hiddenmuseLet's see ... what's going on, besides being a sick twisted puppy who is resisting the temptation of thinking the Bad ThoughtsTM about a barely legal Daniel Radcliffe (but what girl {or guy} isn't doing the same?) and eagerly awaiting the new Fall Out Boy CD ... because deep down, I'm apparently a 16 year old emo girl. (No offense meant to any 16 year old emo girls that read this. Really.) There's not too much to report.
So, I will just get on my soapbox for a half-minute here.
1) This rosacea business is for the birds. I find that when I get turned on, my face is flaming hot red. So my arousal ends up written all over my face, and I find that I can empathize with teenaged boys and the awkwardness of mid-class erections.
2) I got pierced the other day. It was a "good girl's piercing" - my right tragus. I've got an 18ga barbell, with a ruby. Very subtle, but still a "risk" in my little mind. Once this heals, I want to get my left tragus done, as well as perhaps doing the (left) eyebrow.
Kellie was kind of upset with me, for going on my own - but it was a spontaneous decision, to go on that particular day. But, I've agreed with her that subsequent piercings, she's coming along. Anyways, it went surprisingly well, with my piercer, Eldo, telling me about everything that would be happening while he was doing the work, as well as what to expect afterwards. When I said that "I promise not to cry too much", he laughed and told me about a biker guy that came in to get an earlobe piercing ... and fainted at the sight of the needle, still in the packaging. (I didn't faint - and I was told that I did surprisingly well for a first-time piercing)
3) While I don't want to have Gay Pagan BabiesTM with him, Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy) is still pretty damn cool, in my opinion. This is "borrowed on a long-term basis" from The Advocate, in their May 10, 2006 issue:
Yahoo Music reports that an angry mother wrote a letter to Fall Out Boy's label after taking her two daughters to a concert that she called a "liberal homosexual rally." In a letter to Island Def Jam, the woman said she was furious when, at a Charlotte, N.C., concert on May 2, bass player Pete Wentz delivered what she called "personal political testimony" on stage, adding, "The ticket said 'all ages,' and your band was very foulmouthed and anti-morals. Charlotte is not the demoralized city that liberal San Francisco and other cities across the North and West are...this was a concert, not some liberal homosexual rally."
What did Wentz say to stoke such ire? In a message posted on the band's Web site, Wentz wrote, "The only thing I said in Charlotte was, 'You can leave this show and say, "I think this guy is an arrogant jerk," or think, This band is better than this one, because these are your opinions. The only thing we consider unacceptable is for you to engage in sexist, racist, or homophobic behavior. If you do, we don't want you as a fan.' " He apologized for any profanity he might have used but also noted, "I encourage fans of our band to grow up to become good people and to change the world. Unfortunately, I don't believe that treating other people as inhuman is acceptable. [Our show] is not a liberal homosexual rally, but at the same time, it will never be a Ku Klux Klan rally." (The Advocate) {Emphasis mine}
4) I am still a major dork ... and that's okay.
