01:37 pm: the european mtv music awards are being hosted in rome this year. usually i'm not one to get all excited about that kinda thing but really awesome people are playing here. i just saw the cure. i've always wanted to see them...and they played there really old stuff and there brand new song. it was amazing. the red hot chili peppers are suppose to come, the beasties boys are here. its so cool. maybe this is making up for the fact that i missed the ones in miami. haha.

12:50 pm: contagious
i dyed my hair black. all the girls on the trip were getting their hair cut and dyed. i'm kinda scared. it looks like i'm cher impersonator wearing a wig...ahhh. maybe i need to get use to it.

08:22 pm: hehe...first entry. i'm so proud. actually kinda sad...before this i was checking my facebook thing...what is wrong with me? ahhh. anyways, i was thinking about it and figured this was probably an easier way to explain my trip in amsterdam then writing it ten times to everyone. i made a list of all the highlights of the trip. it might not make perfect sense but i'll try and explain:
1- my new found sense of direction: so by definition, i'm usually lost, driving, walking, anything...but in amsterdam, one of the most backward and oddest place i've ever been, i had a perfect sense of direction. maybe its cause in the real world i'm like a square peg in a round hole...haha...i just fit in amsterdam. if you've been there, you'd understand how funny that it.
2- dirty nellies: the name of the hostel we stayed in. it had a really steep stair case the was impossible to climb up when you were sober...
3- The Grasshopper: the first bar we went into
-marisa running into Alley: marisa saw this girl in the campo who she went to grade school with...very random. then we run into her again in amsterdam...kinda spooky
-the older couple on 'e': there was this couple who were probably about 40 dancing at the club...it was really funny. kristina went to talk to them and it turned out they were on some drugs. i guess thats what happens when you live in amsterdam all your life...
- mike passing out: mike was really sleepy the whole first day we were there. we kept trying to get him to go home and take a nap but he wouldn't cause he didn't wanna miss anything...he slept through it instead.
4- Tiger the pimp: we ended up randomly hanging out with this guy for the night. he bought us drinks showed us fun bars and clubs to go to...turns out later on that he was a pimp...ewww...
-mike told us the next day that he told mike that he would give him to whores to go off with if he got me and kristina...i feel so cheap
5- marisa and victoria saw some guy passed out in his own vomit...they assumed he had o.d.-not uncommon in amsterdam i guess
6- space brownies: kristina, mike and i all had space brownies...hehehe...this is everything that happened that night:
- when i was trying to write a note to marisa and victoria, i accidentlly wrote it to marisa and victory...oops
- kristina and i spent a good 15 min fighting about who was going to call either sherry or morgan. i hate talking to people when i'm high...we each ended up talking to both of them.
- leaving full beers at the worst bar ever: i never thought i'd see the day when i had to leave a beer but this was the worst bar i've ever been too. it was playing horrible techno music, with red lighting and the strangest crowd ever.
- kellen on shrooms: a guy on the trip decided to do two boxes of shrooms by himself. you're only suppose to do half a box and it was the first time he'd ever done it. we passed him on the street and he was so crazy. you know those crazy bums that you try and avoid...well, he was one of them. very creepy.
-mike kept doing this head-bob dance thing that night...it was really funny. it doesn't come across in words very well...damn it.
7- some people experienced strange feelings:
- marisa: could separate her spirit from her body...i've actually read a book about that...hehe
- me: i was in a fish bowl for most of the night. it was really odd. the three of us were all in a bowl....
- kellen: terrorist were trying to get him....haha
anyways, i guess the rest of it is kinda something you had to be there for. i seriously recommend going to amsterdam. its such a funny place. during the day its really quaint and cute and then at night, all the really cracked out people come out. its two totally different places from night to day. don't spend more than 2 or 3 days there...you might go crazy. haha
anyways, after amsterdam, we had to meet the prof in Como, Italy. it was really nice. extremely cold. i've never been so cold in my life but i don't think that's saying much. we saw the sites of the city, went to milan the next day and then had to be in genova. of course mike, kristina and i all get separated from the group and got left behing. if there are three people to get lost its us...haha. it was bound to happen. we almost accidentlly got onto a train to genva but then found out it was the wrong one. when we had to buy new tickets, we almost purposely went to genva...it was too expensive though...damn it.
well...i guess that's all of it....not too exciting to read i guess...i had fun though...sorry if you read all of it.
