*giggles at lame joke* i'm not in kansas anymore

Actually, I was in Missouri. But Kansas City nonetheless.

Sooo Close to graduation.

Well, some of the highlights of my trip: Aunt Ellie sang along to Brand New and Alkaline Trio. Cousin Molly got tipsy and danced at the wedding (think Elaine on Seinfeld). There's a chain of gas stations called "Kum n Go". There was a guy on our floor in the hotel smoking the reefer and the smell got in the hallway. Jen got tipsy and started swinging her purse around. I saw a white guy speak Chinese. I saw little aisans doing the polka and the chicken dance. i bought perfume. there's a paraphenalia store called "it's a beautiful day". the wedding was lovely.

downsides: public restrooms, all family all the time (don't get me wrong I love them all, it just gets to be a bit much), loud drunken family members, lots of car time, sharing beds, living out of a suitcase, not always getting to do what i wanted.

I don't know where to put it: aunt ellie, aunt beth, and jen, in an apparent group effort to get us killed, got us lost in the slums. yes. five white women in a car with wisconsin plates lost on a dead end in the mexican slums. it was cool.

i hate wisconsin. kansas city is really cool. hell, almost anywhere is cooler than here. except iowa. and lower minnesota.
