so it is the end of the summer and i have done very little of what i wanted to do. this summer has been a bust. its been filled with family drama, personal rollercoasters, and alot of TV. I would do anything to be going back to Carbondale this fall. Fuck, i would do anything to have an apprenticeship right now.

Um...theres alot of things i would be willing to do to get to where i wish i was right now. Sadly most of it is out of my control at the time so i guess ill just have to work with what i've got.

I went to Decatur, Illinois this weekend. My best friend from college and the girl i lived with for the majority of the time i was at SIU is leaving for a job in Maine. She got her funding to make it there and left today. I went down Friday to say goodbye. It's only a 3 hour drive so it wasn't that far. I had a great time going out with her and seeing her hometown. She is actually from Mt. Zion but it's right next door to Decatur.

this is the picture frame i gave her.


her friends were throwing a white trash bash. on our way we stopped to pick up some beer and i found her keys.....in her trunk. she had been looking for them for over a week.


my hair is so pretty right when its dyed.


We left there and went to downtown Decatur in an attempt to meet up with her friends. we got to the bar kind of late. Everything was so crowded because they were having the Decatur Celebration that weekend. Some cute guys asked us if we needed a place to wait out all the hustle and bustle and hide from the cops for a bit. it was a neat corner apartment. best thing about it.....cute young boys who were alllll about me. too bad ive heard the wanna give each other back massages in that dark room line before.
she looked pretty in that dress.


so Marybeth pulled me away from the youngins right around the time i was about to fall in to one of their clutches....i think im sad about that....anyway i got a nice goodbye kiss out of the deal. So we drove to her other friends house. He is an amazing artist! I wish i had taken pictures. i was in awe over the art on the walls. just amazing, granted i was drunk and a little stoned too but it was still amazing. Everyone decided to go sit on the roof outside the kitchen window. In my drunkeness i decided i didnt want to sit on a roof so i stayed inside. But she looked so pretty framed in the window.


so the story behind this pic....the guy that lived there apparently decided he was going to be an ass. he kept putting his hand infront of my camera and messing up my shot. i was feeling all arty and drunk and was trying to take a serious picture, not just a drunken snapshot. i asked him to stop. he replied saying that it was his house and he would do whatever the fuck he wanted. i asked him if that involved being a dick. he got all up in arms and told me to apologize and got right in my face about it. his sister told me to just apologize. to which i told her fuck no i didnt do anything wrong. i was trying to take a picture and he was being a dick about it. he told me i was going to apologize for calling him a dick because it was his house and i was going to do what he said. my response? i am not your bitch and i will do no such fucking this. i asked him to move out of my way so i could get out of his house. he insisted on following me downstairs to make sure i found the front door cursing me out and calling me a cunt all the way there. once at the door he said theres it is fucking use it. and i did. i didnt need his help finding the door. i sat on the curb and waited for marybeth.

in the car we talked about it and she reassured me i hadnt done anything wrong and that no one stands up to him and that apparently women in Decatur don't usually stand up for themselves against men. FUCK. i knew i was 3 hours south but i didnt think i was THAT south. i dont care if i was labeled the Northern Bitch. I wasn't going to put up with someone being that much of as ass to me.

the next day we had a get together at the mexican resturant and ate good food and a goodbye cake.

we went out again that night after a much needed nap.

a pretty pierced girl who was also a piercer gave me some kisses at the bar.


i wasnt in the greatest mood that night cuz i wasnt feeling very pretty and i was tired. i drunkenly decided that this giant water bottle was the best thing in the world to buy at 4am after steak and shake.


btw Decatur smells funny. There is a large corn and soy bean processing plant. smells awful. like old dry dog food. ick.

so that was my weekend. i've got to help my sister go back to school tomorrow. shes going back to ISU in Bloomington-Normal. Shes not that far but i'm going to miss my sister alot. I also get my first paycheck from my job on thursday. I plan on getting another below the belt piercing.

If you get a chance stop by Dorsal's page. I think she has her little baby girl last night. I don't want to bug her so im not sure yet but i know she was being admitted to labor and delivery last night around 7pm. Hopefully she had a smooth delivery. Can't wait to see pics of baby Scarlett!
