so the tour is over. its time for everyone to go home. we had that fun 10 hour drive back to dor's house in St. Paul, so we wanted to get on the road by noon. well that didnt happen. it was more like 2pm. haha. But we all woke up and showered and got our stuff together in the car, after some drama. Saying goodbye to everyone was really hard. Emi made me cry, and Gina. While we were hugging she was all "im so glad you aren't shady" (gina thought i was someone else before we met, and thought she didnt like me, till we met) and i said "uh me too" and it was just. i dunno. laughing and crying. And i said goodbye to matt page, and to tony who gives really good hugs. And we all piled into the car...and left. But we stopped at McDonalds for lunch first. lol. i picked up another toy. thats 3 bugs life toys. But i gave one to jessen, and one to kellie. I kept this one. We looked at the map to figure out how to get home and see a great lake.
i was shotgun the whole trip. too much of a party in the back. i couldnt give AWAY the front seat if i tried! jessen and i were so set on seeing a great lake and it ended up being a pain in the ass. We stopped in gary indiana for gas and ice cream and looked for the lake. We exited in Chicago and landed our asses in Hyde Park. Hahahahahahaha. it was just classic. It was a pain in the ass, but we managed to find the lake. it was so dark and we were in the middle of discussing breasts so no one really paid attention. While trying to find the freeway we came across this girl standing on the side of a road that dor had bitched out in purdue and hated, and we all sat there and screamed at her and had plans to flip a bitch and take her down, but she was gone when we got back. it was really funny. dor hated her. it was RANDOM!
so on with the trip. all of our left over drinkie drinkies were in the backseat with jason and jessen...so..yeah. we're all its 5pm, do you know where your alcohol is? hah. We got stuck in rush hour traffic in Chicago so we got to stare at the Sears Tower for a long time and i really wasn't impressed by its height at all. I didn't really like chicago. i dont have a huge desire to go back. this day was such a blur. i really dont remember much else. it was a fun drive thats for sure.
OH YEAH! HOW COULD I FORGET! on the way out of lansing we had to drive BACK THROUGH grand rapids, and we passed the city of climax. Remember i mentioned that a few days back? well this time we got off the freeway. We pulled over in this parking lot off the highway, and all of us, except dor, hiked BACK onto the freeway, and took a bunch of pictures in front of it. it is totally one of my favorite memories ever. it was really fun. we had to like walk through these knee high weeds n stuff. it was really fun.
the rest of the drive entailed coldness. david found a ton of obscene bumper stickers including one that said "show me your hooters" that he loved. we stopped in madison again so dor could see her friend katie and we had more noodles and orgasmic ice cream because its just, SO GOOD. haha. and then it happend. we finally got pulled over. i was shocked we had gotten so far without being pulled over. dor flipped a bitch where you weren't supposed to. the cop was super nice about it, and just gave her a warning and told us how to get to the freeway.
then it started to get a little rainy, and a little foggy. it was probably about 10 pm. we pulled over in a rest area and kellie took over driving. while in the rest area i joined david and jessen in the bathroom and there was a man outisde that just wouldnt go in. it was kinda funny. jessen was really enthralled with the way the pinkish white soap kind of, oozed out of the faucet. it was really, obscene. as always!
kellie drove about two hours. i napped for a bit, and when i woke up i opened my eyes and yelled "holy shit" without even thinking. Ive never seen fog that bad in my life. it was HORRIBLE. you could see maybe 2 feet in front of the car. it was scary. Kellie didn't want to drive in it anymore so we tried to pull off the freeway into a dark gas station to switch drivers. that was challenging. we could barely find the driveway into the station. scary shit man. We finally made it into st. paul and dor showed everyone her cat's KICK ASS bag trick, and then we all crashed. and i mean CRASHED. kellie and jason got couches, and erin was once again on the floor! i swear i got a bed once the entire trip, and it was for like 4 hours. but its ok. i was tired and the bed felt good on my back..
day 9
