Current favorite song: “Deja Vu” Eminem

[Truly you lose something just reading these words and not hearing the beat. It’s a great song.]

Sometimes I feel so alone, I just don’t know,
Feels like I’ve been down this road before
So lonely and cold, it’s like something takes over me
As soon as I go home and close the door
Kinda feels like deja vu
I want to get away from this place, I do
But I can’t, and I won’t,
I say I try, but I know that’s a lie, ’cause I don’t
And why, I just don’t know

  • Going to an R rated movie with my parents. WHEN I WAS 25. And also: with my parents!
  • Buying xacto blades at Pearl Paint in NYC. I believe I was 29 at the time. Apparently NY high schoolers were buying them to fight with????
  • Attempting to take the RC challenge at the grocery store. As a 22 yr old senior in college. They said “you can’t take it if you’re not over 16, your tastebuds aren’t developed yet!”*
  • To sit in the exit row on a plane. As a 32 year old. Where, again, I think the age requirement is 16?

Thing I Was Told More than Once by Bouncers at NYC Clubs
“I’ll let you in tonight. But next time don’t borrow your big sister’s ID.” [I have no sister.]

Thing I Now Say When Carded for Alcohol
“I’ve been old enough to buy this drink for 20 years now…”

*In their defense, I was wearing overalls at the time. But STILL.
