..still trying to figure out what happened this weekend. hmm..
i picked up rita on my way home from chicago on friday, and she left yesterday. friday, we watched the new degrassi. Saturday, we hid out at my grandparents house because my house was being angry at us. It was actually very nice. They were excited to have people over, aka, their granddaughters, so they went all out and made us dinner AND dessert :) 'Twas cute. Then we went over to Dusty's that night and stayed there and drank.
Drunken quotes of the night include:
"I couldn't go to the bathroom because there was a huge COKEroach in there. Wait, i mean cockroach. Actually, it was a spider"-Rita
Dusty, is there pineapple juice in here?-Me
Yes, i put Peach Schnapps in it. -Dusty
"Hey guys, am i sleeping??? Or am I awake??"-Me
COUSIN ARM HUG!
Sunday morning we came back home, and we went to Rita's Aunt Carole's party she had at her house for the entire day, came back,and fell asleep really early, because we had family overload.
Yesterday, Rita left and I went to Andrew's house, where Tom and Andrew attacked my feet with bottlerockets. Fireworks make me jump. Then we went to Spring Grove for the fireworks, but got there too late, then went back to Andrew's house. Once we got there, his stepbrother called and said they were shooting off more fireworks at his mom's house, so we went over there. Andrew's mom is so cute. She made them take me to their stables to show me their 8 kittens and 26 baby chickens. Aww. Afterward, we (me, andrew, tom) just laid on the grass and looked at the stars, because they live on a ton of property, which is prime star-watching area.
Yep.

Yesterday I bit the bullet and decided it was time to go see Cameron in Chicago. I said to hell with my nerves and set on my journey at about 4 oclock, but traffic was terrible once i got into the city, so it took me 2 hours and 15 minutes to get there. When we were on the L, he got a call saying there was a bbq/party for one of his friend's birthdays, so we got off at Belmont and headed over there which made me quite apprehensive because it was the first time i was meeting all of his friends. There were about 7 people there at first, and they were all pretty nice. However, at about or 10, a TON of people came and everyone was drinking and getting drunk except for me, so I wasn't having that great of a time and wanted to leave, but i only wanted a momentary break, but Deb went off to Pilsen.
..Then it got better. This guy Justin gave me a beer.. and another one.. and another one.. Then Cameron's best friend Ardy made me a drink, but no one told me not to take drinks from him because he makes them strong enough to get you drunk with only one. Well, being already more than slightly intoxicated, I finished that off in about a minute, then soon realized I could no longer see straight. The rest of the night was spent having heart to heart conversations with all of Cameron's friends. This young kid who i think is still either in high school, or just graduated, gave me his number and MYSPACE address on a Coor's Light box. It turns out some of the people there ride, and a few even knew some of my bmx buddies from up here! Wild. The entire population there went to Columbia basically, except for Justin's gf, who goes to Depaul, and we discussed apartments.
We left at about 4 in the morning, went to get food, then got back to his apartment at about 5 and spent the next 4 hours talking and playing Saves the Day songs on his guitar. Goodgood times (: More visits will be had in the near future.
Then we fell asleep for a couple of hours, but i woke up with a TERRIBLE headache, so I left right away so I could get home.
This week Liz and I are trying to get down there to talk to the apartment people to ease some of our anxieties.
I think i am switching majors. Adios Sociology, hola Real Estate.

ahhh today was a good day. My mom and I went shopping then i came home and watched some weird made for tv movie. Then I went to J.R.'s house and Sarah came over and we went to Dino's and got weirded out by the conversations the table behind us was having. THENNN, we went to the midnight showing of Land of the Dead!! It was my very first zombie movie, and i will admit that i loved it. I was one of the ones that kept semi-shrieking and J.R. and I kept crashing into each other because we were jumping.
We saw sooo many people we knew there. First, I spotted Andrew and Tom, so i talked to them for awhile, then all of these old Carmel people came in, but yeah, no talky to them.
Eric texted me saying to go a party in Libertyville, so I called my cousin Eric to see if he was going, and he was,so I was going to stop by after the movie, but cousin Eric kept calling during it and when i called him back, he was freakin' out because he thought I was in jail. Apparently, he got there and no one was there because the cops came and took a bunch of people in. The first thing he said to me was "ALLISON! ARE YOU IN JAIL?!?" Hah, i love that kid. He's investing in diamonds.. yeah.
Liz, if i haven't talked to you by the time you read this, call me, got it, missy?

I got really really dark in Michigan because the only thing to do there was lay on my uncle's beach on Lake Michigan. The trip wasn't too shabby. The car ride back was fun because Rita and I were really really hyper. Then a guy at a gas station barked at me; i'm not sure what that was all about.
However, on the car ride back, I got really pensive and started thinking about everything that has happened the last two years of my life. Then I got home, checked myspace, and WHOA, there was a message from Gus on there, APOLOGIZING. Mind you, i have't talked to him since February of last year, after he ran off to FL for a new job without giving me any notice basically. Lo and behold, we started talking on aim, and he said he's been trying to contact me since then but had no way of doing it since he moved and changed his number, so he decided to search for me on myspace. weird. I got all upset though because I thought i was past everything, but seeing his pictures and talking to him and hearing him say he made a mistake was like a slap in the face. GRRRRRRR. I know it doesn't matter now though.
Since I couldn't use my cell phone up in the U.P. for the past 4 days, people thought i was dead, since i have that text message addiction. I got about 4 texts from different people saying "Are you alive?" or "Are you dead??" Hah. Fizz left me two funny voicemails going on about how he's trying to figure out if my phone was dead or broken because it kept going to voicemail, then he went on a rant about his orange soda from a bottle he was drinking :)
Cameron wants me to visit him today, so hopefully i can make it down there and see a lotta people.

seeing as how i am in a dire money situation, i took a babysitting job for the day. 10 hours, 2 overly dramatic blond girls, 5 bike rides, 4 temper tantrums, 3 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and 2 skinned knees later, i am 75 bucks richer. erg.
this job-hunting stuff sucks.
this week went by fast and tomorrow i'm off to michigan.
i hung out with rita a couple of days, along with dusty and greg some other days. Nagchompa is wonderfulllll.
I'll be back on tuesday or wednesday. feel free to entertain me with texts. i'm pretty sure the UP isn't going to be too hoppin'.

Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?
I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move
The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow
I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go
We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand....until you hold my hand
I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

that means i'm giddy and excited :)
this also means this is going to be a girly post about the boy named Cameron I met at the ASA party.
I didn't get to see him on Saturday, so I texted him today asking if we could hang out before I have to leave on Thursday and we decided on either Tuesday or Thursday. Then he texted me asking what i'm up to tonight and soon, he was on his way over :)
I will admit I was a little bit worried because, well, I only met him on Friday night and I thought it could end up awkward.
However, I walked outside and we started talking right away. We ended up walking around Lincoln Park and ended up at the lakefront (my 2nd time being there in one day) and we walked along the beach for 4 hours!!!!! (<--loves the beach)
As girly and cheesy as this sounds, it was seriously straight out of a movie. We ended up by some rocks on the water, and laid there and STARED AT THE STARS!! Anyone that knows me knows that i LOVE the sky, so this was an amazing moment.
THen we kept walking and stopped at a bench and just talked even more. We looked up, and saw a PARK right across from us, so of course we had to swing on the swings. After about an hour of hanging there, we decided to head back because I have a final at 845 :(
We parted ways at the Belmont L station for the 2nd time in 3 days after a wonderful wonderful night. He said to call him the next time i'm free and i'm seeing that in the near future ;)
I'm still giddy.
;)

It seemed like a really long weekend, considering it's only Sunday morning.
Liz and I had every intention of going apartment hunting on Friday, but that didn't work out because we get distracted too easily. Matt came over on Friday and we all took a nap while watching D3, then woke up and went out to dinner. Jenna and Pete and us then began to drink in the dorms and then Eddie and Jessie came and we left for the ASA party. As i'm writing this, i vaguely remember the walk there, because we had to stop at Dominick's to go to the bathroom hah.
Once we got to the party, Liz and Jonathon made one of the highlights of my night:
50 CENT CHUG AND SPITALFIELD SINGING! Fun fun fun
That was the last i saw of Liz.. Well, actually I saw her when she told me she was leaving because she threw up on herself. Nice one, Delores ;)
http://community.webshots.com/album/361772055pBalNo <---some random party pictures
Hmmm.. what else.. I ended up talking to this awesome kid from Columbia the entire night and he gave me his number and said he was going to call me the next day so we could set up a date, which he did (:(: Then out of nowhere, I walked into Andrew Wallor! I haven't seen him since high school and all of as sudden he shows up at an ASA party.. weird.
Then the boy i was with all night walked Matt and I back to the dorms at 4 in the morning and we parted ways. Sigh. We ended up texting eachother til 5am then I fell asleep, but woke up at 730 and was sooo bored because no one was up.
Matt woke up at 1, we walked to Belmont, got lunch, then went to the Belmont house to hang out with Liz, Deb, and James. Then we picked up our backpack full of goods from ASA and walked back. The boy ended up calling me asking to hang out, but i'm a douchebag and sounded mean because I got nervous.. I didn't get to see him last nite.. :( Erg.
Then Matt left and Deb came over and I made her itchy. James joined us and we watched The Lost Boys during which I fell asleep. At 2am, I came back up to my room and Zach camped out with me in here. This morning I was woken up by him hitting his head on my desk muahah :)
Today I have to write 2 papers and study for a final.

Last night you called me up asking if I was home yet. You wanted to hang out.
...
Last time we talked was almost two months ago and you said neither of us had any desire to talk to the other.
