So the other day, there was this girl in one of my classes. And she was wearing a pair of pants that she had let a lot of people write on. You know the kind. They look crazy, but somehow not tacky… Anyway, this girl turned, and then I saw it.
Someone had written…
“THAT GIRL THINKS SHE’S THE QUEEN OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I GOT NEWS FOR YOU– SHE IS!”
ETC. We ALL know the rest. ”WHO WROTE THAT?!” I got really excited. Was there someone else in my school who knew who Bikini Kill was? Was there another Riot Grrrl around whom I had been unaware of?? We could start a zine and discuss stuff and it would be so grrreat– but who was it?
I was dying to know.
“Idonno,” she said, “Some girl at Jesus Camp, I think.”
“That is, like, eight different kinds of dissappointing.”
