Attack of the 5-Foot Woman
When I first met Adrienne, who had been talked up to me by Our Supposed Mutual Friend, I was relieved to know that such a sexy name was being used by an actual sexy girl, rather than an impostor.
I was in a strange mood that night. To her discredit, A. accepted this. I was in one of my “belligerently friendly” phases, where I’d seek people out, smile, and insult them. She gave it back, up until she pulled me aside and told me to shut the fuck up. I kissed her, and I liked that even better. I felt so much calmer.
She said, “If I’d have known you’d be nicer to me, I’d have kissed you at the beginning of the evening.” This is good advice for all of you out there, in case you see me angling in for more trouble.
I hope she’s all right, out there.
