Edward is on his merry way:

So somewhere down the line I started having a lot of people follow this blog who live in Texas. In fact, right behind New York and Los Angeles, the majority of my readers live there.

So, HEY YOU GUYS! HEY TEXAS! Thanks for reading! 

As soon as I am in the position to travel more, I want to come visit your gigantic state and party all over it. 

It's where Beyonce is from, ya know. And Anna Nicole. 

OMG, if someone from Mexia started reading this blog, I would freakin' die. 

Made for me by the talented and awesome Tara Marie. 

OMG! HI, OTHER COUNTRIES! 

...but that's for real my email inbox. If I haven't responded to your email yet, I pinky swear I'm not a cunt. Just hang in there and in the meantime, listen to one of my all time faves. 

This will make you feel so much better than anything I can put in to writing:

Don't you feel better and less ignored? I hope so. I'm sorry. Some of you write me emails that change my entire day because they are so positive and caring and like... really real. A lot of times I read them on my Blackberry when I'm out at the bar crying about a boy or something, so trust me, they get to me, I just don't always have the will to write back with the tiny keypad and then by the time I get home your email has been buried in 100 other emails. 

So for real: email me. I read them all. If I don't respond it's because you either totally offended me (that's happened like... once) or were so nice that you blew me away and I wanted to give you a proper response but then forgot because like 20 other things happened and then I got all flustered and flakey. And honestly, some of you really have given me a lot of hope for the universe. So like, yeah... Especially you high school girls. I don't know how you find me, but I love that you're here. Also, I didn't drink or smoke pot until I got to college, so don't be some drug-head booze hound like me because you think it's the way to be. It's not. This is what happens when you spend the first 19 years of your life sitting on your hands, being afraid of your mother and trying hard in school and extra curriculars. Your day to guzzle cheap wine until 4 AM will come, but after a lot of hard work and actually acquiring reasons to make drinking worth the inevitable weight gain, hang overs and potential social embarrassment. 

But yeah, the emails. They're great. Thanks. 

And his current fave:

my friend j penry drew the T graphic- he and i spent a lot of time as teenagers together. the image, somewhat obscured in the pic, is of a reclining male with an erect member. the original text was meant to say 'quit your job and jerk off' or something to that effect- but the manufacturer edit'd it to read simply 'quit your job.' i think that this is a perfect example of good editing... the original text would have been way too ham fisted.----that's all beside the point-or an aside from the point.  i like the t-shirt because it is litmus test of what is excepted or ignored. i've worn it all around the city and no one bats an eye. it's like a tombstone 'shock in the city: 1977-2001'... i am sure that if it was a photo, the reaction would be the opposite-or there would at least be a reaction... the power of drawing prevails

Johnson:

My favorite tea has a bear on it. Not just some regular bear but a tricked out bear with gold chains, glasses, and kangaroo hat - Badass Fly Motherfucker. I like to think about a world ruled by bears and at some sort of filled out colliseum, he's dropping some "Love Lockdown" 'cause he ain't no regular bear he's Kanye Westbear. I'm going to be just like you one day, I'm dreaming of the glamour of the blogger lifestyle.

SimpleAnswer:

There are a couple reasons I love it.

1. It's an american apparel shirt.  That's the only place I can shop without throwing a tantrum.  Everything is plain and simple.
2. The design was made by a friend and screen printed by me.
3. It makes me seem more artistic than I really am.
4. Purple is the best color evar!!!!

Joe!:

my girlfriend and I had one of these super-cheezy shirts made at the state fair one summer.  I was six months away from finishing college, i was in love, blah blah blah blah... anyway the shirt says "you & me forever." it's hialrious. i swear...

Alexis:

ok. so this is my favorite t-shirt.  here are my reasons in a convenient list:

1. it's v-neck and i find that to be flattering.
2. while it has neon components (and me being a big fan of all things neon) it is not so overwhelming that i would get nervous and not wear it, b/c sometimes color makes me nervous.
3. not too tight, not too loose
4. feathers are luxurious
5. NEON
6. i'm pretty sure that's it. 

Kyle:

This is a t-shirt I got a long time ago designed by one of my favorite artists, Souther Salazar. It says, "I HOPE I NEVER DIE" and it's a drawing of a monkey listening to great music. Who can't relate? Sadly, I almost never wear it anymore because it's become so small and tight that it gives me this weird, pec-hugging "Let's go to the Abbey, gurl!" vibe that sorta undercuts the poignancy.

Meg:

this is my favorite t shirt because its PROVOCATIVE and it has boobs on it.
people often ask me if they are my boobs. i suppose thats part of the reason i initially stole it from the showroom i used to work at. cause who doesnt want star shaped nipples?

Jim:

not gonna lie my fave tee has period blood on it long story, your getting the runner up.

my dad used to own a vintage clothing store and i stole this off the rack in 99. it was autographed by ralph the man himself but has been mostly washed off. ralph stanley did the song from oh brother where art thou, and hes a bluegrass legend. fuck bluegrass, but this shirt is great. im a yuppy now so i mostly wear this shirt when my guys dry and i have to go to GG park to get weed off random hippies. i was not wearing pants when i took this pic with my phone while getting ready. Peace and luck

Erik:

My favorite T-shirt is one I bought
five or so years ago at the X Large store in Silverlake (?), while
visiting from NYC. I love it because (a) I'm a sucker for trompe
l'oeil and (b) because I look like I'd be approachable but this
T-shirt shows what I'm probably thinking. Ironically, it tends to make
people engage with me....

My boyfriend is always saying, "I need to get you another one of
those," and I have to try to explain once again that X Large has
probably moved on, even if I haven't.

Mindy:

This is my fave T, because, just like Chairman Meow, I hope to someday rule all that I survey.

Sara Liz:

so here's my favorite tshirt. this was easy. i love it because my papa got it when he was my age. He wore it all the time. There's numerous old pictures of him wearing it, including ones of him holding me as a baby. It's pretty worn thin and just about the softest thing ever. and it says SPAM on it. It is one of my few precious possessions and always makes me feel better when i wear it.

Lorraine:

I love this shirt because a teenage boy I worked with gave it to me a few years ago for my birthday.even better he was the son of my much hated boss.the kids didn't make a lot of money there but he was beaming when he gave me the shirt.so the fact he spent cash on me on a gift that clearly showed he understood me makes this shirt my fave

Personally, I find this enjoyable. I encourage you to submit yours. I'll keep adding them to this post. Remember to write "MY FAVE T" in the subject line because I'm lazy and just search my G-mail for that particular line when I'm doing things like this.

I am wearing one of my fave shirts today. It's all the Disney characters on an African safari. I wear it because it makes me feel like I am multi-culti and that I care about world issues, like Darfur and stuff. You can see my hula hoop in the background of this picture.

Send me an email with a picture of you in your favorite t-shirt (subject line: MY FAVE T) and write something about why you <3 it so much. I'll make a whole post dedicated to you guys and your shirts.
