Am I getting a tan?
There are giggly girls next door. They’re my neighbours’ grandchildren, and they have some weird fascination with me. They came around this morning to deliver something for my mother and would not stop giggling while I was talking to them. I had to check that I’d put my shorts on.
Then, when I was out the front, digging in the garden, one girl came up and told me that the other’s brother had thrown her shoe into the backyard and could she come and get it. Does that sound like a setup to you? Because it sounds like one to me. We went and found the shoe though, and she ran off next door with it.
I guess I’m the centre of these fourteen-year-olds’ attention whenever they come to visit. It’s strange, because no one my age has ever treated me like that, as if I were obviously the hottest guy on the block. I like it. I feel kinda manly now. Like a… what would you call it? Let’s just say ’sex-god’ for the moment.

Ooh, you guys are disgusting. But you can’t be a teen idol without copping some bad press, can you?

Oh, please. Nobody arrests anyone for doing 14 year olds nowadays, unless you dumb them and they tell their parents. But they’d likely get in more trouble than you, so they wouldn’t. Plus, being a philosopher and a poet, you’d surely know how to let them down gently, so that wouldn’t happen, most likely. And besides, if they’re throwing shoes into your backyard, they’re only perving on you, and have no real interest. If they really wanted you, they’d be sunbaking with their tops off in the front yard. Or offering to wash your car. After all, Asuka never actually slept with Kajji, did she?
I think you should pose a lot and play loud mysterious music, and practice your guitar outside. Then, when a real girl comes over and they’re giggling at you over the fence, you can act all embarrassed and Kevin Sorbo-ish, and go “Damn groupies…”
