After graduation from the University of Kansas (Rock Chalk Jayhawk!), I wandered into the Colorado Institute of Art and before I knew it, I had signed up for a 2 year program in Multimedia/Graphic Design. I just remember being like “Wow! That loan stuff sure was easy! Um…$22,000 later…)

I digress…

So, at the time, the program was filled with lots of boys. On my first day of class, I remember standing at the door trying to figure out where I was going to sit. The majority of my classmates looked a tad greasy and like they might sit alone in their underwear watching Star Trek reruns and eating pork rinds. Then my eyes fixed on a darling young thing and I immediately plopped down next to him. He smelled like fresh soap and cinnamon and was hilarious. HIlarious. We instantly bonded and I have loved him ever since. There was a kid named Brian Adams in our program and Chad and I just used to call him “Cuts Like a Knife”. To his face. It STILL makes me laugh.

Anyway, I got an email from him this morning and it made my heart soar. You made my day, CCC. There is no one like you. XOXO

Did anyone catch the episode of Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia where there was mention of the Juvenile Lupus Association last week? Hard to explain but it proves my point that Lupus is used on TV when they need an ailment but something just enigmatic enough where people know it’s sort of bad but they don’t know what it is.I still watch that show in all of its bizarreness. Sometimes I find it hilarious. Sometimes I don’t laugh at all. But on this episode, I saw the Lupus banner in the episode and I said “HEY!!” and was all excited like I saw someone I knew on TV or something.
