At niotillfem she tells us how she would want to be if she was a boy. This is how I would be.
If I were a boy my name would be Matthew.
I would have high cheekbones, shaggy brown hair, warm blue eyes that all the girls would talk about and freckles.
I would memorize totally unnecessary facts and at moments of awkward silences I would say them, and people would smile.
I would wear trenchcoats.
My uncle would live in Paris and I would spend the summers at his house and learn french phrases that I would whisper in the ears of the girls I met at concerts and gigs.
I would love to ride my bicycle and would always blame it when I (as always) came five minutes late.
I would be very vacillate.
I would listen to Phoenix, Bob Dylan, french blues, Håkan Hellström and other nice music that I would have found in a thrift shops.
People would see me as a heart-breaker, but I wouldn't mean any harm.
I would secretly hate sports and would come up with lame excuses so I didn't have to watch the games.
My favourite dish would be pasta with chicken and parmesan and I would always cook it when I invited girls over.
My favourite colour would be blue.
I would read the same book over and over again and I would quote from it as often as I could.
I would fall for girls that speaks a little too fast, only wears mascara, spends their last money on red nail polish and listens to Brigitte Bardot.
I would visit my grandmother every Tuesday and listen to stories about how she met my grandfather and the second worldwar. And we would play bridge with her friends and they would say that I was a really charming boy.
I would write poems in secret and would never show them to anyone, not because I was embarrassed but becase I didnt think it was anything special.
My favourite month would be September.
I would actually notice when you had cut your hair.
When I was in love I would kiss her in the middle of the street, throw pebbles at her window at late Saturday nights when I've been to a party without her just 'cause I missed her so much, I would tell her everything I liked about her, I would get into fights with guys who told mean things about her, I would be totally silent when she talked and ask her deep questions and I would do anything to make her smile.
I would be the guy that smiles at a girl on the bus and says "You are really cute" on rainy Wednesdays.
I would play the saxophone.
When I would turn 19 I would leave and move to London and never return.
I would have three best friends, two guys and one girl. And we would know everything about eachother. The girl's name would be Elisa and I would always be a little bit in love with her. But she would break my heart everytime I said 'I love you' and I would forgive her everytime.
So anyone else ho wants to meet Matthew?
