Missing Missouri

I don't know what's wrong with me right now, but I'm feeling a bit lonely. I'm thinking it's probably because it's been almost a year since I've been back to Missouri to see my family and friends. It's not that I don't have friends and family here in California, it's just different. I was born and raised in Missouri and have a very close family and close group of friends (some of whom I've known since kindergarten). Thankfully, my momma will be here two weeks from tomorrow for almost a WHOLE month. I can't wait to spend some quality time with my mommie dearest. I think it's just what I need to get back to feeling like me again. Until then, I will just look through old pictures and reminisce...

That's what I've always been...

Friday morning, I got a text from my friend Art, who I've talked about here.

Above is the picture message I got from Art. To which I responded, what the heck? And our conversation went on about how he couldn't believe I didn't remember this. Apparently, I drew this picture for him in high school. This girl was supposed to be his girlfriend and for some reason I named her Shitface. I have no idea why. I guess I've just always been a little crazy and had a very active imagination. So, I proceeded to laugh about this all day Friday and the conversation with Art went on. 

And that's most of the rest of the conversation that kept me laughing all day. 

Art and I can have some pretty serious conversations and then we can also have some very silly conversations. We've been friends since kindergarten and I wouldn't trade our relationship for the world. 

Also, I realize there is a gun pointing at Art's name. No, that does not mean I want to shoot or kill Art. It just means I think he's a badass!
