So, over the summer I was kinda seeing this guy. Mikey called him my sugar daddy. Okay, so did I. He lives in Indy and we met through a friend. REALLY nice guy, treated me incredibly well. Also, he called me baby, princess and girl a lot, something that I had never really experienced before. AND, when I heard Dolores O'Riordan (lead singer of the Cranberries) was going to be in Chicago, he could not go but bought me two tickets and made me promise to find someone else to go with!!! How sweet is that!? (I took Michaela.. more info below). Oh, he's black by the way. And you know the saying, "Once you go black you never go back"? If all black guys treat women the way he treated me, you're dang right I ain't goin' back, mmm-kay?? Haha But honestly, I really will have an expectation on how I will be treated in the future.. it was enlightening! :)

HOWEV, he just wasn't the one so I broke it off. And I could tell he wasn't thrilled but still, he remained cool and agreed to be friends. But now he won't call, I've sent him a couple texts! I'm so bummed! And I feel stupid for throwing something away that was so good! IDIOT! I asked our mutual friend if he was pissed off and she didn't think so, but I feel like a bitch! Oh well, I'll just have to move onto the next homie.

Now, about our Chicago trip to see Dolores: Michaela and I went to mass at St. Mary's and drove up to Chicago on a Sunday. She didn't know many of the songs, so we figured we would make up dances and hand motions to go with the lyrics on the way up there and that maybe it would help us with the words! We were cruisin' up I-65, doing interpretive dances and making quite the scene! Next time you see us together, ask us to do a rendition of "Ordinary Day" or "Animal Instinct". They're quite funny! :)

We got to Chi-town and parked (which was an ordeal in itself) and walked to Navy Pier! Here we are kissing a furry pirate (if I had a nickle, right?)..

And here's the view from the Ferris Wheel..

Here we are getting a quick "session" in with Dr. Bronze (by the way, when we took this picture, we asked some tourist to take it. But then the batteries ran out in my camera, so I made him wait there while Mikey fished out the new ones and I put them in, made sure the camera worked and then said, "Okay! Shoot!" Poor guy!)..

Then we went on the water taxi, which took us right through the middle of chicago to..

The Empire State Building (sorry, you'll have to turn your head..), which had the longest line ever and I kept forgetting what it was called and one time I called it the Twin Towers in front of a large group of people! It was bad..

We did some other stuff too.. walked a million blocks, ate the most uncomfortable comfort food ever, did our (well, Mikey's) make-up at Neiman Marcus, bought a homeless man dinner but never gave it to him, etc.

And then, it was time. For one of the most amazing concerts I have ever been to.. which by the way, was supposed to start at 7pm but did not start until 10:30pm!! And we still had to drive all the way back, but it was okay cuz it was Dolores O'Riordan and she ROCKED OUT!

We ended up pressed up against these two guys (not as good as it sounds.. they were gay, so no luck) in the front row! But there was some drama at the show.. this 21 year old boy was dead set on standing right where we had already planted ourselves and even pinched Mikey to get her out of the way! Then this rude woman next to us was just.. the rudest woman ever! Anyway, it was awesome and we were THE FRONT AND CENTER people by the end, even holding her hand while she sang "Linger"! How cool is that!? Anyway, it was a fun night and I owe it all to my ex-sugar daddy.. I miss you.. my boo.
