I know and I'm sorry I've taken so long to write a new post! But in my defense I've been sick all week along and super busy because I've missed a lot of class.
But,... This past weekend was my birthday! Wooh! Now I'm an even bigger bad-ass now that I'm 20 and only a year away from being 21! So what did I do? I went to Menominee, MI. Its a ity-bity little small town on the border of WI and MI in the upper penninsula. I was originally planning on going to Canada with some friends (or by myself and meet up with some friends) and getting shwasted. However, those plans changed when my good friend Ashley mentioned going to Menominee with her for the weekend and maybe possibly getting some tattoos done. So! I went!
On friday morning I began my 3 hr adventure through Escanaba and into Menominee with 3 random strangers in different cars and we raced our way through the back roads. Needless to say, the would-be 3 hour trip turned into an hour to 1.5 hour trip! Hehe... awesome. Once I got there, I navigated myself through the side streets to Ashley's friends apt that we were going to be staying at for the weekend, in which I did find it.....eventually... After a couple of hours just chilling we decided to hit the downtown area so that I could have a look around. I found this old/rare book store towards the end of the main street downtown and fell in love with it. The moment you walked in you could just smell that old book smell mixed with a hint of cinnamon which put together makes you just want to explore the vicinity. Which, I did of course. And behold, I found not just one or two but three beautiful new books. I bought two books on Art History and one about young adults in the 20s in London, UK. I absolutely fell in love with that teeny-tiny little bookstore at the end of main street. I really cannot wait to go back and do it again, and again. Yes, multiple times. ;) After that we headed to the library for internet access, not much to say there. We also headed to a quaint little cafe with absolutely delectable mediterranean inspired soup, sandwiches, and lattes. Pretty soon we mad our way home where we just took it easy.
Saturday was pretty much the same story, staying at home relaxing and what not, but with one minor difference..... I GOT TATTOOS!!!! (I'll have pics up soon!) I got three all-together. One behind each ear of wings and one on the ribs of a heart-shaped peace sign. They didn't hurt that much, more of an annoyance after a while. But I love them so much and it wasn't even that much of a pocket book cruncher.... only $30 for all three!!! After the tattoos Ash and I took a little side trip down to Green Bay, WI to see a good friend Nick. Which, in itself was an adventure. Once we were there we got really hungry so at 10pm we went out to Fazoli's Italian Eatery and alas! They were closed, sucked major. So Nick then suggested a good sushi place at the other end of town, like the east side of the east side of Green Bay, and we were on the west end. Go us! So we ventured off to find this great place and the moment we do find it, it closed 5 mintues prior! Talk about sucking it major! So we head back to the west end and settle for Subway. Not sushi or italian but still very delicious. Finally, after chillaxing for a couple of hours we made our 40 minute journey back to Menominee at 1am.
The next day we headed back home so I could once again, commence the boring and tedious dutiful student studies. Uck!
Not one of the best birthdays ever, I still have many years to go to look forward to that one! But it definitely was very fun and I did enjoy myself very much!
Well! Sex and the City is overtaking my attention so I must pay my dues to the wonderful characters in this show.
Love and Lust always.
