One summer I decided I was going to be a dumb bimbo. I made a new group of friends and told nobody that I was a writer and made a point to not say anything interesting. I'd wear a blue crop top and a little white plaid mini skirt and I spent an hour on the Stairmaster every day and ate chicken breast so my abs were popping, then I'd go out at night and order a round of shots for the bar and drink spilled alcohol right off the serving tray and make out with boys and girls at dingy little house parties and go out to the rodeo and hear about all the small town drama and take groups of people home after the bars closed and show them my collection of guns. Nobody asked my opinion about anything important, but everyone still liked me. It was like being a little puppy in the sense my presence itself was the only thing required for people to enjoy me.
It was amazing, so freeing. Nothing's better than being a total idiot.
