Last post as a Lawrencian

Sorry this is so long.

This is my last day in town. I'm leaving the big city for JC in a few minutes. The whole graduation thing was great. I commandeered Ross' camera, so I'll try to get him to post the shots on Ophoto soon.

My favorite part was meeting your parents:
  • Andy Hyland's dad does those same arm/shoulder kicks when he prepares to do something. I love Andy's dad and mom
  • Kurrrrtisssss does exist. I saw him. I touched him. Amanda said I could.
  • Steve's dad does look like Nick Nolte.
  • I know where Vaupel gets his Vaupelocity.
  • Neeley's mom is just the nicest person ever.
  • Seeing the Cross clan sitting in a row under the tent was glorious.
  • Michelle, I too am glad my dad wasn't the only dad wearing jeans.


  • Sunday was ridiculously hot. Synthetic black caps and gowns + sun-drenched stadium + Kansas afternoon = much pain. At least you didn't have to sit next to Courtney "I'm from fuckin' New Mexico, but I still complain about the Kansas heat" Kuhlen.

    Anywho, the point of this post is to officially say goodbye to everyone and everything. I have enjoyed few things as much as I have enjoyed being forced to hang out with y'all at the Kansan. I genuinely like everyone ... 99.9 percent ... OK ... nearly everyone, I met here. Despite all this weepy, un-me-like emotion, I will miss everybody! Keep in touch. Y'all are welcome in my home, at any time, wherever I am. Except Bill. I hate Bill.

    That being said, down to business: I am leavin' the big city for a place where I can see the horizon, the music is twangy and the folks are simple. I'm out. Take care. Lawrence ain't no place for a country girl.

    We'll miss you too, AKS. Let me know when I can look for your first story. I started today and have two stories due by 5 p.m. tomorrow. Nothing like getting started running. Take it easy.
