Whenever I put on Everywhere and His Nasty Parlour Tricks, I think of R. She was my age when I met her, when her favorite band was Modest Mouse. One summer day in the yard, I put on Everywhere as an attempt to smooth out the atmosphere. D walked in and immediately commented: I thought you were over them! R didn't say a word, but I knew D understood what was happening. D understood that I was at the beginning of what R went through.
Anyways, now that I am as old as R was when I met her, I resented that I used to blame her for the mess in her life. At the age of 28, my life is a bigger mess than hers. I know there shouldn't be the comparison, but I couldn't help it, I identify with her so much. But there is still one major difference: I actually didn't love him, it was only a matter of juxtaposition.
If I am a spinster for the rest of my life, my yarns will keep me warm on cold winter nights.
