I think Duran Duran would have been really big in RPS fandom too-- I was thinking about it the other day.
In the book of people's terrible childhood diaries -- I think it's called Mortified? -- there's a hilarious story where the girl is Simon LeBon's girlfriend (or maybe John Taylor, I forget which) and they have this whole elaborate life, and then when they go to bed, they like rub against each other really beautifully or something, because of course the girl was like 12 when she wrote it and had no idea what sex was.
In short, hilarious.
Hmmm I may have to change my answers-- I like fixing up old houses too! Poor Oates. I am sure he is a nice guy!
Happy Birthday JZ!!
The smoke haze is letting me down,since I've been hoping for lovely blue sky to enhance festivities at chex Javachik tomorrow for Suzi's brunch. Oh, well. I'm excited about seeing everyone!
HOMG, Jesse, that just made me snort with laughter!
I have a terrible memory of not being cool, and really having no idea who the fuck the individual memebers of Duran Duran were, and this one really cool girl made fun of me by asking me all about them because we had the same last name. Which in retrospect, is kind of stupid.
Don't forget the bay city rollers
ok,so the internet wasn't necessary
Oates does seem pretty awesome, but yeah. Hall all the way.
Henley's got that Texas Calvinist (thank you, RS) thing going on that would make me want to murderize him after a week.
he's developing a cartoon about his MOUSTACHE!
That takes me to a Tick place. And that is a not-unhappy place, if you're me.

Pretty sure they were, if we'd known a label for it at the time.
The book is freaking hilarious all the way through, if -- you know -- mortifying. [link]

You'd last a week?
I was thinking more in terms of hours before the spork to death desires came out in full force.
The summer between 7th and 8th grade, my best friend and I wrote this epic real person fic, au, of everyone in our school, with names changed, as adults. We called it our Soap Opera, and we gave everyone aliases. Mostly I came up with stories, and Judy wrote. We spent hours and hours on the phone agonizing over it. We even inserted ourselves.
When we got back to school we were letting our friend Andy read it, and got caught passing it back and forth, and THE ENTIRE LIST OF ALIASES FOR EVERYONE IN OUR CLASS was read aloud. I though I would die.
That is actually one of the last creative things I have ever written, but Jusy actually writes for magazines, seemingly mostly about sex tips and keeping your marriage hot.
I find this amusing, because at this time, she did not even know the basic mechics, and I had to tell her. Also, for some reason she always called ses "making sex".
