Lily: Do you use twitter? I’ve been told that if I don’t, I can’t call myself a modern woman. Which is funny, because there’s not much I would rather NOT be.
Me: Oh, I don’t think that’s true. I thought cigarettes were supposed to make us modern women. Or wait – was it loneliness? I forget which.
Pause.
Me: God, why isn’t it drinking time?
