Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

(And for those wondering, my officemate did have mac& cheese packed for lunch. With tomatoes. Also cheesecake, but I must've missed that scent for the gingery lotion I had on.)

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

so they both did know exactly what was going on.

No, they're both cheating on each other.

Right, but they realize it once Dude walks into the bar. He answered her cheating ad and said to meet him at the bar. For, you know, cheating purposes. And when Dude saw Ladyfriend, he realized she placed the cheating ad, and she realized he answered it with the intent of cheating and whatnot.

I feel a little ridiculous trying to explain this song.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

For awhile, I thought they were into role playing!

I asked Tim his opinion on this, and said "It's as texually clear as 'No sex in the champagne room'!"

And he asked "What happens if someone does have sex in the champagne room?"

I DON'T KNOW. What *does* happen if someone has sex in the champagne room?

Because books.

I feel a little ridiculous trying to explain this song.

I could interpret the dramatic text of "Run, Joey, Run," next if you'd like!

I want a complete exegesis of "Billy Don't Be a Hero" by COB tomorrow. With footnotes.

I still want to know what happens if you have sex in the champagne room.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

My only commentary on the "Escape" exegesis is that until I was 13 I thought the lyric went, "If you like bean enchiladas..."

Interesting survey about your circadian rhythms: [link] Mine, unsurprisingly is a definite morning type. It says that given my druthers, my natural wake up time would be around 5:15 AM so to start light therapy then.

That's about right. I get up at 5:00ish without an alarm every day.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Right, but they realize it once Dude walks into the bar. He answered her cheating ad and said to meet him at the bar.

Which puts it one step ahead of "Babooshka", since if I'm reading that song right, they wind up meeting and he still doesn't realise it's his own wife. His sword-wielding, bikini-clad wife, which may admittedly be a little outside of the usual context, but still.
