That is so perfectly sweet, I think I may try that right now. (No more dreams about being attacked by bats and ants!)
it's true about kim.
You're hilarious. And so, apparently, is your ex boyfriend from college.
That would make a great music video for a superband. All those guys hanging out protecting you while you lie in your tiny dorm bed with the covers pulled up to your chin.
I woke up crying from a dream I was in hell once next to my ex-boyfriend. I woke him and told him about it, and he was like "you woke me up to tell me that, you inconsiderate skank?" and then I realized I might not have been dreaming.
If you had to cuddle with one of your party guests who would you have chosen?
I would feel dumb with Frank Black reading the titles off my shelf. I would be shy and apologetic about the self-help stuff.
I'm going to try that on Henry!
Long-time reader, first-time commenter:
i can't help but share this with you, i think you'll appreciate it. Last summer my boyfriend played drums for Steve Malkmus and the Jicks (we live in Portland) and we did a string of summer concert series, one being Bonnarroo in Tennessee. While the Jicks played, Kim Gordon stood looking on from side-stage, right next to me (Steve's old drummer is Sonic Youth's new drummer). i kept acting like i was a little too tipsy so i could inadvertently lean into her, just a smidge, just barely enough to get a wif of her hair or something. (i spent most of my hi-skool daze curled up in a ball on my bedroom floor listening to Jet Set Trash/No Star on blue vinyl, if you couldn't tell) Anyhow, low and behold, just a few hours later while eating dinner back in the V.I.P. tent with my man and Steve and the rest of the Jicks, who comes up to sit with us but the one and only Kim Gordon, with Thurston and their daughter and their daughter's friend. We all sat around eating and carrying on (Steve, Kim and Thurston reliving old times) and me, little teeny-tiny nobody me, trying to act cool. Like this was normal for me. This is the story i'll be able to hopefully impress my kids with someday.
CRAP. The whole point of this story was to let you know that Kim Gordon is surprisingly kind and perfectly charming. She carried on a conversation with me as if we were total equals, she's very modest and gracious. i am happy to report. Point is, if you posted her outside your bedroom door she probably would protect you. Heheh....
Oh, I don't doubt that she's very nice. My friend Megan used to babysit for Coco and said the whole family is awesome.
Also, how could you not leave your name?!
this is the coolest thing in the world. why did i never have a boyfriend like this?
Even if he hadn't said any of the other stuff, the "sweetheart" would have been enough to make it all better for me.
Just I just get the phone number of this ex boyfriend and make him my future ex husband?
Sounds like a good ex-bf!
Definitely my favorite ex.
Yes, seriously: the "Sweetheart" thing works like a charm. Why don't more men use that endearing word? Love that.
This is the first thing in a long while that's made me want to type "LOL"
Even if I'd summoned the genius to say something like that, I would have probably gone with Britcelebs like Michael Palin and Andy Partridge.
Anglophilia is a debilitating disease.
ow. how did you let him get away? that's pretty darn adorable.
I think that maybe when you called, you woke him up from that precise dream. But that makes it no less excellent.
the dream must have been about daniel johnston going off his meds.
Mama, is this heaven?
this probably confirms my status as a dork, but i only know three of the names on that list.
this probably surprises no one.
"Don't let Malkmus too close to the bed" is my favorite part. Sound advice, too, I imagine, although maybe less so these days.
That is one kick-ass boyfriend.
And that would have calmed me down too.
That is quite possibly the coolest thing I've ever heard. Thank you.
Incredible. Made me cry a little.
that makes me feel nice just to read it right now. very good.
