Well, here I am (that's one trite opening) posting after a long period of lurking. I am very cold and very bored so now you will all hear the details of my boring suburban life and what I do to try and make it not so boring...like wear nail polish...<glances about nervously> Oh yes. It's a lovely shade of transparent blue with glitter. It's good to have sisters who are too young to wear nail polish because then you can swipe it from them. Watching my parents get all confused and try to rationalize it is quite humorous. I try to explain that it's not a gay thing, but more of a break up the monotony of suburban life thing, to which my mother replies, "You could have fooled me". No, no, not a gay thing, as I've been having my share of girl trouble lately, but I won't go into that, I don't even want to hear me whine. Got introduced to The Pixies over Christmas, very great. My favorite song is Velouria, which is my new female name, for those yet to be experienced forays into transvestitism (is that even a word?). A story regarding Cat Power's "What Would the Community Think" which I purchased with one of my Borders gift certificates. The cashier rings it up, looks at it and exclaims, quite loudly, "WHAT THE HELL CD IS THIS?!?!" At first I didn't even know she was talking to me. Then she's like, "Is it hardcore, rock,punk,?" I just looked at her funny and told her I wasn't going to label the music. I quickly took my CD and left. I'm sorry but I was under the impression that you don't put your customers in uncomfortable positions like that. I would have fired her on the spot, just for talking like MTV's ex-VJ jesse camp. Needless to say, I was disturbed and disgusted with humanity once again. I've taken some really nice pictures and would like to thank everyone who responded to my last post. BS content. After a hiatus from them for about a month, I had a BS revival Christmas day. I'm not big into religion or Christmas songs but I must say Come O come Emmanuel was quite impressive. Ok it's obviously time to wrap up this monstrosity known as the longest post to Sinister I've ever written. Velouria...umm I mean Derek S. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
