AJ was a self-described bi-sexual poet who got married at 17 to 
emanc
ipate herself from her Lexus-driving mother (lucky it was Open). 
Who,
through neglect at the beach, almost killed the kid she nanny-ed 
for ov
er the summer in Sweden (I'm guessing brain damaged from the 
story).
I would drive her home after Creative Writing every week. I 
would st
op in front of her building. We would sit in the dark and talk 
for an ho
ur. She would always tell me how she liked to smoke a bowl, 
write po
etry, and masturbate before bed, then she would always ask me if
 I wa
nted to get lit before her boyfriend-husband got home--AJ was 
smart,
wry, understood the importance of character-flaw, and was 
obsessed w
ith Margaret Atwood.                  *none of you + I know her anymore*
