Saturday was my birthday, after 18 I've come to see it mainly as an excuse to call people and get them to come over with gifts and alcohol. They did, so we drank too much and went into the night in our pretty little vintage dresses and stiletto heeled shoes. Walking the crowded streets looking for a club I got a strange feeling of time relentlessly moving forward never to come back. Maybe it was the Black Russians or the menthol cigarettes, but for the first time I could feel in my own blood how no youth can last forever, not even mine.
We found a bar where we could dance to sad songs and get more free drinks from boys in oversized black framed glasses. An ad man named Fred tried his best to convince me we would be together for the rest of our lives if I would just give him one night, but I had to tell him that could never happen. Despite my sudden age angst and dedication to live at least that particular night to the fullest, there's one thing I would simply never do: sleep with a guy wearing an Abercrombie & Fitch T-shirt.

As a "guy" i agree, go for Kenneth Cole or Ted Baker, no brand screaming out at you, so at least we men that wear them realise there is more to life than "BRAND", XX Happy Birthday btw, (JW-Alifeof surprises.com). I signed it that way as for some reason my account only lets me leave anonymous MSG's :-(
ReplyDeleteavy your last line had me smiling with laughter. my 18 birthday sucked @$$. sounds like yours was better, well except for unrelenting, idiotic men.

I really should have taken your advice two years ago and never have slept with a dude wearing an A&F t-shirt. It would have made my life much easier.

i'm so in love with your writing. if someone collected all your entries and published it in a book or something, i would buy one for me and one for every friend of mine, so i could share all those little feelings your texts include.
