Introductions
Hey,
what’s up? Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Kirsten Backhard. Before
you ask, yes, during high school, the boys use to call me “back-her-up-hard.” I
think that was why I was popular. It had nothing to do with the fact that I had
beautiful breasts or what the football team might have accidentally seen while
I was in cheerleading practice.
I
am from a small community, but let’s face it, I’m way more of a city girl. I
was the girl that introduced tampons back in junior high in the girls’ change
room. Remember that room? It smelled like socks and had six nonprivate shower
stalls with mirrors all over. When you think about it, those rooms were kinda
like your first introduction to really bad porn. Anyways, there was always a
girl after gym classed who yelled, “Fuck, who has a pad?”
Before
we get into the really good stuff, I should probably talk about where I came
from. No, this will not be an education class on the birds and the bees or sex
101 for those that have a dirty mind. Shame on you. J
I
came from a middle class family where my father worked in construction and my
mother was a bank teller. I have two siblings: my older sister, Marie, who has
like four kids or something, and my brother, Derek, who happens to be my older
twin and who is hot. Yes, I don’t mind telling you that. You know what comes
from a hot brother? That’s right— super hot friends that I might have taught
how to french kiss. What? Don’t judge me.
We
lived in a good community with a crap-load of kids. You could tell that most
people that lived on our street were Catholic, and they didn’t get the memo on
why or how they ended up with so many kids. As for myself, as soon as that
first period came, there was no way in hell I was going to have that, so off to
the medi centre it was!
In
my last year of junior high, we had new neighbors move in. There was a cute
girl named Liz. She had blonde hair and brown eyes. I know, it’s a weird
combination. Anyways, she was a runner like me, which meant she also had a
killer body. Liz and I instantly became best friends. She is totally my better
half, and if I ever decided to go muff-diving, I’m totally calling that bitch
up. Liz has a brother named Steve, who ended up being gay no matter how hard I
tried to convert him.
Today
I am…swallowing hard here…thirty-three
years old. Yes, I am thirty-three, but my ass and tits show that I’m much
younger. Thank God! I hold a senior
executive position at a downtown financial firm. I travel all over the
U.S., placing bids on stupid-ass shit for men that are trying to compensate for
their small penis. But who am I kidding? I love my job. I love to travel and
experience new things. I have no one waiting for me back home, especially not a
cat, and I’ll definitely know if I’ll receive a Happy Mother’s Day card in the
mail any time soon.
My
mother recently told me that I should start thinking about settling down and
start acting my age. Like seriously? What the fuck? If I had a penis, I
guarantee you that this conversation would never happen in a million years. She
lives her life by double standards. I, however, do not. I like living my life
by my penis, figuratively speaking of course. It has never poked me the wrong
direction before, so why start doubting it now? Is it really my fault that it’s
always on the prowl?
Don’t
get me wrong. We have had our fair share of amazing, head-shaking experiences.
I think it’s only fair to share some of these adventures with you, so you know
how much my mother is off her rocker.
P.S.
I love you, Mom. <3
EXCERPT:
“First of all, Mother, it is called a sperm
bank, not a sperm bar.” I cannot believe
I am having this conversation right now. “And where did you get this
information from?”
Max looked over at me, smirking.
“Why does it matter where I heard it from?
What will people think?” cried my mother.
“F**k! Mom, no one is gonna care where or
how I get a baby.” I want to crawl into a
hole and die. “Mom, you wouldn’t by any chance be talking to Marie, would
you? Is that where all this came from? Did she tell you I’m planning to go to a
sperm bank? Or did she tell you I should think about going to a sperm bank?”
“That’s not the point, Kirsten. The point
is that it’s time for you to settle down and think about having a family. You
need to be more like Marie,” my mom lectured.
“Like Marie? My sister, Marie? The one who
wears yoga pants and ponytails everywhere.”
