THE BEAUTIFUL DRUNKEN GIRL SKIPPED TOWARDS ME.

i know you I met you down at the mail.

the girl giddily smiled and sipped from her drink,

approaching me at the end of the hallway.

i arrived at the party about an hour and a half ago,

and this was my first interaction.

yes we did meet at the mail.

i nodded choosing my words cautiously not to upset the drunken girl with my monotone.

what mail did you get?

i got postcards from my friends and family and packages from fans.

the girl a told me stepping closer.

I got taxes and rent payments.

I told her bluntly.

you don't seem to happy.

she tilted her head at me.

i was born on a wednesday.

i took a sip of my own drink.

what difference does that make to your happiness?

man, this girl was smart for being smashed.

wednesday's child is full of woe.

i explained to her.

ohh, that makes more sense!

the girl clapped.

so maybe to get rid of some woefulness do you want to come to a musical with me?

the way the girl smiled at me with these enchanting brown eyes,

i couldn't say no.

alright sure.

i smiled the first time that evening.

she clapped her hands together as if i had performed the best thing ever.

smashed she was but easily amused was she.
