i'm alive!

yaaay!


so, let's start with some highlights of the andrea and megan rock the midwest and part of canada tour.


we had the BEST time ever. oh my god. andrea picked me up at about two. (this is LAST saturday...) we went to wal mart first, and each got a six pack of 24 oz mt dews. then to patrick's house.... and then off we go! so we actually get going around 2:30.... about three hours into our journey, we had our first highway interchange, had to get on i-94.... and we missed our exit. so andrea decides we'll just make a u-turn, rather than get off at the next exit. well. THAT was exciting. 0-65 in.... thirty seconds! go doug. (doug is andrea's car...) ... then, we stopped at a wal mart (and a burger king, where andrea had a salad popsicle... mmm. frozen.) and we bought crayola markers, and two little boys white t-shirts.... then i made "andrea and megan's rock the midwest and part of canada tour" t-shirts. SO cool. also, somewhere along here we discovered that if you spit mt. dew out the window while traveling at 80 miles an hour, it all comes back in. andrea was kind enough to demonstrate this, and as a result the entire inside of the car (and the outsides of us) was very sticky.


then we got to "detroit" and hung out with alex, who i LOVE! then we met tom! who i also love! and we had good times. and such. then alex took us on a tour, before we all headed to kyle's house. (after some mapquesting by kyle) and then we met kyle and erin!!! and i love them both so much. oh my god! they were so great. i didn't want to leave them ~_~ *Sniffle* so, we all stay at kyle's where we watch some rent boots and kyle and erin and i had rent nerd conversations. it was much fun. then we all went to bed. then we all got up the next day and had toast. then alex left to go get tom so we could go to canada. and andrea left to go get other andrea so we could go to canada.... and i stayed with kyle and erin and we went to this little diner, and had the cutest waiter ever. his name was scott, and him and kyle need to go out, because it would be too cute. it was scott's third day, and he was all nervous. and just DARLING. awwww. so... kyle and erin and i all order the exact same thing.... (grilled cheese with fries, and a pickle, and some ranch dressing. and i asked for grape jelly for my sandwich. mmm. it was so funny. we're like "can we have three grilled cheeses?" and scott's like "you all want the same thign!?!" like it's the craziest thing in the world. and i'm like "can i have grape jelly to put on top of mine?" and he's like "oh, sure!" like it's the most normal thing in the world. awww scott.) and we all got milkshakes and water. mmm. it was great. then i called andrea to see what the canada plans were.... and she's like "i already told alex!" and i'm like "uh, i'm with kyle and erin, not alex." and she's like ... "oooooh. i thought you were with alex. i wonder if i confused him..." so we get all ready and go back to kyles and watch hairspray for awhile, then liza.... (LIZA! with a Z! it was GREAT. maybe i'll post liza's life lessons later...) then i leave with alex and tom to meet up with andrea and andrea in canada. and we get there (after craziness at the border...) and get to the casino.... and begin searching for andrea and andrea. andrea #1's phone isn't working, so we don'tn think we'll find them, but we do.


then we set off to downtown windsor.... and went to pepper's then to somewhere else.... jokers? it was great, apparently in canada, the bars all send out guys to like.... recruit you to come to their bar. it was great. then tom and alex demonstrated some sleaze for us... and we had good times, then we had mass confusion... but it was all good. and tom and alex took me to grosse ile to andrea #2's house... and we all said our goodbyes... and andrea #1 played jenga with her cell phone charger and andrea #2's nightstand.... and we went to bed.


then we got up in the morning and had pancakes! and andrea #1 ate like 40. it was great. then we tried to leave for butler, but we kept getting lost. because of the crazy banks. on the way to indiana we went to ohio. i don't know if we were supposed to, but we did, and ohio was very nice. we also tried to buy fireworks, but everything was all closed. then, i took a nap... and it was a vicious cycle.... it was raining... so i'd close my window, then i'd wake up REALLY hot... and open the window... and fall asleep. then i'd wake up all wet.... and close the window.... it was horrible. then i got up.... and we got to indiana... and met libby, who was SO great, and i love her and i really hope she comes to stay with andrea. then we went to the sigma nu house to meet chris tracey and.... someone whose name i forgot... then we went and took pictures of ourselves breaking into the phi delt house.... *innocent face* then we went back to libby's.


in the morning (by morning, i mean about.... 2 in the afternoon... we got up and went and ate... and then we set off for home. took SO long getting home. we stopped like, twelve times. and took a tour of peoria. and got ice cream. and stole window clings from gas stations, and went to iowa 80 (world's largest truck stop!) and it was GREAT.


the end!!!
