Burned like brilliant trash at your funeral.

I'm feelin' pretty full-up of maudlin melancholia and bitter longing today, boys and girls, as I am prone to being every year about this time. August 29th rolls around and I get to sentimentalizing and eulogizing and it usually devolves into anger and sadness

I loved her, too. I never tired of her when I lived in Houston. My friends and I all went to her.

There's really absolutely no place on earth quite like it, huh. Or at least, like it was. :(

I know, and I'm sure people think I sound like a broken record. Because up here they JUST DON'T GET IT. No one I know up here has even been there. We were only 4 hours away, though, so we used to go all the time.

I KNOW. Exactly. The rest of the country mostly thought of it as a place to get ridiculously drunk, sweaty and laid. Sigh. (Not that it wasn't all those things too.)

Hahahaha! Oh, it was those things. Indeed it was. Har har. What didn't I overindulge on there? Sweet memories....
