December 6th : day 10

so its our last day in minneapolis. Jessen and i really wanted to see the Mississippi River, so we woke up a little earlier than the rest and went to see it. Dor lives like a block from it. So we bundled it and walked a few blocks down to a nice view spot. It was fucking cold. But really beautiful. jessen hiked down a little closer, but im a wuss and me and dor stood up top and just took in its beauty. the pictures came out kinda bad cos the cold fogged up my lense, but you get the idea.





its just crazy to think that this body of water travels all the way down the country. it was really beautiful. Then we sat around another hour or so while everyone else got ready. And we headed off to the mall of america. Can't go to minnesota and not see the biggest mall in the world! we ate first. and wandered around camp snoopy a bit. Jason headed off by himself to do some shopping, and we just wandered around. Jessen and Dor decided to go mullet hunting, so he took his camera around and asked mullets if he could photograph their hair. it was really funny. Then, about 1 pm. Someone my hair got brought up. dor had been saying she wanted me to cut my hair the whole trip, and i was kinda like...i dont want to, but ive been wanting to cut a little bit off. And we rounded a corner and found a hair cutting place, and in a matter of five minutes, my hair was whacked off. its just below my shoulders. ive never been such a bitch in my life. i wouldnt sit still i cried the whole time. i didnt mean for that much to get cut off. i paid the lady, told dor i hated her, and ran out and cried for like 15 minutes.

everyone says they like it, but i dunno. it looks a lot healthier, but i think of all the good times my hair brought this trip - my mullet, my bjork buns, my dread locks. i liked my long hair. itll take years to grow back. i dunno. im kinda torn. but dor seems to love it.

while this was going on david took off to watch psycho by himself. kinda weird, but ok. so we took more mullet pictures, and i had a lollipop, and kellie and i rode some rides in camp snoopy - also a part of a mighty ducks movie and made me hella happy. we met up with everyone and left. the airport was kinda sad. saying bye to kellie :[ im gonna miss her. she rocked my ass off. we kinda did a little meetngreet. it was sick, but funny. we had numbered ourselves, so we lined up behind this baracade thing and hugged her and took pictures goodbye. it amused us, and made the goodbye easier. :[

then we had cinnabons and left. hugged dor and jessen goodbye, even tho we picked them up from the airport like 2 days later. HAH! oh yes, remember how i mentioned that we listened to the radio the whole trip? well we had been tallying the songs from the time we LEFT minneapolis, until we went to the airport. we also wrote down songs we wanted to hear, and crossed them off in the city we heard them in. here were the results:



dor and i would get so excited when we got to cross a song off of our list. the best was probably when we RANDOMLY heard friends in low places, which i really wanted to hear, in Chicago on the drive home looking for the lake. Her and i freaked out. I dont think anyone else understood! haha. this tally thing was for the most part, a dor and i thing. hee.
sickly enough this is a break down of the tally:
shawn mullins rockabye lullaby song won with 18 times. we wanted to KILL IT
save tonight was 11 and it needed to die
angel and iris fucking 10 times
and thank u with 12 times - although, i used to hate that song. after hearing it that many times i now like it. sickies.

the plane ride home was boring. the lady next to us wouldnt move so david could sit by us, and she slept the whole way home. fucking bitch! hahaha. we got yummy ice cream. i dunno. it was a random flight. so i guess now its onto the epilogue .
