Sex, drugs and swing music

Well, he did have an interesting life. Sort of. Lived in like 10 different countries. Went to insane parties in La Riviera, boarded with prostitutes, and named himself Prime Minister of Belgium in exile and explored sex, drugs and swing music.
It may not be such a bad idea.
If I’m truly, truly desperate.
Which I am.
Totally.

Choosing your words

“Self-centered? No, darling, narcissistic,” retaliates Uncle M. “When will you stop using run-of-the-mill words? O boring. Developing a fully-fledged narcissistic personality requires a huge investment of time and self love. The least it deserves is a grammatical show of respect."

And then they say we Millennials are self-centered

—Well, you do have an obvious subject to write your book, says Uncle M, looking unusually snug.
—Do I?
—Absolutely.
—And that will be… what?
—I, of course.
And then they say we Millennials are self-centered.
Pity he can’t have a blog or a FaceBook profile. He would spend his time counting “Likes” and leave me alone.
