I went on a date today with a man eight years older than I am. We went to the zoo and saw a movie. He’s pretty cool, he works in IT, he likes Blonde Redhead (what is it with french men and Blonde Redhead?), and wears his hair in a ponytail. He is tall so I had to crane my neck every time I want to say something to him. I didn’t want to . I want to tell these things to you. I want to...
That night there was another dance party. The empty school yard was decked with lights and lanterns, and people were dancing to the music blaring from their headphones. It was your kind of thing. Except that they were doing lindy hop which you hate. But at this dance party, I don’t know if you remember, they were playing waltz. I remember my hand on your shoulder, the other holding...
but what can I do when I miss you but I can’t talk to you knowing that you don’t want to talk to me because I probably didn’t mean all that much to you and I didn’t matter enough for you to miss me, my presence, our conversation, the aimless wandering around the city, and here I thought we were having a good time despite of the things I might have said or done that were not...

finding an apartment in Paris. what a nightmare. during the previous 3 months I was lucky enough to find students who sublet their studios for the summer, but now the competition is fiercer than trying to secure a ticket for a Bon Iver concert. and timing is everything. you see an offer for a good price, at a good location; don’t bother visiting it, just say you’ll take it. because...

He was the fall back guy. The one you kept close just in case things don’t go well with the main contender. You realized you were a heartless bitch, but said to yourself a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do for love, or the impression of it. And as it almost always turned out, things didn’t go well with the guy who reads Lorrie Moore and listens to Josh Rouse like you...

part one
There was a boy who claimed to be the loneliest boy in the world. He hadn’t lost his parents, he had plenty of friends, but nothing can make him happy. It was said that he once fell in love with a beautiful girl who lived next door. It was also said that she was taken away from him right on his twenty-first birthday. It was supposed to be the happiest day of his life. He never celebrated his...
those days
It’s the stuff made for movies: we were lying side by side, my fingers playing idly on his shirt buttons; his were resting on my shoulders. Then he sighed contentedly and said, ‘wouldn’t it be nice if we were to live together, and we could wake up next to each other every morning’. Just like one might say ‘wouldn’t it be nice to go to the zoo today’.
He had been sick for a couple of days, and I...
