Summer Shenanigans

Holy guac I am an upperclassman. Seems like just yesterday I was getting in trouble with pub safe and being a dumbass in the dorms. Now I'm almost legal, drinking underage is more of an annoyance than an act of rebellion, and the bars aren't really about wheeling dudes as much as it is making memories with your friends. Freshman year all I really cared about was being "hot," getting the cute sports boys, and proving to everyone I could drink like a frat bro. 

Ok ya caught me, a lot of those still hold true lol. But I've been (basically) single for almost a year now, and I'm starting to finally realize how wonderful it is to be single in your 20s. You can go on dates, you can flirt with boys at the bar, you can go your whole day without responding to a text, and it's no big deal. I don't get anxiety or lay up waiting for boys to text me back, I get better sleep, and I get to spend my time doing other things. Boys are great and can be a lot of fun, don't get me wrong, but you shouldn't feel like you have to do things you don't want to do!! College is supposed to be the best four years of your life. Don't get wound up in boy drama because it's honestly a waste of time right now lol. 

Well tbh I could go on a philosophical rant on how much wisdom I've gained these past two years but I'd rather just limit this blog to what it was made to be- a journal of all the dumb/awesome things I do in my free time. So here we go:

Summer 2016. What  a time to be alive. Tables were served, alcohol was consumed, mistakes were made. All in a day's work. The pals and I know how to have fun. 

Ok first we are going to start with Hunter. Hunter and I met outside of plums the last week of sophomore year, and he just frickin cracks me up. Hunter was on the football team (hunter the punter lol) and from the minute I saw him I thought he was real cute. Classic Anna boy- tall, lean, sporty, and easy to give shit to. He wasn't really the best at dishing it back to me so basically it was just me ripping on him and him taking it lol. Anyway, he started hitting on me outside of sweet peas then we eventually made our way to plums where he literally professed his love for me (after knowing me for like 5 minutes) and asked me on a date blah blah blah whatever. But I was going on a bit of a dry spell so I was pretty pumped lol. We were by the back bar and he was like "yo i gotta go to the bathroom but here's $10 get us some dranks" so I was like lol ok. So here I am waiting at the bar, finally get drinks after waiting like 10 minutes. I wait by the bathroom for like 5 more minutes. Nothing. Anxiety sets in. WHERE THE FUCK DID HE GO. Panic. Go find Rachel. Asks her what I should do cuz I am at a loss for fucking words. THIS KID JUST PROFESSED HIS LOVE FOR ME AND GAVE ME MONEY THEN FUCKING DITCHED ME. HOW. I was literally perplexed. Rachel tells me to find him on Facebook and message him. So I added him on FB and he like instantly accepted my friend request. wtf lol. then I sent him a classic passive aggressive Anna text- "See you never I guess lol." Frustrated and sexually deprived, I finally take my mind off of it and start to fall asleep. Wake up in the morning expecting a message back.. fucking NOTHING!!! I go from being angry to being sad. Straight up sad. Pls don't play with my heart like that. The next day I had to sing at the cathedral for commencement mass. The OG choir crew (Will, Matt, Aaron, Warren, Adam) picks me up and listen to Panda and I try to take my mind off things. We knew each other for a mere 2 hours, so I kept just trying to tell myself not to worry about it. I get out of church feeling refreshed (& ready to write my choir paper that was due that night. Spoiler alert: it's September and I still haven't done it but Aaron still gave me an A in the class cuz he loves me and does not give a shit). Driving home, scrolling through texts/snaps I got at church, and at the very bottom....a response!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hunter lives!! "Oh my gosh I am so sorry I died last night, not quite sure what happened but I'd really like to take you out to ice cream/ hang out if you're not doing anything right now?" Biggest smile ever comes across my face. What a lil sweetie. Also I love ice cream. I tell him maybe, then Kelly invites me over to a bonfire at her house and I'm like lol Hunter come with it'll be fun!! Well it was actually really awkward and I wanted some action so we ended up going back to his place after like maybe 10 minutes at Kelly's house for a movie night. We start making out. He wants the sex. I don't.

Ok i dont feel like typing our whole story out but future anna can probably recall this story pretty well. Long story short he called Rachel hot 2 nights after we had the sex and I was a sass monster in response. 

Then there was country jam. And tanner. my 12 hour boyfriend. Good times. Lady and the tramp gyros and the pokemon theme song and harambe tribute karaoke goals. And josh. Lots of cute dates. also his modelesque bffs from ireland that were twins. their eyes could make any female numb and probably cure cancer too. 

I met this guy Neal at the onion and apparently invited him to stay over after but then we got back and I went straight to bed and passed out. He stayed and partied with josie sierra and the sheep for a bit. Called our apartment "waka flocka flame." Then once the pizza came his MOM PICKED HIM UP AT 3AM. Literal legend. and he left me a note on a paper towel next to my bedstand with his number on it. This was potentially one of the greatest things i have ever woken up to. it's now hanging on our bulliten board in our kitchen.

Also one time we went to uptown and i didnt get into the bars so burback and i ran up a parking ramp and peed on the concrete in retaliation

jk we just couldnt find a bathroom

Also the same night the sheep tried to make me pee in my sleep by sticking my hand in hot water when i was passed out

Also long live the song december 1963

and the great float (rumple minz confessions)

and harambe

and the huge ass hickey hunter gave me one time

and THE BREAKFAST CRAWL

and sierra and burback's 3 week fling and date to snuffys in which she cried rays uncle

(pussy bish)

and when we had COCKTAILS AT OUR GAY CHOIR DIRECTOR'S HOUSE AND PLAYED WITH HIS LITTLE WHITE PUPPIES

Also one time Josie and JB had a blow off. hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Recently Rachel has been having meltdowns about Zach cuz they keep having the sex and she keeps regretting it and is emotionally attached and pretends like shes not but then continues to have the sex and tell me shes ok then I try to give advice and she pretends to listen and I dont know what to do. But recently Pat has been my cuddle buddy and that has been pretty fun tbh. He has a lil plush duck that says duck dynasty on the side named Tito. 

Also the sheep dropped the L word on rach and I this weekend it was magical. And we had fam dinner it was super cute. 

But ya Pat is cool. He asked me to sushi. Idk if he was serious but I do like sushi. Especially when free.

Also at Zach's they had everclear wop that allegedly was 5 shots worth in each cup. It was terrifying.

Went to OGs Saturday and Caitie puked and rallied so hard. Also kissed tommy on the cheek. i adore him.

Sunday I sang at church then walked Justine to the pharmacy and we got snuffys. blessssssss

Then I went to the gym where kelly told me every shot of everclear was 300 calories

...never again everclear. fuk u 

Now I just had my second finance class. pretty neat. my prof is kool. and canadian. 

I wanna start doing yoga really bad but I don't have the time or money

Ok this is getting boring and I'm hungry so imma let u go. 

kisses and hugs

Anna

Relief

So a lot has happened since we last talked, for the better.

First off, I ended things with older xc boy. Shit was gettin weird real fast- like, he made me a painting. And said he was jealous of the arp. So lol. People are weird.
Second, Shan and I are friends again. Praise the lawd. She's my girl. If I woulda lost her I would have been a lost soul wandering aimlessly through college. I'm also gucci swag with the whole team (aside from t money)but I think I just gotta wait it out on that one.
If there's one thing I've learned from this whole experience it's that people move on, that's just life. That doesn't mean, however, that doing stupid things is excusable and pardonable in the future- ya gotta learn from your mistakes and realize that what you did was wrong, or else you'll never change. And people aren't gonna wanna hang out with an immature little egotistical bitchass.
I cannot begin to emphasize the importance of saying you're sorry. It changes everything, and shows that you actually give a dang. It also clears your conscience knowing that you made an active effort to fix the situation. And maybe that apology may not be initially accepted, but sometimes things take time to heal and you gotta learn to respect that and give people space.
I've also learned the importance of listening to your body. If it's telling you it needs something, or that you should stop doing something, you better flippin listen to it because nothing will get better unless you do what you know needs to be done.

Also, I just signed my first lease!! Could not be more excited. I'll be living with a great group of girls, and although it's pretty spendy I think we'll be very happy with our decision to live there. I really need to find an internship/ job of some sort, but I'm sure I'll figure that kind of stuff out in time.

When I first came to college, I wanted nothing to do with my high school friends. I was in college mode- make as many new friends as possible. I wanted to leave my old life behind and just focus on the people who would potentially be my friends for the next four years to come. However, after being through almost my entire first year of college, I've learned how important it is to not throw those kinds of things away. Those friends, the high school ones, are also potential lifelong friends. They share common interests, a common background, and dammit they were there with you when you got drunk and went to the local bowling alley that one time. That kind of shit is what brings people together. And although sometimes our friend group gets on my nerves, I've realized in college how rare it is to find a group of 14 some kids that just get each other. There's no drama, just straight up brotherly love. Every single one of those kids has a special spot in my heart, and I know I can call absolutely any of them about my problems and they'll listen to me. I also love how everyone in that friend group is so down for exploring. Cuz it's hard to find adventurers here at urban UST, as much as I may love the city-goers. It's fun to go "out on the town" and all, but sometimes I just wanna go hike around the woods a bit or jump in some random ass lake. Or throw a dart at a map of Minnesota and go there for the day.
But yeah, through this whole fiasco, I've realized how blessed I am to have friends at home who care about my problems here and want to help me improve the situation and feel better about myself, and remind me that I'm not a super terrible person and that there are people out there who care about me. And I am so, so lucky.

So yeah, moral of the story is: always keep in touch with old friends, and always try to be down to earth. Try to understand what people are going through/ see things from others' point of view, because at some point you may be in just about the same situation.

xo,
the klinks

ps- LIZ AND I ARE GOING TO THE ZOO AND I AM PUMPED

The (Semi) Real-World: College

So I haven't posted in here for quite some time but recently I've felt that maybe writing is the best way to sort through all the crap I've been going through lately.

Lemme tell ya somethin kids- sometimes life has a way of slapping you in the face. If you're a stupid college freshman like me, you think you have it all figured out. Boys, academics, sports teams; you got that shit on lock. The campus is your oyster, your stomping ground. You have this notion that you can do whatever the fuck you want because why? You're a super cool attractive college freshman who no longer has their parents breathing common sense down their necks. You think you're invincible. Guess what guys?! You're not!! Nice try though.
If there's one thing I always catch myself doing, it's blocking people out. I don't listen to people's advice enough and it always, ALWAYS, comes back to haunt me. Maybe it's because my mom seemed to yell at me 24/7 in high school that I just became immune to advice-getting, or maybe I'm just an ignorant dummy. A little word to the wise- you aren't as smart as you think. When people, especially your close friends and family, try and give you advice, it's because they're trying to HELP you. They're not trying to ruin your life or benefit themselves in some wacko- self righteous way. So stop thinking you're smarter than everybody else because honey that attitude and mindset will get you nowhere in life and leave you feeling alone as hell. No one likes a kid who's only out for themselves. My dad always told me that the only way to feel truly good about yourself is by helping other people. I've never really understood that until now. I don't think he means I should necessarily go deliver groceries to old people or volunteer at a soup kitchen, but giving back in some little way helps tremendously in feeling like a whole, genuine person.
Since I've been home I've had some time to re-evaluate: re-evaluate my life, my motives, my goals in life; and I've decided it's time for a change. Call it a quarter-life crisis; a late-teens metamorphosis. It's time to grow up. No more getting shitfaced every weekend and laughing about how "funny" last night was, even if I remember zero of it. No more flirting with any boy that lays eyes on me, or lazing around in my room all weekend. It's time to make a name for myself. If there's one thing I've learned in life it's that you have to experience some pain before you experience glory and true happiness. The happiest people in the world either are working or have worked their asses off to get to where they are now. I used to have that competitive, thriving mindset, but somehow it seems to have slipped away from me. I need to get it back. It doesn't feel right lazing around all day and not doing anything out of the ordinary with my life. I need something that will get me feeling exhausted at the end of the day, that will leave me wishing I had more free time. Because that, for me anyway, is the only way to feel successful. To jam-pack your schedule with things that will help distinguish you as a person; to show the world that YOU ARE IMPORTANT DAMMIT. So yeah. I think I need a job, specifically for weekends, that will keep me routined, happy, and making money. Because clearly sitting around all day is nothing but a horrible thing for me.
I'm writing this post to let you all know that no single person is perfect, and if they think they are then dang have they got some mental issues to sort out. We're all far from perfection, but the important thing to remember is that everyone is trying their best to make themselves count. My old high school psych professor once told me to "lead not a life of success, but of significance." This doesn't mean you should drop out of school and become a motivational speaker or monk or anything but I think it just means that you should lead a life you can be proud of. A life people will remember you by because of all the great things you did and all the peoples' lives you've changed.
I'll hopefully look back at this post a few months (or even a few weeks) from now and still have all these things on my mind and on my agenda. That's really my main motive in writing this is so that I can't dip out early because I know if I see this in the future and read it I'll feel shitty about myself and try to again reevaluate my well-being. Whatever happens, I just hope I can be proud of what I decided to accomplish.

Shamefully/hopefully yours,
Klinks

The Beginning of the End

well kids, this summer is coming to a close. I know I haven't been posting really in the past month but I can truly say this has been the best summer yet. So many new friendships, experiences, and memories I will never forget. The people I've met and the things I've done this summer surmount to more than I could have ever even dreamed of, and it's all thanks to my crazy hooligans I call friends :)

While this school year is going to be filled with unforgettable memories and experiences, I'll never forget all the crazy shit I did this summer. I fuckin drove to a stranger's cabin for the day just for the hell of it, lit my hair on fire, went to the state fair drunk (L O frickin L), got the Taurus goin 110mph on the backroads, used a friggin Ouija board, got pulled over by the fuckin BOAT POLICE topless, geocached, went hot tubbing in a vacant house, jumped off bridges, and so much more. It's been real.

These past couple of days I've just kind of been reflecting on everything, and the fact that senior year is upon us blows me away. It seems like just yesterday I was at the breakfast club meetings with my fellow freshman, or passing my road test (on the second time). And yes, I did dent my mom's minivan sophomore year at my cabin by hitting it with the trailer attached on the back. My life sucks lol k.  While these past three years have had their ups and downs, I can honestly say I have no regrets. MY LIFE FUCKIN ROCKS

and here's to all the bishes that have made this summer the best yet:

MATTIE RACE

got this little homie drunk for her first time this summer. FORESKINS. best night ever. Pete and CK came over and the four of us wrecked havoc. Streaking, late night swims, John Lennon... no words

we also got up one morning at 10 am to drive to friggin Cambridge MN to Jeremy's random- ass friend's cabin for the day. IT. WAS. AWESOME. And I ate Reese's Puffs for the first time.

on Mattie's birthday Emily had an open house and sober Mattie literally just ran around all night snapping pictures and videos of our drunken selves. She also forced me and arps to kiss in front of her which is absolutely hilarious

one time me and Mattie were driving home from the hunger games and we flicked off the car next to us cuz we thought it was our friend but it was actually a 50 year old man and he started following us and we went on a mad car chase through the windy neighborhoods of downtown Excelsior til we finally shut our car off in a ditch and lost him

one time we put TKM pics in the Target picture frames LOL WE ARE HILARIOUS and we smashed watermelons on Strauss& Tali's driveways and ceran-wrapped Jesse's car L O L

and today on this bittersweet last night of summer Arps Madelyn and I surprised her at her house with hugs:(

MAAAADELYN

this little frickin shit. I also got her drunk for her first time the very first night of summer hahahah she was super sad cuz she had just gotten back from graduation and goodbyes and Ryan and choir and meh and so we got drunk and it was HILARIOUS she made me leave the room every time she wanted to take a shot cuz she was so nervous

one time we were at my cabin and madelyn went home early. not very lolz

one time me Madelyn and Mattie went to Lake Calhoun and thought we were super hot shit so we walked around the whole lake barefoot and got blisters and couldn't walk for 2 days. Then when we were getting food at this outdoor restaurant called the Tin Fish two people passed out from the heat. I lol'd. People stared.

idk we made a lot of mac n cheese this summer

ELZ

LOL butts out saturday. tbt to that one time we got drunk off tequila on the pontoon to cure our sadness then just danced around butt naked for 2 hours. never any shame with this chick.

ok so we went out to eat a LOT but the best was when we went to Kona sushi bar and both ordered two rolls then the dessert tray rolls around and we both got a dessert... one of our lower moments.

Elza puked at my house after 4 shots, thus giving her the long- standing nickname "Elza two shots". This is the same night Nathalia thought the cops had busted our party and were coming to take her back to Columbia for breaking the rules and drinking under 18. HUGE LOLZ CUZ IT WAS JUST MADELYN AND RYAN BEING BUTTS

one time gundy and pete wanted to hang out and we told them we would then we got in the car and decided just to go to holiday and buy peachos, kit kats, and reeses and sit in Elza's basement eating and watching re runs of America's Got Talent

Elza got a boyfraaaand this year too. His name is Eric and he is absolutely fabulous. I love him. He's a nerd and she's a dork and they love each other. And Elza now has a babysitter when she's drunk. Life is happy.

the countless ratchet post-rage perkins runs....

EJ SLINGAAA

So many crazy times with this gal. She's been there with me through thick and thin and idk how summer would have been such a ragefest without her.

Our friendship began one night after work, when we both thought we were cool enough to call a few people and get invited to a party. Needless to say we just sat in her basement eating greek yogurt watching movies all night. Yolo.?

We ate alot of ice cream and cereal. Countless trips to Yogurt Lab and such over the summer weeks. We once even ate Chipotle and Yogurt lab in a span of 20 minutes

Em was my party beetch. Our first time getting white gurl wasted together was at my house with Nathalia and the girls, Maya started twerking on the wall... lol

Then one time we went to Kelsey's from work and got drunk with her and her 20 year old friends and we were both known as the hot blondes and we flaunted our hotness obnoxiously and hooked up with two of Kelsey's friends. And ate a lot of cereal cuz I got Emily Lucky Charms for her birthday...needless to say the bag was empty the next morning.

Lots of post- rage ratchet perkins runs with this kid as well. I don't even know... we just did a lot of insane stuff. We were at a party at Erik's friend's in Chaska and my dad called me in rage and made me come home and I drove home drunk and she was right there beside me it was a magical yet terrifying experience I dont recommend it

TAYLORD

I LOVE TAYLORD we did so many stupid things this summer. On one of the first days of summer we re enacted the Hunger Games and it was legit as fuck

We also went to Big Trill Factory with the intent of only going on the gymnastics trampolines but 2 minutes into that decided we were having a HOOT and bought unlimited passes... $25 well spent.

we went to the Temple of Eck (cult-ish religious temple near our house that is thought to be the center of the universe) and asked for a tour. When they said no we drove around in circles in the parking lot honking

One other time the gang and us bought doughnuts and redbull and sat in a random aisle (aisle 6 in case you were wondering) and sat in a circle eating half price doughnuts and singing kumbaya

another time we camped out in the middle of no where Victoria and made a jiffy pop for the first time

taylor also took part in the ceran wrapping of jesso's car which was a hoot. diver dan was there

we were gonna go to the football game then a party at this kid Danny Vittera's but we got there with our doughnuts and there were 4 people there so we left and got drunk in Taylor's basement with like 4 other people

i puked at Taylor's house for the first time. whatta moment. not a good memory

NALLIE

awww my little homie g. this pic is from when I burned my hair. that same night we each got ben & jerrys and brought it to our cars then ate it as we went through the car wash. whatta moment.

we peed outside multiple times. and took pictures. multiple times.

we got pulled over by the boat cops at my cabin for not having life jackets once. seconds earlier we thought it would be a good idea to fling off our swimsuit tops and let the breeze roll in. we're idiots

idk we made jello shots once. that was neat. Nallie also puked her retainer with a fake tooth in it down the toilet and told her parents she left it at a restaurant hahahahahhaha

we held hands under the bathroom stall..twice

nallie also introduced me to the BEST movie EVER, White Chicks. If you haven't seen it yet I recommend it it's hilarious.

MEGGERZ

lol we r gey. dis pic is from that one time we thought it would be funny to write each other's names on our foreheads and go frolick in Excelsior. Little did we know we would see my ex boy friend, his current girlfriend, and his sister at the beach.... shit got awkward reeeeal fast

CAMELOT GAMES 2013. we raged. I befriended multiple Asian children and almost won at the hula hooping contest. I became even more BFF with papa b than ever before and met all of the Camelot regulars, including Robby or something that told fabulous campfire stories and sang camp songs like it was nobody's business.We also watched Ryan McCartan's big Disney debut here on Camelot Lake on the 4 inch tv screen in the trailer. memories.

we went to cross country camp and straight douched the whole fuckin time

I forced Meg and Mari and all of Mari's super hung over friends to go geocaching with me and we FOUND THE GEOCACHE it was a shining moment in my geocaching history

PETEY PIE

ahhhh pete. the best. my main squeeze.

pete was and still is the withstanding man in the foreskins posse, and i will luv him 4 ev. We have raged on countless occasions and each time i feel closer with fam.

one time I forced Pete and CK to go geocaching with me so at like 9 AM we went and after like half an hour of searching in the woods finally found one right by Jay Owen's house and it was awesome. CK put his Men's Warehouse receipt back in the container thing from prom lol

one day I get a call from pete: "klink! Jim and the fam are in Canada, but his hot tub isn't!" so Mattie Pete gundy Cart and I go to Jimmys and tub in broad daylight. Then 4 hours later I get a call "klink! one last tub!" so I zoom on over and we tub AGAIN then went bowling. lol

CK

idk CK's kind of fallen off the radar lately because he got a GF and all, but we still had some good times together this summer.

CK was also in the original foreskins. the best was when we were all trying to fall asleep in my parent's massive bed and he would not shut up with the jerry sandusky jokes hahaha

one time a bunch of us went to applebee's bingo (where you're supposed to be 18 to get in) and CK won the FIRST GAME WE WERE THERE and so he goes to get his free appetizer certificate and flags down the waitress and she just stares at him and asks if he's 18 and he's like yeah she's like can i see your ID he's like its in the car and she's like ok give me that SNATCHES THE FREE APP COUPON and WALKS AWAY. bitch. then when the bill comes around on the tip line pete literally writes "2 nickels" hahahhaah

CK also does a mean John Lennon impersonation. Glasses and all.

GUNDYYYYY

gundy is the man.

this is gundy passed out in  the music room alone. his pants were later found drying on the ping pong table.

gundy is hilarious. he ate a leaf once

he also hooked up with josie like 4 times when they were drunk it was hilARIOUS one time they were in a tent hahahahah

I think one of the best times ever was the morning after Emily's when gundy went to dispose of the goods and he literally just walks up to this trash can and drops them and they made this super loud clinking noise hahahah idk it was just funny

gundy just rocks I don't even know. Him and Elza had a little fling earlier this summer and it was super weird and short lived and now we all just look back on it and laugh

AAAARPS

lol. arps. It all started at Mattie's house one night and we were all just bitchin about school and arps strolls in in a douche tank and aviators and I'm just like lol da fuq is this kid.

then 2 weeks later we hooked up whilst under the influence. funny how that happens and now we kind of have a thing lol like wuuut

idk we rage together a lot it's funny. he also has taken part in multiple morning-after perkins runs. his car is SO COOL and he has gr8 taste in music which is always a plus

he came camping too lol that was kinda lame tbh

idk it's actually hilarious whenever he's in dr arps mode he always bursts into spontaneous rapping and magically knows every word to whatever song is on at the moment. like what the fuck I wish I had that super power

one time he snuck over through the basement window and it was literally for 45 minutes. I told my dad no one was here but he toooootally knew. my dad knows everything. then the morning after I realized I forgot to put this part of the window back and my dad called me out on it and it was hilarious

arps looks like a turtle in this pic lol

HANNERZ

idk hannah rocks. one time i was just sitting at home in bed minding my own business on netflix when i get a text saying "there are tacos on your doorstep. bring a blanket and pillow and get in the car." so I did and it was great i got free tacos and slumboed at her house after some offroadin in Cory's jeep lol

We went on this kid Justin's boat a lot which was actually super fun he's SO nice. he lives in plymouth on Bass Lake idk

whenever I wanted bdubs or something hannerz wuz alweyz there 4 me. Or if I was just super bored she wuz always there lol

I hate her cats though they're really fuckin ugly

Rilz

my LITTLE NUGGET i LOVE REILLY

she's the best. she made me go roller blading with her and Amalie once which sucked though let me tell you I literally fell on my ass multiple times. I now have a scar on my butt

reilly came to Kelsey's that one night and she was absolutely hysterical. HMU for details.

idk we went laser tagging alot, personal fav was when we went with Ben Cooke aka wizard. he completely destroyed us

one time we were in excelsior and saw jake worthen and his random friend from california and they got licks with us then we all decided to go play Cooking Mama and Mariokart in my basement. so that happened.

idk Reilly just rocks. we went to uptown and caribou a lot and her and Ian are/ were the best thing ever

Eri-Erik

sorry erik but this is the only pic of you i have and it's like a year old but luv u still.

Erik is awesome. I still have part of his quesadilla maker though and I feel bad.

Erik came to Emily's little rager though and he was a hoot everyone loved him and his friend. They were so awesome hahahahah Erik rocks

Erik works at Michaels seriously how fuckin sweet is that ARTS AND CRAFTS

No but yeah one time Erik invited us to this party in Chaska so me and Emily went and it was a total sausage fest plus us and 2 girls and it was hilARIOUS but no Erik's friends are super cool. Rachel and her Canadian Bayside friend also showed up later with a hookah which was snazz. Erik's friend Tony is awsum too but he puked at his own house and just sat upstairs eating bread the whole time and I felt bad

so ya that's about it. I know I missed a lot of ppl but honesetly it's 1:04 in the AM the night before the first day of SEENYA YEAR so I gotta crash. peace and love to my homies luv u all hugs not drugs

Here's to an AMAZING summer filled with AMAZING PEOPLE and ahMAZING adventures. You're all crazy and I love you for it.

Until next time

;)

p.s.- PLEASE go look at the stars. Tonight and every night. This world is absolutely wonderful. WOOOO SUMMA 2013!!

p.p.s tonight I went to the car wash and it was the biggest adrenaline rush of my entire life ok goodnight

<3

Inflamed Manes& Indian Food

Busy busy busy jeez ok so woke up from the Bruno's house (where I went to an Asian restaurant, set my hair on fire, and ate ice cream while in the car wash) and showered then went downstairs and Mama B had prepared some banana bread for me and it was fab. We talked about college and Iowa State since I obvi wanna go there so effin bad and shit and she made everything seem really easily attainable and it made me happy. My mom never does that she just tries to tell me what I'm doing wrong in life so it was all quite the relief.

No but yeah the Bruno's was actually so fun and relaxing. I got there at like 5 and we went to this Chinese restaurant called Yang's and it was SO GOOD then we came home and Nallie and I went geocaching and didn't find shit and I was pist but it's k.

We went back and drove to the car wash and ate ice cream in the car and honestly it was one of the most thrilling experiences of my entire life. I was screaming joyously at the top of my lungs. I need to do that more often.

Then yeah my hair set on fire cuz when we got back we went in her parent's jacuzzi thing and set candles everywhere and listened to music and shit and I had my hair up in a messy bun and I laid back to far and heard this sizzling noise but luckily I caught it just in time before it started doing any real damage. We looked all around my head though and couldn't find anything though which is nice so I don't know where it is and it's not visible or anything. But holy shit that's definitely in the top 10 most scarring moments of my life so far.

And then I drove home today and went to work and it was quite relaxing as usual. It was kind of busy but who gives a fuck really. I think the new girl Katie thinks we're all insane cuz we kept talking about flappy finger wounds and LOTR but lol I honestly couldn't give two shits you're at Subway what do you expect.

So yeah came home (drank) (jk) (just a song reference) to Paget and Dave cleaning Paget's new VW convertible...why. That is all I have to say on that. Just why. So I obviously wanted to GTFO of there so I called Emily and she zoomed on down to la casa Klink and we drove to uptown in my NEWLY CLEANSED ACURA it was so fun. We just laid on the beach and people watched. There was this guy who had a pet bird that like followed him around and sat on his shoulder the whole like hour he was there

hahahah like what the actual fuck. There were also like 4 rowdy Somalian boys dancing obnoxiously to Michael Jackson behind us but I'm not gonna talk about them at all cuz ALL THEY WANT IS PUBLICITY AND I'M NOT GIVIN IT TO EM. That didn't make sense but ok.

Then we were gonna just go to some random ass restaurant but walked past that fabulous Indian restaurant Reilly and I went to last summer and we simply could not resist. We both got curry-ish dishes and naan and it was SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD I can't even begin to explain how awesome it was. Foodgasm literally.Oh and I brought Emily to Cheapo for her FIRST TIME and she loved it. I mean how can you not it's so fuckin cool. I got a Slightly Stoopid CD and this Hawaiian instrumental CD and I am SO EXCITED about both of them. The Hawaiian one was only $1.95 lul wut a steal.Oh and my card got declined at the Indian place and I was like da fuuuuuq so I

checked online and I only had $2.18 left on it... I had $200 on it 5 days ago. Hahhahahahahahahahhaha. But who fuckin cares it's payday tomorrow.

Yeah so then we left and went to TJ Maxx which is always an absolute delight and Em got a new bra wooooo then we went to Madelyn's and watched TV cuz she's sick and ate cereal (even though I was about ready to explode from the Indian food) and watched America's Next Top Model. But I have a problem with sitting and watching TV I simply cannot do it so after 2 episodes I had to leave. Madelyn wuz pist but she knows and understands I have issues. Lul. Ya. So Em and I went to Excelsior and met up with Jake and his friend right outside Jake's apartment and just chilled and talked for like 15 minutes then they left and we went to my house for like 20 minutes chilled and Em went home. And that brings us to now. Liz got 6 teeth pulled out today which is gross but really sad at the same time cuz that would suuuuuuuuuuck. And now her smile looks like Heidz's lololololol

Until next time

Big Trill& the Doughnut Pow Wow

Today wuz gud lul surprise. No but I got off work at like 4 and Taylor picked me up and we went back to my house trying to decide on fun stuff to do so we went to Adele's cuz Taylor had his moms credit card hahahah so yeah we got concretes and tried going past our friend Riley's caricature stand to harass him but alas he was not here and we were sad.

So instead we went to Big T(h)rill Factory and were initially just going to go on the huge gymnastics trampolines but had WAY too much fun on those and decided to get unlimited passes. I'm still embarrassed about this but at the same time not at all cuz it was unfuckin REAL we went on this huge spider slide thing then we wanted to go rock climbing but you needed tennis shoes and I didn't have any so I went up to this super sketch guy with gauges and facial piercings and hopelessly asked him if I could borrow his tennies and he was like lol sure so I DID and it was a huge struggle getting up dat rock wall doe but I did it. Then we played bumper cars with a dad and his toddler and it was so sadly fun hahahahah then the ropes course and the ball pitt yada yada.

Alana and Josie called us up and was like yo let's go to Hurricane Wings y'all so we did and met up with Sam Schect too. It was a grand old time. I got quesadillas and Alana told us all about her Apple River adventures which were actually hilarious. Then we went back to Taylor's house and chilled for like 3 hours and all of us were basically on the verge of sleep and Taylor just like springs off the couch at like 10:30 and is like K LET'S GO DO SOMETHING GOD DAMMIT so we maxi packed in his Jeep and went to Chan Cinema. We literally sat in front of it for 10 minutes pawing at the glass doors sadly cuz we knew they were closed but we just wanted free leftover popcorn. Then finally one guy chooses to stop ignoring us and opens the door asking what we want and we're like lol free popcorn? So we went up the front desk and she scoops up our popcorn and is like what size do you want and we're like kkkkkk we were hoping you'd just give it to us for free since you're closing and she's like fuq no fuq y'all high school brats so we're like ok fine h8 u and we left.

We decided to go to Cub and were obviously drawn to the bakery/free kid's cookie section where there were NO FREE COOKIES. We were peeved. But there was a 13 count box of doughnuts... and of course I am pressured into buying it. So the 5 of us sit criss-cross applesauce on the floor in Aisle 6 and eat our doughnuts and contemplate life. Shortly after Sam bought a community Red Bull for all to share and Taylor bought a single package of Ramen hahahah what the fuck but yeah. It was awesome. And then we left and hopefully there's gonna be a party at Taylor's tomorrow night for all us but we'll see. YAY


Until next time

Plymouth& Scandy Planning

ONE GOOD DAY AFTER ANOTHER YAY woke up ran came home went to work and it was literally the ultimate crew workin at the sub. All girls. It rocked.

Then Hannah picked me up and we drove to Plymouth to some kid Justin's house on the lake and it was SO FUN. He was so nice. I mean there were a few awkward moments but whatev. It was kind of scary though because at first the boat wouldn't start and I was like well fuck I hate jet skiing mehhh but then he fixed it somehow and all was well. We just kind of boated around the lake and stopped at this sand bar for a bit and chilled and talked and shit idk. I was the only one that took my life jacket off though which was kind of weird lul but he let me drive the boat while he was tubing cuz I told him I had my boater's safety license which is a blatant lie but who rely cares tbh.

Yeah so we were on the lake for a supa  long time like WAY longer than I thought, almost 4 hours! TIME FLIES THURSDAY LOOOOOL no but yeah we came in and went in the hot tub cuz I was cold as fuck.

Then it got super steamy so we went inside and Justin's cousin Will or something came over and we played Cards Against Humanity and it was SO FUN hahahhahaha. Oh and Will got us all McDonalds which was un fuckin real. I had an Oreo McFlurry holy tits. Yeah so then after like 2 hours of that we drove home. Twas a day well spent.

Then like half an hour later Mattie came over and then later Elza and Madelyn and we sat in my bedroom and plotted Saturday's scheme of events. I'm so flucking excited. Yeah so then we hear this little voice in the window and it is simply Emily calling to us from my front yard hahahahah how she got there I have no idea. But yeah she came over and we all migrated to the basement and schemed more and snapped Jeremy and told Emily our plans and eerybody was just getting hella pumped. So we'll see how that goes.

Then everyone left and I once again slunk away into my roomly abode and did fuckin online gym which always sucks. UGH. But otherwise today was fab.

Until next time
