this one time i went to work at the olive garden and it was like mother’s day or some horrible holiday where there’s a three hour wait, and the boy i was sleeping with, the second i got there, pulled me aside to let me know he was dating the new girl lauren (he had also captured me when i was a new girl) and so we had to stop sleeping together or whatever. but he was so mean and weird and 27 about it, and i was so 18 and fragile, so i think i locked myself n the employee closet to cry, and everyone gave me pep talks and finally the manager came in and was like, do you want to go, it’s ok, and i was like, i have to go, and it was really sweet that he let me go, and i was like, i’m gonna go home and get back to my zen center of artistic glory and not think about stupid boys anymore, and i’m going to take a BATH but the hot water wouldn’t work in my apartment on 74th & amsterdam and so i tried boiling water on the stove and then pouring it into the bath tub while talking to my grandma on the phone.
anyhow it didn’t work, so i went and saw Girl Interrupted by myself and it was awesome.
