BORIS LEMESHEV, Bensonhurst, Brooklyn
September 16th, 2007“I have lots of phone numbers of my friends, but I don’t really have friends come over to my house because I don’t trust a lot of people. Why should they come to my house? I could talk to them in the street and I could hang around with them in the park and school, and I could still show them how I play the piano in school. I mean, if they want free private lessons, then maybe they should come to my house. Or if I want to date hot chicks, maybe they should also come to my house.
I don’t have a girlfriend. I’m single. I look for a girlfriend every day. Recently, I’ve been getting plenty of hot chicks. Kissing and hugging them, but not dating them yet. A lot of girls like me because I’m original and enthusiastic and also because I like to play the piano.
When I came into the school, I didn’t have so many friends. Last year, I was looking at how a guy was talking to a hot chick, and I asked him: “Could you introduce me to her? What’s this girl’s name and could you tell her that Boris said hi?” I didn’t speak directly to girls because I was too shy, but now I understand that this was a major mistake, because girls never like shy guys.
There was one girl who loved me, but she rejected me because I was being stupid with her. I cheated on her. I forgot her name. It was a disaster.
I love the piano because it relieves my stress. When I practice the piano, I forget about the hot chicks, that they were being mean to me. It expresses my emotions. When I’m angry, I play a prelude by Rachmaninoff — Opus 23, No. 5.”
