You should start in the Spring
You should be resigned to getting older, but also, be optimistic
Be nostalgic, but not, you know, morose
Have the smouldering fire of youth burning inside of your chest
But realize that it is being extinguished
Be a little sad about this
Call your sister or brother
talk about your childhood
hang up in a good mood
feel sweet
have a crush on a very pretty girl
be making progress on this
maybe she is foreign
Northern European if you can help it
Hair color doesn’t matter much
but try to make it blonde or light brown
she rides a bicycle
Be in an argument with your best friend
not a serious one
but not a short one either
An important one
the ‘game changer’ as you guys will later refer to it
Drunkenly kiss the European at a party
feel a bit let down
disappointed even
call ex-high school sweetheart when you get home
get in an argument
sleep
Finish a David Eggers book. Doesn’t matter which one. Any one.
Go to a baseball game with someone from work
flirt with the girl that your buddy’s wife brought along
ask for her number
go home and think about calling her
Listen to Built To Spill while you decide
