Michelle tried to explain to me why she loved the fact that I was drinking out of a forty all night, but was floundering pretty hard. Something about how it was perfectly trashy, but I'm not trashy, but I kinda am, or something. In the end she gave up and ended with, "...I just think it's great."
I was flattered.
I'm sure my Bruce Springsteen muscle tee contributed to this. It was a hit. Now that I am looking back to it, I think the overall excitement was much less about my shirt, and much more about the fact that I chose to wear a sleeveless t-shirt in the middle of winter. Arms! As tantalizing as an exposed ankle to a puritan.

Walking home (the longest, coldest walk) Audrey and I peed on a church. See you in hell. We also chatted with a man who crossed the street to talk to us when he saw Audrey dancing down the street. Typical Pittsburgh encounter in that nothing about it should have gone well but everything ended perfectly: two little white girls joking and laughing with a strange black male in a bad part of town, 2 am.
