went and swam/canoed at Lake Storey. For some reason we think it's a good idea every time to jump out of the canoe and then try to get back in; you'd think we would learn that it is hard as hell buuuut we always do it anyways. We went on adventures and Taylor almost got a hook caught in her leg. After our joyous canoe ride we decide it would be fun to bury me in the sand, and being the mateur adults that we are, we decided it would be a good idea to sculpt some boobs and a penis. They do so and proceed to take pictures, but then we decide it would be even funnier to make an erect penis. They finish , and we are admiring our work when we hear a loud "UUUAAAAAGGGHHHH" sound followed by "it's a penis!!!" A little boy with his mother just so happened to look upon our work of art. My reaction was to punch the penis to destroy it, while Taylor fell to the ground and Brittney continued to take pictures. We decide that it's probably a good time to leave, but as we're walking away the little boy passes us and says disgustedly "You guys are sick!!!"
There are pictures and they will be posted eventually

Dad and I played tennis today. It was so freaking hot. It was a lot of fun though, and I was actually better than last time I played, although that isn't saying much cause last time I was HORRIBLE.
And for my LJ friends that I'm not real-life friends with, I brushed out my dreads! I did it over the course of like a month. It hurt like hell, and I miss them buuuuut it really is nice having normal hair back. And I got to say "I told you so" to everyone that said I would have to shave my head when I wanted to get rid of them!

This weekend was grand
Friday we went out to eat for Pam's birthday, we threw bouncy balls and jaw breakers at my dad's bald spot, we almost wrecked the car from my dad throwing bouncy balls out the window, and Scott watched Harry Potter while I slept thrrough most of it
Saturday Tay, my mom, and I went to Amber's bridal shower; it was at a place called her majesty's tea room. It was pretty amazing even though I don't like tea. We got to wear crowns. Then Tay and I h eaded to her bachelorette party which was a sex toy party; it was funny and there were delish chocolate covered strawberries. After everyone left I headed to Chicago with Amber, her sisters, and her mom.
"Today we went to the field museum and then relaxed by the lake front before heading home
I am hopefully going to sleep so well tonight

Saw the Wailers on the Riverfront last night. I was debating whether I wanted to go or not, but I'm definitely glad I did. It was a lot of fun dancing, they played great, and of course there were plenty of people to laugh at.
Scott and I went on a bike ride/picnic today. It was nice, but I almost died cause it was windy and I am out of shape.
Tuesday we're gonna go to starved rock again which should be fun.
It's crunch time people, time to do everything fun before people go back to schooool
