1PW

Please ignore the previous post. I'm simply drunk and my only objective is to one day get on to One-Post Wonders. Well, might as well make that my objective, since this is my second post.

Talk talk

When I was 17 I went to a party at a friend's house, and awoke in the early morning on or near a leather sofa. There were one or two other people in sight but nobody stirred as I went over to the expensive hi-fi system and tracked through the CD cabinet adjacent to it with my fingers. I found one of Talk Talk's later albums and put it on, then went back to the sofa and let its cold leatheriness slow my pulse. The time was four something, it was fifteen years ago, and the happiest I have ever been in my life.
