wow.

A friend of mine I haven't seen in 15 years went on to be a film producer. A couple of years ago she made a movie about a girls' punk band in the 1980's. I just watched it. It was a weird experience. Lovely, but weird.

For one thing, I think they had used old photos of my friend for one of the main character's eye make up. It was like seeing her in 1987, down to the last little strokes of eye liner. And there were lots of other references too: the clothes, the music, the clubs, the pretentious boyfriends, the sublet apartments. The teased hair. Walking to someone's house when you want to talk to them. I shrieked. Dan looked at me.
