Notes: Written for the 1/26/05 Wednesday 100 Word Drabble Challenge: Things the characters secretly enjoy, but would never admit to. Again, I gave myself 150 words - mostly because I wanted to. For the certifiable version, hop over to the livejournal.
Feedback: I fiend for it.
The Right Stuff
Lex had always been a true technology fiend, but knew he wasn't a teenager anymore when he found out about the Ipod from his secretary's little brother. Still, it took him a year to buy one, and another six months to crank it up.
When his CD liquidation couldn't wait another day, he took a lonely Saturday, and combed through his sizeable collection.
Lex's passions run deep, and his taste is impeccable, so any observer would have found everything from Wagner to Etta James and Coldplay. But even he paused when he stumbled across his first CD - a present from his mother when he was ten. He was too young then to know better, but even now he looked at the tattered liner notes with a grin.
Popping the CD in his stereo, he sung along to New Kids on the Block lyrics he thought he had long forgotten.
