“…any small moments of intense, flaring beauty such as this morning's will be utterly forgotten, dissolved by time like a super-8 film left out in the rain, without sound, and quickly replaced by thousands of silently growing trees.” ― Douglas Coupland, Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture
“Oh my god yes, I DO remember those sketchy, green-tinted glasses she used to wear everywhere. The girl would not take them off. She smashed right into that cinder block wall at prom and they broke clean in half, and that was that. She was the only girl I ever met that could pull off chewing gum and smoking at the same time. Do they still even make Virginia Slims? Probably not. They do?!? Christ. She was nuts for Adam Ant to stalker levels. I heard after graduation she went to some mediocre art school on the east coast and hooked up with a total nutcase named Jenny (what are the odds, right?) before dropping out second year. I ran into her the other day – Jenny, not Jenny – and turns out she’s the assistant manager at a Hot Topic and on her third marriage, if you can believe it. Seemed a little salty about the whole arrangement, but that’s Jenny in a nutshell.”
