Great real story telling. Put me back at a time that seemed so complicated but was so much more simple.
“Something I Can Never Have”. For being an athlete, dude was definitely up in his feels. Good on you for rewarding him with a kiss.
NIN does not get enough props from any gen other than Gen X. I had a massive NIN window sticker on my 1968 VW Squareback. Same on my 1971 Camaro. Broken and Fixed EP’s were so good.
What a brilliantly written piece. Funny and sweetly nostalgic. I’m from the UK where we can’t drive until we’re 17 so early dating tending to be meeting up and just walking around in the rain, trying to think of something interesting/profound to say (and inevitably failing!)
There's always one line in every one of your posts that is equal part touching, hilarious, and perfect for setting the scene.

It just makes so much sense that your first date would play NIN
Truly the only memorable event that night.
That and the $20 I got to keep for myself since Andy paid for the apps so really a win in my book.
This was so heartwarming! I swear that no one is a better storyteller. Love you!! ❤️
Thank you little sis 🤍
We must both be nostalgic over first football player boyfriends and high school since I wrote about something similar a few days ago.
applebees and nin is a killer combo
honestly I should give this boy more credit, solid first date 7/10

I know plenty of millennials (me) who are huge fans!
That Broken ep is hands down my favorite.

That was awesome :)
Yaaaas girl. I know every single word to that album. It’s got first kisses all over it. 🔥
Oh my god my soul / so brave / mashallah / I’ll read this later
So good!
Falling in love but not with Andy made me smile.

Gonna listen to some early NIN now- thanks!

*chef's kiss.
I regret to inform my stomach that not much in my diet has changed.
Thank you, that is quite the compliment!
Winged eyeliner. Key.
