***************************************

1996: I’m still in NYU. I work an office-space like part time job in the basement of the library. I met a guy there, and began a little love triangle action, because I was sort of cheating on my scumbag boyfriend. Childish, I know, but turnabout is fair play.   I had a sweet schedule. Class 8:05-11:10, 12-4 Work, Monday thru Thursday. It took me YEARS to accept the Thursday night is NOT the weekend. And back then, while by no means a morning person (barf), I had little need for a thing we call SLEEP. I could crack open a 12 pack of beer at midnight and still be bright eyed for my 8am class. Or maybe I was still drunk.
