I'm sitting quietly in Sail's corner, wondering why all the hot men are on my tv and not in my actual life. There's only been one guy I've crushed on in years, and he doesn't even deserve me.

Basically? Gay punk.

I just saw this word for the first time today. Could you tell me what it means? I think I get it from context, but I'm not sure.

The suffix -core comes from "hardcore" and when added to a musical genre implies that it's a hardcore punk flavor of said genre.

So, emocore is emo music played loud, fast and harsh. And queercore is a gay band playing music loud, hard, and fast.

Or what Plei said in four words where I took 40.

Thanks for all the Birtday wishes!

Thanks, Plei. I saw Allyson use it earlier and then when you used it, I had to find out what it was. I'm afraid it's totally outside my radar, musically. I'm pretty much a top 40 listener on the radio. At home, it's a mix of jazz, blues, soundtracks and world music.

Panicking. Crazy week ahead. Too much stuff. All must be done.

Hee. I love things with -core added to them. Even in a completely non-punk context. It's just fun.

I freely and happily admit that I have no time for dating or really any kind of with-friends-spending time. I do wish that didn't preclude sex-having, though.

I am SO with Emily right now, it's not even funny. I don't have TIME to start a relationship and go on dates and have a crush and shit. Unless I was crushing on someone at work. Which, bad idea, and ew, given the options. But getting some on a regular basis (and not just on a "you've flown to Minnesota" basis) would be so nice...

When I listened to the radio, it was pretty much NPR, but they started to suck a lot in recent years, so it's CDs in the car for me. It's the only way I ever remember to listen to anything.

At home, I don't actually listen to much music these days. I own a lot of music, but owning and using are not, it turns out, the same thing.

My public transportation commute to work is an hour each way, so I do a lot of iPoding. Often I connect my iPod to a set of computer speakers at work. So now I'm listening to a shitload of music.

I thought I had a lot of albums in college, but now I have about four times as much.

{{{Teppy}}} - but seriously, a guy who has never heard of Tim Drake is so obviously NOT the right guy.

And in other words -- Happy Birthday to Trudy and Cara in the last five minutes of their day (central time.)
