CONFESSIONS “I attract crazy people. They love me. I was on the Muni heading to Castro, and a guy came up and started to talk to me. he wasn’t wearing anything except some underwear.” “All my lesbian friends love my mom. I tell her to quit wearing low-cut shirts. But she won’t listen.” —Kylan N., 23, San Fran, CA “I saw the filming of the Show “Looking” and decided that I need to be an extra. So I just stepped in and tried to be in everys shot. They knew what I was doing and kicked me out.” —Steve L., 27, San Fran, CA —Charles H., 26, San Fran, CA Tough Cookies “I brought a batch of brownies to work and made a big deal about them, even sending an e-mail out to the staff. I didn’t try the brownies myself—rookie move— and heard all day about the “rock hard” brownies in the kitchen. Thanks a lot, Pintrest!” —AMY K., 24 2 0 M A Y 2 014 / ARIES Garbage Truck The time was 2:36 and school had just ended. I was really eager to leave the campus: one, because school sucks and two, because my mom was picking me up in the ghettoest van imaginable and I didn’t want anyone to see it. Of course being the great mother she is, she parked the hunk-a-junk right, smack dab in front of the school where it could be seen by pretty much everyone and their mother. no pun intended. So there I am already embarrassed that i had to be seen in front of the piece of crap. I go to get into the thing via the sliding door. I open the slider and it decides not to stop. Yeah,it just kept sliding and fell off its higes all together and clunked right onto the ground. I had to go to the wood shop and ask for a screwdriver to fix it. It, to this very day, haunts me when I sleep. —Tyler H., 18, Reno, Nv
