So I am back from Marquette!! It was fun. So here is a lowdown on the hoedown.

SUNDAY: We (me,lisa,carl) arrive at about 7:30-8 o'clock sunday morning. We, of course end up at the wrong apartment complex. Me and Ashley and Alex are running around 2 different building looking for one another:). I am running on about 36 hours with no sleep. Ash and Alex stayed up all night with Lisa2 waiting for us. We hugged and cried, mostly me and ash (this was carl's and lisa1's first time meeting ash and alex). We had coffe. Alex cooked eggs. Ash made waffles. Then L2 and Carl and Alex decided to play DDR EXTREME (mind you, it is about 9 in the morn' at this point). We were all really loud and hyper (the kind of hyper you get from being up for hours on end). I think I tackled or molested alex or something. I call Z and he calls back and we truck up to HUNGRY HOWIES to see him. It was great. I was sooo happy hanging out with him and ash again. He gave us pizza and stuff for half off (everybody say thank you carl). We talked and made plans to hang out the next day. He and ash were completely cordial and nice to one another (I don't know if they were really ok, or if it was for my benefit- doesn't matter). Ash showed me the lighthouse and breakwall (we would have walked it, but alex and L2 were getting tired) she also showed me the cutest water fountain in the fucking world. Its a little lion and you have to stick your head in his mouth to get a drink! We then drove thourgh NMU campus and then went to steve's (the_sports_geek) house. His family was very cool and super nice and hospitable. His mom made us lemonade AND kiwi-strawberry koolade. Steve is funny. He is me (except that he is white:) I do beleive I have somewhat of a crush on him. We convinced Steve to go back to ash and al's with us. We watched anime and I cooked (well, not really- macaroni and cheese does not count) Some more of thier friends showed up: brad, jason and kim. We all were really fucking tired (no one but L1 had had any sleep) Everyone went home. We crashed.

MONDAY: Ash worked at 9, so she was gone when I got up. We (me, ash,l1, zack, carl and billy and..damn it! forgot her name) ended up at the beach. The water was cold as ice and the sand flies were all about the dark meat:) Me,Z, Billy and cute-girl-who's-name-I-can't-remember waded across a sand bar to this little island where we proceeded to hike up and jump off the rocks (I won't bore you with the details, suffice it to say I almost killed myself numerous times by slipping). Ash, carl and l1 stayed on the other beach. We met back up and they went home and Z and billy took me hiking somewhere else. It was beautiful. All of it. Would have hiked longer but my body started having issues with me. So we went to the DOUGHNUT HOLE and I met Mike, Z's friend. He was fun, but smart. The night ended with me, ash, l2,alex, billy and z sparing with swords and spears (pvc pipes covered in duct tape and other paraphenalia) in ash's parking lot. Ash is a fucking demon with that spear (I have the bruises to prove it). Then we wnet back up to the apartment where I proceeded to have my way with defenceless,virginal alex (there is video- soon to be on the net). After that wrestle fest, alex and l2 left to go to her apart. and me,lisa, carl and ash went to bed.

tune in later for pt.2

p.s: should I ask steve out when I come back up? uuummm...
