OMG I am so happy to be back home in the Mish! I was reading this great novel by literary juggernaut Nicholas Sparks and it really made me think of how much I love my new ‘hood:
“The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected.” ~Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook
The Midwest? NOT sick. I do not hella heart it. Not once was I offered a bacon-wrapped anything. Not once did I translate the name of my dinner to learn I was eating goat spleen. My tight new Community Thrift tees not only went unnoticed, but were often sneered at. No matter how crazy-loud I cranked my Richard Wakeman iTunez, I could only think of getting back to Glooncy’s for Budweisers and a sticky round of Trivial Pursuit.

Lookin' smart, Glooncy's!
One thing was, for real, on my mind the whole time: WHO should win the first ever Mish Competish? The answer came to me in this ridic dream (right after the part where I was at a poetry slam @ the 16th St. Bart Station):

Liz Dunn For The Win!
This was sixteen flavors of hilar, Lizzie D. Send me an email (alicearmstrongstrong at gmail dot com) letting me know how epic you want your OMG the Mish! t-shirt.
MISH LOVE!
