    How old I am:

    Translated Paradise City into French for my gf, hand written in a perfumed letter on real stationary. She loved it. Yes, I got laid, but that was happening anyway as we were 18.

      … did she know that was a translation, or you went like "here is an original French poem I wrote about you "

        She was one of two genuine genius level IQs I’ve ever met. She knew.

        Genius, looked like an 80s Marilyn Monroe, freak in the sheets, emotional quotient of a rabid possum. Loved that woman.
