My aunt sent me this:

Due to the popularity of the Survivor shows, Texas is planning to do one entitled, Survivor - Texas Style.

The contestants will all start in Dallas, then drive to Waco, Austin, San Antonio, over to Houston and down to Brownsville. They will then proceed up to Del Rio, El Paso, Midland, Odessa, Lubbock and Amarillo. From there they will go on to Abilene, Fort Worth and finally back to Dallas.

Each will be driving a pink Volvo with bumper stickers that read:

I'm Gay, I Love the Dixie Chicks, Boycott Beef, I Voted for John Kerry, George Strait Sucks, Hillary in 2008 and I'm here to confiscate your gun.

The first one to make it back to Dallas alive wins.

First off, holy shit, that drive! I shudder to think of all that time stuck in a car. By the time you finished, your ass would be permanently deflated. Secondly, HAHAHA! I love my state, but there are still some backward folks living 'round these parts. Sadly, some of those are members of my own family.

When are you going to start writing your Texas stories? I read entries like that and I think, What a great backdrop ... if Rubykate doesn't write that fucking book, I will.

I'm home. I have some stuff to do, including cleaning and making a frickin' chicken caserole. With mushroom soup and everything. Don't ask. Will try to be in chat later so we can be foolish together about the Supernatural season p.

I know, I know. Eh, no excuse really. Just pure laziness and an inability to actually commit to it. For a number of reasons, not least of which is this gigantic fear that I will completely suck at characterization without an established character to build from.

Chicken casserole? Huh. I can't remember the last time I had chicken (or tuna for that matter) casserole. Sounds yummy.

I probably won't be able to watch the SN season premiere tonight. That's also CSI time, and I like to watch it with Mom despite their need to completely gross me out EVERY FUCKING EPISODE. Plus, Netflix has been a turd and a half, and I won't have the last two of the season 1 DVDs until today. I just want to tell them, Well thanks for NOTHING!

Ha. That's pretty hilarious. I'd enter.

You're a brave woman. Especially with that whole Midland/Odessa/Lubbock/Amarillo mismash. It wasn't too long ago there was this huge brawl in Amarillo between the kickers and the punks, and one of the punks was actually run down by a kicker in his car. I think this happened maybe seven or eight years ago.

*shudder*

I certainly wouldn't do it.
