Senior year, I wanted to go see Soul Coughing in person in Chicago, but my parents made me go to fake prom.
Today I'm mourning never seeing Soul Coughing in person, and instead awkward dancing with random boys who said such weird things as 'don't be afraid to dance with me' and 'you look upset but I'd really like to dance with you.'
I am neither afraid nor upset, I am bored and missing out on seeing Soul Coughing with my best friend (and, I retrospectively realize, my huge crush).
