bad girls do it well

Today in the work room:

Person: "So you've never had coffee?"
Me: "Haha, no."
"You've never had alcohol?"
"No."
"Not even tried them?"
"Not at all."
Pause
Me: "But I think it helps that my family doesn't drink those things. I was never really around it."
Person: "Oh yeah, yeah."
Pause
Person: "You've never rebelled?"
Me: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha."

I think "rebellion" is an ugly word. It sounds a little like "onion" there at the end, and "rebel" is always on really tacky Forever XXI t-shirts and therefore should be left with the rest of those terrible wastes of synthetic material in $3 bins.

But I have lived the word "rebellion." Yes. I have. Just not by way of beverage.

After discussing rebellions,
Me: "You must think I'm ridiculously boring."
Person: "Oh, no. No. I don't care."

Thank heavens.

I'm not boring. You should see me with a kool-aid mustache.
