HAH. BRILLIANTLY HYSTERICAL

I might be wrong on this. But it seems as if these college age boys are loving the tiny shorts, girly characters and dance moves. They plan their parts so well! Apparently this was a fundraiser variety show put on by college sports teams... LOVING IT

In other news...

Chicago Trip was FANTASTIC.
(for all who care and are bored and have time to waste and hate their lives enough to spend time on mine... otherwise, this is for my own personal records of life)

I will go in order so not to skip things overshadowed by even more fantastic things.

Thursday- Get on bus. Jenna meets me at Union.
We go to Panera Bread by Union. It was crowded & great.
Then we took some buses back to her apartment at 9th and state.
We hung out and caught up for a bit until she had to go to work. Then, cooper stopped by the apartment for a minute & we walked down state street where I met Giovanna.
Me and Giovanna got on the EL and went out to Fullerton to hang out with Christina for a little while. Then we all got on the train and started walking towards Dwight lofts at Clark and Harrison so I could meet up with Pat Bley. He seemed to just appear before me a block before we got to Dwight so that was a nice surprise! It was good seeing him. So me and Pat hung out, I met his roommate Dexter. We explored the graffiti floor of his building & I left a mark…Welcome! And something else I cannot remember! IT WAS SWEET. Then, Jenna met up with us …wait maybe we got dinner… Oh I think OHHHH. I know. Me and pat got on a train and met Jenna at Portillos on Grand! I got a red balloon for her from a trashcan at the Harrison redline stop which was let free in Portillos. OH Funny story. I always am commenting on clothing, seems to magnify when I am with Jenna…but anyhow. At the train station I saw this lady with gray tights over her skinny, skinny legs. I commented. THEN AT PORTILLOS, we saw the same lady!!! What are the chances?! After Portillos, we put our chocolate cake shake cups in Coopers bike spokes and …somewhere in there we went up to the graffiti floor to show Jenna. . . and then Pat came over Jennas apartment and we all watched the Sex and the City movie…only I think it was hell for the two of them : ( DON’T CARE. I just love that movie to bits.

And that is Thursday.
Friday…Oh Jenna had an RVA emergency! The first one!! Figures I would be visiting during it. Anyhow, I read vogue for an hour or so and then get ready for the day. I call Pat and we go to breakfast…umm somewhere. OH at Chicago Carry-out…a gem in the city + a lot of greasy yummy food! I passed by it so often last year!! And there are so many good student deals. NEXT SEMESTER MAN! So we eat there then walk down Michigan… stop in the student bookstore so I can get some dang orange juice, After we stopped in the new architecturally magnificent Spertus Institute (I was hoping they would have the OJ…instead we walked into a conference…oops). Then we decided to go check out Jack Keroac (sp*)’s scroll. I need to read that still* It was a pretty nice exhibit. After this I went and hung out at Pats apartment where we hung out with roommate Mike… then uhh Jenna got back from RVA so I went over to the apartment. I feel like I am forgetting something. After this adventure with Pat Jenna and Kiersty. Then we all went to Rilee’s for Bday celebration though the poor babe had her wallet stolen : ( We all got slightly add a verb . It was a fun time with lots of cleaning due to some redics. We took a cab home nonetheless.

Friday…wait no, It is now Saturday.

Let’s see.
I woke up early (1000) because I had foolishly made EARLY plans with Eddie. Though our day was quite splendid. Always a splendid day had with Eddie. THE PROBLEM: I STILL DID NOT GET A PICTURE OF US TOGETHER ARE YOU KIDDING ME. So anywhoey. Eddie picks me up MEETS JENNA FOR THE FIRST TIME. . . which I feel like they met ages ago so I wasn’t even polite to introduce them. We take the car and decide we need to get some food. We park on like IL or something after we see this quaint little diner called Mary’s right off of upper MI ave. I will never again order grilled cheese and forget to substitute cheddar for disgusting chemicalized American. Good lord. I cannot believe I forgot. Then we went up to Mich ave and went to the Freedom Museum. Which is definitely worth a look. Kind of an overview of year long history classes I have taken. Wish I would have just gotten credits for going to this museum. I took a picture with cardboard obama here. After this we walked down the ave randomly stopping in shoe stores, hoping to have a successful day on my everlasting quest for the perfect low heeled black boots. We then walk up to the Ralph Lauren grill and somehow got a table in these comfy smoking chairs right in front of a fireplace. It was delightful. We had calamari and duhh, key lime pie. Cant have a day go wrong if key lime pie is in it. They eddie suggests we go back to burberry for the coat and boots we saw. I don’t say much about this and we leave. When we pass burberry he suggests I just try on the coat. I do and after much discussion, I have a coat being sent to my house next week. Um. Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Sometimes I cannot handle the things of life. I just need to figure out how to show Eddie how much I appreciate him. Any suggestions? While this madness is going on, Jenna calls and said WOAH the concert starts at 5 and NOT 8 like we thought! We go pick her up from Ann, luckily they let her leave early & we take off to get ready. Eddie waited for us and drove us to the “cabrini green” area of town. AKA our concert location. Steel train was utterly phenom. Just like we knew they would be. After a minor set-back freakout instigated by Jennas idea that our lead singer of the night would be a scrawny kid in a black zip up hoodie, and not psycho Jack, we danced our little selves silly and I seriously loved every second of it. Drunk Devon and Cooper and Doug and Colin and . . . I know there was someone else, showed up but because they are ill in the head, they left BEFORE the best band for the soul played. Idiots. That’s all I can say. After the concert me and Jenna found our feet taking us along Lake street all the way to a train station. We had to run, and im not lying. UPHILL TWO MILES to make that green line train. I thought I might have an asthma attack and die right then and there. But I didn’t. I overcame my lungs bad habits. We eventually got to Bacci pizza and of course it was great, not to mention take the lead (a movie) with Antonio banderez was on (when is it not on) so we watched the finale dances. After Baccis…um. . . I suppose we went back and slept. . . hmm. I am blanking out spout.

Sunday…
I again made early plans. This time with Fred, my dad. It was good seeing him and he just got back from a retreat so he was slightly bogged down by thoughts. We had some really deep interesting conversations throughout the day. Several times I thought I was going to burst into tears… and this was not even because of what we were talking about. Nothing of importance would be the topic and my mind floods with thoughts when im around dad. What the hell. Anyhow, we went to wishbone restaurant. After we walked and ended up Inside of oprah’s store. Um, hello branding. Then we stumbled upon an open house, went inside, met a realator Kathleen who I am hoping is working with dad to find us a place right now. After this we walked around the block and ended up in Dunkin donuts : ) we sat here and talked A LONG WHILE…this is where the deep conversations about my childhood happened. If it weren’t for the hot chocolate I would have been crying the entire time. Luckily I just kept sipping and burning my tongue over and over again to keep my strong face. (don’t know how that worked out but it did). Dad gave me this really nice zip up with a cool design on it and a necklace with a PIES circle (physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual). After this we drove off to the Marc by Marc Jacobs store which was fabulous. Funny guy dad says to a sales lady (a super marc Jacobs looking lady) and says, “have you met Shelby Jacobs…” yeah .about that. That’s my dad : ) … After this we went to a super affordable fresh vegetable/fruit market called stanley’s and I could not stop being in awe by the colors everywhere. I wish I would have had my film camera. Every five seconds I wanted to take a picture, and every five seconds I realized I was without old trusty filmster. After this dad drove me to Burberry so I could talk to sales associate Tash aka my roommate from last year. We made dinner plans then dad dropped me off at Rilees to meet up with Stephen. It really was great seeing dad. We talked about me coming to stay with him for December and January so I can get the Oakbrook house ready to sell! WHAT? Sell the oak brook house?! Yea, I think dad finally realized living in the city is so much more efficient for a life of happiness, not to mention I think it is hitting him his family will be in the city, so why not go where the sheep go…or whatever it is. Stephen drove me to meet up with tasha and we went to TGI Fridays. Good catching up, funny catching up. After this I hopped the 146 and went back to the apartment where me and kierce fierce lectured jenna on something very important and came up with some fabulous sentencing: IADT, IADL. Anyhow.

Monday
Me and Jenna woke up. She had class. I had a bus to catch. A MEGA bus. . . hah. hah. uhhh. hah.

She walked me to the corner of balbo and state we said our goodbyes and like magic a cab appeared. i got in and took off to union.

fabulous how that works.

Fantastic Weekend.
I have missed Jenna quite a TON. I have also learned I have a very opinionated best friend. Go figure. GO FIGURE. This is good though, she is inspiring me to want to figure out what it is I believe in and what it is I can do for the world and that my friends, is something that is becoming a big deal to me, though it is still in the very baby almost fetus stages of thought.

We shall see whats next for me I suppose.

oh-ay oh-ay --- oh-ay oh-ay



It is funny. I have always been annoyed by the lack of creativity in title of the NOW collection of CD's they sell on infomercials. 

But now that I think of it, I have always had a playlist called Now which was regularly updated with the songs I was listening to that week, or that month. Recently I burned a CD with the songs on that playlist to listen to on my long drives I have been taking. 

As i said last entry, I was going to make a new CD. Well, I didnt even realize it until now that that playlist was named Now 2...

WOAH SHIT I AM BECOMING A PERSON OF LITTLE CREATIVITY. 
fanfuckingtastic.

Either way:

Funny thing. As i was typing these songs out, I was wishing I was in my car right now listening to them. Funnier thing, I am on my computer, and so is this playlist.

I suppose I just like the sound and freedom of hearing it all in the car, soaking it all in all by my lonesome self. 
does everyone feel this way?

Anyhow, it finally gives me something to be excited about when it comes to driving since i have to do so much driving these days.

Well Fuck That



I wish the voting ballot would be set up like this:

a)McCain
b)Obama
c)None of the above

I realize that would leave us with no one really... and that it is the worst idea ever, but I don't feel like I actually no a true thing about either one of them, and its frustrating. I think that is why our age group has the smallest number of voters, we all are just so confused and pissed off by all the BS, that we just give up on it.

or...maybe thats just my dumbass opinion.

Either way.

Today was exhausting, woke up for internship, went to work after that for my second day waitressing= oh man oh man oh man.

We are making big strides at TS though.
Slightly worried this may cause me to stay home for either more summers, or more semesters, or oh man. Hopefully we can get the company to a point where it moves out of MI & into some fabulous town, where I can finish my degree at some fabulous school. . . or whatever happens. 

Or maybe I shouldn't worry about that kind of thing now.
but still. . . Chicago is dreamland, & like a dreamland, seems so far away & unaccessible & unwilling to fit into any logical plan.

well fuck that.

p.s.
I am making a new car CD. I have been listening to the same songs for the last three weeks straight. I need change...& thats what Obama is gonna get us... or maybe not.

60 Years & Counting.



Songs to turn a frown upside down:

Multiply- Jamie Lidell

: ) 

In other news,

Along with school, my internship, and my job. 

I am getting another job.

In even further news,

I am done waiting on people to grow up.
aka. I am done waiting on people who do not have the decency to try and understand things that are different.

I need people in my life that live off of what is the truth.
I need people that don't tell me what I want to hear.
I need people that don't make me decide everything.
I need people that let me laugh at what I feel like laughing at...even if it is not not NOT funny whatsoever to them.

That's all I really need.
Ciao. It is late.
Grandparents 60th Anniversary tomorrow.
Good for them.
60 years.
Wowza.

number two, who knows if this will continue much longer.


something new to my ears

besides that.

completely uneventful day. Discovered a liking for another celebrity diva- tori spelling & her most adorable husband dean. 

i want a life like theirs for a least four months of my life.

& besides that. today was a nothing day. 
seems to reoccur here daily in commerce.
one day i will get out out out. 
and be free again. 

stephen and dad found a good apartment today. 8th & state baby. only problem is a few other people are looking at it right now.

god please. god please. god please.

& that's all i have to say about that. 

i miss my friends. i hope they know how void my life feels without them. even the friends that don't think i think about them ever, i am most likely thinking about them too. 




10.12.2008

AHH SHIT. WHY AM I DOING THIS.



i have a blog now.

it's quite interesting this blog thing.

i am going to censor my life now.

can't wait...

i think i may get bored of this quite quickly as i don't really have much to share with the world.

maybe i'll come up with something later.
