Ruussshhh!

The day we actually spent a full day in Chicago (we flew into O'Hare on Thursday and then flew back out today) it was rainy off and on, very foggy, and around 50 degrees all day. I LOVED IT. Seriously, y'all up north don't understand how amazing that is. I seriously can't get over the differences between up north and the South. Maybe I'll post on that one day, OR SOMETHING.



That ivy-covered CHURCH, oh, I love it.



So pretty!





Ahahah glee!



We came here last year too, but we had to take our parents there because it amuses me greatly. '50 diner, the waiters and waitresses are all rude and they dance and it is GOOD TIMES.



GORGEOUS.



Chicago Tribune, and juuust to the right is the University of Chicago.







AHAHA WELL. Even though it was about 70 degrees while we were there, there was still a little pile of snow in a parking lot at a mall in Mishawaka. SO, I guess I have officially seen snow now??



We also went up and saw Notre Dame again. Damn rich kids. That campus is gorgeous. AND, funny thing, we were driving by the baseball fields because a game had just ended, and guess who they were playing? University of South Florida! AHAHAHA. Weeeird.



This was today. We stayed around the city for a little bit, because of flight out of O'Hare didn't take off until 5:15. This was taking from lying on the grass in Millenium Park. Gorgeous weather.



And yes! A giant silver kidney... thing. Art, apparently.



Makes for really cool reflective pictures, though.



Heh, my dad and me.



To kill time we went into the Chicago Cultural Center, previously the city's library, and let me tell you, it is GORGEOUS. Inlaid with hand-made mosaics and omg.





On the arches and around the ceiling were authors (as you can see) as well as literary quotes, and yeah, my english lit major was freaking out.



Quote by Isaac Barrow, in case you can't read that.



Yeah, I just HAD to take a picture of this. "The corner of Wabash and Lake" has not only been used in The Matrix but... and... come on, you know... Meg says it in "Salvation" to John, "meet me at the warehouse on Wabash and Lake." My geek knows no boundries.



My sister got ridiculously huge sunglasses at H&M so OF COURSE the first thing I do is look like a retard in them.



My sister, my cousin Brent, and me. LISTEN, it is a two and a half hour train ride. We needed to do... something.



MOPEDS WHAT.



I am found like this often.

AND YEAH. Fun times. Glad to be back home, though. Too much stuff to do. :(

Alajsdfl;ajsd what did I miss! EVERYTHING, apparently. Well, there is this and holy SHIT I. CANNOT. EVEN. I don't see mine but WHATEVER I am too busy ROLLING AROUND and dying here. Just. Amazing.

OKAY SO. On that note, I'm off to watch "Heart", finally, and OMFG. I should just take off my pants now, shouldn't I.

Holy shit. Who knew Chicago was that pretty.

ALSO ALSO. I should just take off my pants now, shouldn't I.

PRETTY MUCH. And tear your own heart out to save the boys the trouble of doing it for you.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

WELL, under all the smog and pollution and tons of people and horns honking CONSTANTLY... it's really a wonderful city. :D

[skygazing.livejournal.com]

looks like a pretty sweet trip. I guess the snow can count...but really, not so much lol. Real snow is the fluffy white goodness, not the slushy brown leftovers ;)

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I am still anxiously awaiting for the day when I see it ahahha. For now I hope this will suffice!

[flusteredspeech.livejournal.com]

Dude, take off your pants and have kleenex at the ready, SERIOUSLY. And that is really not as dirty as it sounds, I swear.

HIII BABY, YOU'RE BACK! I've never really been to Chicago, aside from the airport, and now I kinda wanna go, that Culture Center is gorgeous. And you are seriously the cutest thing EVER, that last picture is ADORABLE. <333

And how awesome that all those postcards are right in the thick of it! But omg, Jared has TWO BOXES of food, and what looks like a bowl of ice cream to top it off, I LOVE HIM A LITTLE.

[flusteredspeech.livejournal.com]

p.s. That ain't snow, that's just dirt pretending.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

AHAHAH OMG. ♥

Omg it is SO GREAT and we should totes go to the Natural History Museum because it is HUGE and I like to geek out on stuff like that hee.

Ahahah;sldkfjfs I LOVE IT. And Jensen's like, "I have salad, wee!" Omg boys.

♥♥♥♥!

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

OMG, CHICAGO = SO PRETTY.

But you're prettier! ::squeezes::

& your cousin looks SO MUCH like Dick Casablancas of VMars that it's SCAAAARY. ::props::

& yes, LOSE THE PANTS BEFORE YOU WATCH HEART. ::beams::

[caithream.livejournal.com]

N'aw, thanks! :D

Ahaha, he does! I never even thought about that. Heh.

[stargazertook.livejournal.com]

First, ahahaha @ Kate and "dirt pretending" ahahahahahaha!

Chicago looks splendiferous! And you, on a moped, with that stance and look? *OMGpounces!*

You've inspired me to take some pics in Edinburgh and post them. I will do so!

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Aahaha, actually, I think it's more asphalt that snow! Omg I so lose at life. TEARS.

Heee, I think I look totally ridiculous on that thing. OBVIOUSLY I NEED A HARLEY.

Yes yes yes! I'm dying for some pics of Scotland! And pics of seat-sniffing would be SUPER. ;D ♥!

[magikalrhiannon.livejournal.com]

holy crap they are awesome photos. And baby, I love your geekiness. It's very very attractive. *PLUBS ON YOU*

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Ahahah YAY! At least it is attractive to someone! *LOVES YOU!*

[berreh.livejournal.com]

Those are awesome. Bright lights big city!

Seriously, y'all up north don't understand how amazing that is.

I kept thinking that the whole time I was in Scotland. I was like IT NEVER GETS WARM! IT STAYS THE SAME ALL DAY! Nobody else seemed to get it. :(

[caithream.livejournal.com]

SERIOUSLY! Each time I go up north I get more and more amazed at the differences and the WEATHER and oh Florida, why do you hate me so! :(!

[random-serious.livejournal.com]

damn, I wish my dreary little town had... surroundings, size, building, opportunities (that I think are there) like that.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Aw, yeah. Cities like that certainly have a wealth of opportunities, but from even being just a tourist and shopping? It's all pretty overwhelming, too.

I always love your pictures! :D

[desertgoddess.livejournal.com]

Minneapolis/St. Paul is cleaner. And closer to me. Hee! Well not at this very moment, but it will be in May. Chicago when it comes to cities.
sry2say
But I want to see the giant kidney art thing.

Re: I always love your pictures! :D

[desertgoddess.livejournal.com]

D:

LJ ate my response.

But that's almost all of it.

Except imo:

TREES > CONCRETE

I know, I'm pathetic.

Re: I always love your pictures! :D

[caithream.livejournal.com]

I was kinda close to Minneapolis! I WILL SO TOTALLY COME VISIT ONE DAY. When there is snow. Omg I will just take advantage of you for the snow! Heeee.

Giant kidney art = THE BEST EVER ahaha omg.

[hellogloworm.livejournal.com]

!!! i'm jealous.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

I swear, the whole time we were there Erin and I just kept saying to each other how much we wished you were there. ♥

[holdmesam.livejournal.com]

OKAY SO. On that note, I'm off to watch "Heart", finally, and OMFG. I should just take off my pants now, shouldn't I.

YOU MADE ME SNORT/LAUGH.

I have never been to Chicago... sadly :/

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Omg you should go! For a gigantor city, it's really quite nice. :D

(And also! Were you one of the ones that friended Jared on myspace too? Because quite suddenly he isn't on my list anymore, and it said his profile was deleted! :(!!)

[holdmesam.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was. Apparently it really wasn't Jared. Which is a shame. cause I really liked the guy that was pretending to be him! Either that, or it WAS him, and he got fed up with all the people who didn't believe him and decided to delete. There's no way to know really. It's sad :(

[caithream.livejournal.com]

What!! Aw man. I really thought it was him! If it is, I wonder if he'll come back after the filming for the season is done? *Hopeful!*

[xprincessbloomx.livejournal.com]

Glad you had a great time!! Too bad there wasn't more snow. :((

[caithream.livejournal.com]

We missed it by two weeks! Wah. But thanks! :D!

[safelight.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, can I go?!!?

[caithream.livejournal.com]

DUDE YES. We need an LJ get-together and all go shoppiiiiing!

[skies-of-honey.livejournal.com]

That first pic is GORGEOUS! I I've totally been to that church AND the water tower thing in the fourth picture:)

I visited Chicago about a year and a half ago and I was completely blown away. It's just so different from down here!

[caithream.livejournal.com]

It is! I can't really even put it into words! Even the GRASS is different. But I love it so much!
