You were always there to walk me home
With you not here: the streets I roam
I let go.

New York.
Michigan.
Virginia.

All lie to the east.

Nevada
Washington
California
Are to the West of me.

I've grown up in Texas--- and it shows. I toss out words like Y'all, ain't, and bout'. I do not pronounce gerunds the way Webster prescribes; There is no G after the I and the N. I end awkward silences with "How 'bout dem' Cowboys?" and I, like most Texans, when questioned about where I am from when I am overseas, I will not say " I am from America."

Rather, I'd go:
"I'm a Texan." with enough bravado to make Rambo incredulous.

I've been staying in my Uncle's house for almost a month now and every day I wake up I see a giant map of the United States. And it makes me wonder where I'll go to Law School, outside of Tejas..

California(UC Berkeley)
Michigan(Ann Arbor)
New York - Cornell, to follow in the footsteps of my arch nemesis, David Chai, creator of Nutang; NYU, to follow in the footsteps of Jack McCoy; Columbia, because tt just sounds cool
And Virginia. University of Virginia.

Virginia.

Virginia. My motives for Virginia... It'sareallygoodschoolandisaprettyplacetobeand...

And it has mooses. Everyone loves Mooses.

I hate Mooses.

My mom went to Berkeley... She never talks about it, though.

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy is like... one of the best shows EVER. :D

Is Mooses a word?? Ha ha. I guess so.
No. not window shopping at Frys. I got a MAC magazine and I got Chang-er a Photoshop magazine. She wanted a PC sims game but that cost too much. Maybe next time.

Nice wallpaper. Makes me wanna pee. ha ha!
