i drank a ton of lone star, ate migas for breakfast every morning, saw about 1,000 cute boys, had stubb’s barbecue, bought some “hot love” at austin’s famous hot sauce store and spent entirely too much time drinking in the denver airport with matt.

i am still in love with my baltimore crush, and i will neither confirm nor deny that i dry-humped him.
