Willow ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I liked the article, but I don't think we're trying to stay in with the kids as the author suggests a couple of times. We're just continuing to be ourselves and enjoy the stuff we always enjoyed. At least that's how it feels for me.
Exactly! None of my interests are because I want to stay Hip and In With The Kids. It's just things I like, things that I find fascinating.
Oh, Jilli, that is just awesome! I'm so excited for you!
And, um, I had some interesting and goodish news yesterday, and um, I'm all nervous and weird about sharing it. But, the Bitches have been such a huge support to me that I feel like I should share it here too. So, if you want to know, go read here: [link]
Awesome! Go vw with the being awesome!
Oh vw, that's wonderful news!

Oh, and the Big Name Publishing House wants to use Pete's art in the book, hurrah!Wow! More great news!
That's wonderful, vw!
I was getting touchy with the writer, but then he copped to being a grupster. Damned well better. I went to school with him. He was a good friend of Colin's. And I know most of us are grupping still.
I admit I skimmed, but I didn't feel it was about bonding with the kids, but more about not adopting the traditional markers of adulthood. Which I'm perfectly good with.
Most of the time. I figure at some point I'll be mutton dressing like lamb, but until then I've got some superhero t-shirts and short pleated skirts to wear.
vw - that's wonderful news! Go you!
VW, that's awesome. And also? I just friended ya.
And also? I just friended ya.
Friended back!
And thanks, guys. I've actually been pretty actively trying to handle things on my own for a while (specifically, trying to take things off the board and LJ...I mean, let's face it, I was a bit of a drama queen!). It's interesting, though, to reach the point where it's like, "Huh. I'm not just trying; it's actually happening. When did that happen?"
Wow, I didn't know I was beating down an entire generation and forcing them not to develop their own music. Dude, if your music isn't developing, don't blame me.
re: Jilli's book, it sure doesn't hurt to have a successfull pro artist in the mix, ready to go.

Can we blame Billy Idol? Who can hear anything new with him rebel yelling in the background?
