Bowling
January 17, 2005
Because love is shit, we decided to go bowling at midnight. I’ve never bowled 10 pins before, and neither did Heather, but she excels at everything. Earlier in the evening she destroyed Simon and me in Scrabble, and at the bowling alley she knocked down pins with impunity.
The pins glowed in the dark and music blared in our ears. We argued most of the night and went home feeling empty. And I thought, “When did I become so fucking emo?”

Posted by: w. on January 18, 2005 at 11:49 PMhave you considered love with animals? there’s no backtalk!
also i agree wholeheartedly with the guy who recommended the wrens.
Before I get to that “love to the animals” stage, I should first start with the Emo stuff. We must take things one step at a time — I’m delicate.
