I am 21. I have just returned from living in Manchester, England. There’s a house on the 800 block of West College (later demolished) with a porch. Many people meet there regularly to sit outside, have cookouts, drink beer, listen to music, etc. Eric-(future) record label founder, then limo driver-puts on a song. It’s loud enough to hear from the inside, out. Vanessa, an attractive girl-token, gay hipster, cool, singer, band chick-begins to sing along. No one speaks a sentence for the duration of the song. The only real movement is the tapping of a foot or the bobbing of a head. Cars drive by, our eyes follow their paths of unknown destinations. Why care?
(It was a moment, which in my memory, has torn edges like an old photo. It’s kept in a worn photo album with gold photo corners. The moment is special, equipped with smells, sounds, it entirely lacks fear. A moment with absolutely no tomorrow and no hint of a yesterday. I love this moment).
Here is that snapshot. (4.1 mgs)
vanessa, eh? yeah, baby, you know what’s up, freaky deaky!
i wanna move to SC now. or somewhere like it. only no lady lovers for you this time!
ha! I was only experimenting. It’s the college thing to do. What did you call us? Bugs?
And well, you try dating a cardigan-wearing closeted homosexual boy for a year, see where that leads you.
Lugs? Lesbians until graduation.
Ar alternatively, bisexual until graduation.
bugs = bi until graduation
i’m sbaado (straight before and after drop-out) but i can hang with some *ug posers…
what song is that? you really should put the song info for those of us who don’t want to (or can’t, in my case) download a multi-megabyte file. it would help tie the story together.
Oh, cool
Sorry. It’s Uncle Tupelo, Gun. You should download it anyway, because it’s good and it won’t take as long as you think. :] Do it in while you’re in the shower or playing with
ty poopington. Or at the coffee shop. Indeed.
Bugs. Yes, I was a BUG for a couple of weeks in college. And then I was a BAG for a bit. But that’ll be a different song.
hot! i’m getting you drunk and demanding details.
what are you wearing. right now i’m wearing nothing.
