I think you all have missed the point. My journal entry is clearly a synopsis of my summer. That was... a moment in my summer. Amanda is or was(im not sure on the status), a great friend. But that was clearly not a plea for anyone. Amanda, Im not sitting here to win anyone back. Because If I was... I'd be trying a lot harder. Its being made out that I have lost the world...Any clearly i havent lost a thing...besides time. I have spoken my peace, we had a great time, but I think I need to move on to someone with a little more maturity and a lot more compassion for others. Hopefully we both can act adult enough to see each other at dance and be courteous because I don't want weird feelings or anger. I want a resolution to this ongoing unesscessary fighting.
We Flanks conquered another job-well-done. The Greek Flame featuring the Flanks at their finest.
Chicago was a hoot.
So after waiting for Africa to decide what they were doing, we finally made it on the road. Headed for Chicago and AMERICAN IDOL! We were thrilled. Until we got to our MOTEL room at the ThiftLogde in Niles, Illinios. It was nice probally one of the best room i have ever been in. The wall paper was straight out of the 60's and i think so was everytihng else. It was like being in the movie Monster. YES!!! Well after a poop and some snacks; it was time to go survey the crowd at the stadium. 10 minutes later we sit in the car looking at all the people who want to freeze there asses off to get a wristband. We went back, and decided to be Flanks. If they dont give us a braclet then whateva'. Sleep.
Thursday morning we wake up at 10 and decided to look horrible and head into the city. We went to the stadium got our braclets and then had an orientation. After, we were starving and needed to eat. We ate in the freezing cold so we could watch people and the off to the 9 story Marshall Fields. It was amazing. I love touching expensive 10,000 dollars dress and 1,500 dollars little knit sweaters. It was nice. Jenny put on some dresses whilee I sat there thinking about stealing. OKAY, FCUK and Juicy Men and Buffalo jeans just sittting there for me to play. BUT NO. We left and then walked around played in the gardens and the huge fountain, eat icecream, stole orange juice and water, went to a cappucino party, rode the subway. It was so much fun. I cant even descibe. We missed Jenny.
We needed a new place to stay. So of course the Econo Motel was the place to be. Well after a huge detour into Harlem we got there and Andrew and I went to get our room. Jenny waited in the car.
Andrew-We would like a room for tonight.
Indain Women(accent needed)-Sure i have big big room. Big bed. You want for... four hours or... the whole night?
(Andrew and Ernie look at each other)
Ernie-Definitely the whole night!!!!!!
Indian Women(accent needed)-O yes. I give you big room. Big bed. Big Bed
We walked out with our key in hand. Room 26 was waiting. We open it up and to our surprize it was a nice kings size bed with a king size mirror on the ceiling. It was gonna be a great sleep for the trio.
Friday wake up, and ready. Jenny and I got so hot. It was amazing. But after two hours of sitting in the rain, wind, and 50 degree weather our good looks went to hell. We waited 9 hours to audition. I was there for support and fun... But we never got bored. We were prepared with crossword puzzles, snacks, bible triva. It was great. I can't even explain but sitting in that stadium was so much fun. Well Jenny made it to the second round out of thousands of people. They enjoyed what i did, But Broadway isnt for them. I guess. They told her, that her sound wasnt unique enough. But she was great. We ate at Heaven on Seven.........it was good. I love gumbo and angry chickens. After it was a little walking, I found a Marshall Fields bag, and we went back to the motel to pick up the car and leave. Home alas.
Notice***I left out the being lost and fights...well arguments. It was a great trip. We missed Jenny
