Vacations I Have Taken
When I was eight, my parents took my brother and me to Phoenix to visit my aunt and uncle

This entry I liked very much. I would suggest you submit it to "My Turn" in Newsweek.

[punkdhiver]

To what, now?

[visualcortex]

It's an essay column in Newsweek printed in every issue. Sometimes the essays are funny, sometimes they're quite serious--they're essentially a place to showcase "humanity," and I think this would fit there quite well. That way the whole world will know the literary powerhouse that is punkdhiver.

I just read one, but they seem like they have to have a point...

... and, naturally, my writing doesn't, really. Would it still work?

[rbas97]

I can't wait to be back in Tucson...

[punkdhiver]

I'll bet.

*wink*

I think my last family vacation might have been relatively tolerable if my face hadn't been terribly swollen from an allergic reaction...

[punkdhiver]

Allergic to what?

[alecxander]

I took some generic headache medicine...

Or perhaps I'm just developing an allergy to my family.

Are you still as difficult on trips as when you were a little kid?lol.

[punkdhiver]

Only on trips involving nature of any kind.

[punkdhiver]

"Camping" means staying in a hotel.

The spectrum doesn't grow any dimmer than that.

So there is no chance you will ever come back to Arizona I take it. Bummer. You know what's funny? I have lived here my entire life, and have never eaten rattlesnake. Oh, and have never had a scorpion in my shoe. BUT, I have been to every ghost town. :( I think you should give this state one more chance and come out again. I can show you the better parts..

they really serve rattlesnake?

jesus i thought he was kidding.

[ohnoitsadam]

No, they do. After we saddle up all of the horses, and milk the cows, some people tend to eat it.

[punkdhiver]

No, I'm serious. It's a "thing," I suppose.
