once upon a time..

..i started blogging but totally forgot about it, until now!
 spring break is over tomorrow. i really don't feel like going back. we went to Chicago to visit some friends and just for the sake of it. i really fell in love with the city, partially because I'm really sick of Richmond right now... 
we arrived on Wednesday and got some deep dish pizza and went shopping (i never thought i could get claustrophobic in a forever 21 store but it was possible and definitely one of the most awful experiences that day. in the evening we went to a show. it was a really cool musical about elvis presley, johnny cash, carl perkins, and jerry lee lewis. they apparently met once at sun records. they recorded one song together. this quartet was called the "million dollar quartet". 
the next day we went to the art institute of Chicago. this might be one of my favorite places in Chicago. amazing art work and such. then we met up with paulchen (jej). he had to take the job of a tourist guide cause we were pretty much lost. later we split up and ally, paul, and i were on our own. we went to the second highest building in Chicago, the Hancock tower (amazing view all over the city), the house of blues, and to a popcorn place, where Paul bought some really awkward popcorn (cheese + caramel). right before we had to leave we joined a demonstration for gay rights. 
after spending a day at my grand parten's house in indiana and a day in the car i'm back again.
