- cute brunette amateur prepares to get fucked for first time on video
I can see it now. First there would be the approach to the stage. Each step would have to represent one of the years of toiling every hard day at the orifice. There would have to been some swagger. A casual mix of “I don’t give a fuck” and whiskey rocks with an air of bruised nobility and a smile hovering somewhere in the precious spaciness between “I am a goofball” and “I am ok with being a goofball”. I would look out at the audience of my peers and pretend to wave and nod to those whom I recognized even though the bright lights in my eyes would render seeing anything other than the podium in front of me next to impossible.
When I finally made it to the lectern then I would grasp it with both hands in order to steady myself and try to reconstitute the vertebrae that the alcohol had dissolved. Before trying to adjust my proximity to the microphone I would hold a brief but ever so pregnant pause, like a big bellied bride in a shotgun wedding waiting and hoping and looking for the groom to say “I do”. Then I would reach for the microphone, probably giving all the techs a heart attack thinking that I would be pulling it from the connectors and losing audio after an ear splitting assault of feedback that would make a screeching cat run for the trees.
“Hello, I am Tim Lake from Homegrown Video”, I would say in my best Johnny Cash baritone.
