While other kids are out doing things kids my age should do, i’m here… writing this.
I’m so happy to be back in Oklahoma. I loved Chicago, but I never appreciated what I had here until I left it. I loved that I can have my dad meet me for lunch, and drive to work, and hang out with my little sister whenever I want. I love that I can call up my best friend and say let’s go do this, and even if shes not 100% into whatever I want to do she says “okay!”. I love having my friends and family within driving distance. I love having my own place. I love the safety in knowing if I get sick again I have one of the country’s best neurologist just 15 minutes away. I love that I have free healthcare. I love the view from my apartment. I love my job and excited about the future with it.
Although, I miss friends I made in Chicago. I miss talking to Buckley as often. I miss having groceries delivered. I miss getting a company car (Even though I had no authority to have one). I miss my old co workers Nick and Tim. I miss North Ave. I miss Dylan and Melissa. I miss Jobot (and Ronix). I miss having friends travel to come visit me. I miss getting to fly as often. I miss going to dinner with Ashley and talking about boys…..and for the first time in my life….I don’t miss Marty.
Not to forget… I miss 2*Sweet. I miss working my ass off to book them a OKC show. I remember I was so excited to book them, and so nervous because they were the first band to stay at my apt. I miss the times 2*Sweet came back for more shows and spent days at my apt. I miss A Kidnap in Color and all those talks with Boone and Davey (although I talked to Boone more). I miss AKIC staying a week at my apt, cops being called, guns and all the excitement. I miss Convergence and booking tons of shitty bands and some good ones. I miss Chris sneaking alcohol into the venue every night to help him sit through the shows i’d beg him to come to. I miss parker. I miss millions of hang outs with Taylor ( and vacations in chicago, florida, and dallas).
I guess this is growing up.
p.s dont get me wrong, i’m very happy with life at the moment. just reminiscing.

last night i went to dinner with dylan and finally had schuba’s famous baked mac and cheese ( which is amazing by the way) and dylan gave me this card and present from her and dylan. i love it so much. they were so great to me while i lived here and im going to miss them so much. afterwards i watched the haunting of molly hartley with dylan ( while dylan reacted wildy to everything that happens, she was a little freaked out haha) while we waited for melissa to get back and then got some gelato. then we watched some tv and i took a cab home. i almost cried on the cab ride home cause i knew it would be the last time i would see them in a long time. they are so great.
i kind of have mixed feelings about leaving, but im ready to get back to friends and family. majority of people that i love are in one area, and i feel like i should be back in that area with them.
goodbye, chicago.
