you sound like my other
roommate.  i
stopped her from asking me by telling short stories with no
point.  like these:
 
when i was 15
or so, my friend & i lied to both our parents and
said there was a school trip to sf.  we saved up, flew there and checked into a seedy
motel.  it was on the corner of that seedy motel
that i got my first kiss.  from
a bum.  no tongue.  but
not because he wasn't trying.  
 
once upon a time, i
used to have long hair.  people always said, you have such beautiful hair.  including my ex-gynecologist who paid the
compliment while my feet were up in the air.  i mean, uh, how long have you been growing it? 
but we all knew the damage was done.
