Lots of people there seemed to be in denial in absolute denial of death - everybody's pretending that death doesn't happen in L.A. if you do enough exercise and take enough wheatgrass and have your pill every day you might not die.
Thank God I never got in a fight. All of the jock dudes hated me but all of their girlfriends thought I was nice so they wouldn't touch me. It was infuriating to them.
