In the mixed

I'm trying to repair my soul at the moment. Ok without wishing to be abhorrently pretentious, which I will fail to avoid, being involved in the arts, in entertainment, in any form of corporate function, well it has a way of sucking the soul from your nostrils. So my way to avoid it is by hanging out with the kids, by giving something back ya know? I'm all love here. Last night I went to Somerset House with the so called 'youth group' from HTB, though regardless of how young they allegedly were, they all succeeded in being taller, better dressed, and far more socially at ease than I was. Indeed so much so, that the following conversation actually took place:

[SFX: Beep of incoming text message]
- A pause as Girl reads message -

Girl: Oh, my friend just met Pharrel and Britney Spears at a party.
Me: Wow, really? Where?
Girl: Ah, she's in LA at the moment.
Me: What party?
Girl: It was for her birthday, her dad works in the music industry.

- brief pause -

Girl [in very unsure tone]: Have you heard of Bob Geldof?
Me: Yes...
Girl: That's her dad.
Me [in my head]: I am wasting the very oxygen that surrounds me.
