Well I've been in this hot mess of a town for just over a month now--well, not technically if you consider the 12 days I was in Dallas housesitting, but close enough-- and so far it's only sorta lame, not TOTALLY lame like I thought it'd be. As these hideous boots pictured above attest, the city isn't too concerned with modernity, or ditching the stereotype that all Texans are cowboy boot wearin', truck drivin', gun-totin hicks. I mean, those boots sit just outside of a mall. A MALL. Ugh.
Still, though, there are positives. Since most people this close to Austin would prefer to live there, the traffic is minimal. I have found the people here to be friendly, for the most part. Let's see, what else is nice about this town? There's got to be something. Well, I keep thinking about it.
One thing I don't understand about this town is howfucking hot it seems compared to Austin, which is only 86 miles North of here. It seems like it's constantly about to rain here, so there's always a shitload of water in the air bringing the heat index up to something like 126 degrees.
I should be more positive about it, I know. My friend here finds it "refreshingly hipster free," which is a plus. And I'm excited to go back to school (late August) and if I can get the maximum $$ in student loans I may not even have to work, so that's fucking rad.
As for you, Austin, my Sweet--
It's goodbye for now, but not forever (sniff, sniff).
