Viva la Virgins
Fresno's not necessarily the purgatory it used to be, as I discovered when I visited my high school friend Heather McLane a few weeks ago. We went out for sandwiches at the Tower District's Irene's, a forties-style cafe where vintage-clad twenty-somethings cruised past on bicycles despite the 100-degree heat.
Not only does Fresno have one pocket of the city with cute coffe shops and actual pedestrians, it also now has a cool entertainment website called Fresno Famous. (I want a t-shirt!) Heather is a freelance journalist of burgeoning talent, so when she told them of my reading in Fresno this Wednesday, they asked her to interview me. We talked, in Heather's words, "of memory, family and how great it is to be a high school virgin.":
"Speaking of high school, I'd like to take issue with you describing myself, and some of our other friends, as "determined virgins."
[Laughing] Oh, but you were virgins, though.
Yes, but putting it into print certainly doesn't help my "lady about town" reputation.
You should be proud to have been a virgin in high school!"
Heather did a great job with the interview. Read the whole thing here.
