Some of the Kinds of People There are at Shows

1. The person who snakes through the crowd just so they can stand in front of you. Now if you're me, and you are short, it is okay to be this person. However, if you are a Sasquatch this is a dick move.

2. The person who is slam dancing and going bonkers when everyone else is just bobbing their heads. This is fine, but weird. Just be aware of your surroundings. Kick, and you will be kicked back.

3. The flip side of #2 is that person who is right upfront standing stock still or TEXTING when everyone else is going bonkers. It's your prerogative but, why are you doing that?

4. The girl who keeps spilling her drink on your foot and sleeve. Sometimes this is me, I get excited. So don't judge too harshly and maybe don't wear really nice shoes or shirts to shows. That probably goes without saying for a number of reasons.

5. The guy who uses the crowd to either hump you from behind or side boob you with his elbow. If this is you, you are ruining everyone's good time.

6. People who come with their work clothes still on. You should bring a pair of jeans to work with you. It's not right, but people will judge you.

7. The older guy in khakis and a 20 year old leather jacket. (With shoulder pads) I'm willing to believe you're really into the music but I suspect it has more to do with girls who have tattoos and funny hair.

8. The black out drunk girl. I find that black out drunk guy is usually at the bar, but black out drunk girl tends to like the stage. Where there is black out drunk girl there is often the guy who uses the crowd to hump. This combo is depressing.

I will add more as I encounter them.

Wait, NEW NEW

Like, for real new!

I'm doing a mini project where I read all the Little House on the Prairie books and tell you about it.

Come on, it'll be a fun way to spend the winter. You and me, just like old times baby!

Go there now!
Get Psyched on the Prairie!

As always, please email me to correct my spelling and grammar.

Happy Terrorist Fist Jab Day, Ya'll

Can you BELIEVE it's only been a year?? Think about how everyone absolutely swoons at the mere mention of Michelle's name now.

What in gods name is she wearing? Where can I get it? Is it pilates??? And why can't I go pick tomatoes with her in her organic White House garden?!!??

For reals thought, it was only one thin year ago that everyone thought she was an ANGRY BLACK WOMAN (possibly a domestic terrorist) who is NOT PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN.

Check out this Gawker post about how the Obamas have ingeniously emasculated the fist jab by giving daps to whitey. It makes whitey feel cool, and it makes daps less scary.
It's become the 'Bling' of hand gestures.

Well Obvi

Adam Lambert's BF - HOT.

He kind of has a young Johnny Depp as an American Apparel model thing going on, don't you think?

I didn't watch the Idol so I don't really know what the kid sounds like but I do know that the whole internet was all, 'OMG GAYZ????' for months which I though was kind of hysterical.

He's quite obvi gay, right?

Anyway, last night was their first official 'we're gay' outing together, which I think was a pretty well orchestrated way to get everyone to shut up already without having to go all Lance Bass, 'I'm Gay' on the cover of People.

Especially if Lady Gaga is going to be there performing Poker Face live. JEALOUS!

Well, have fun being young, rich, and beautiful boys.

Understandable

The lovely Lady Gaga, newly single lady, wants a barely legal foursome with the Jonas Brothers. Now say what you will about the brothers Jonas but compare and contrast to who I had to squee over when I was a tween. Um, no contest.

Hot on the heels of the blind humping the blind, and the gay male prom queen, check out Sara Wilson's photos of the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired's prom!

I remember last year overhearing a conversation a couple was having as they were reuniting before prom. She grabbed his hand and ran his fingers along the sequins of her dress, to the curls in her hair, and to the strand of pearls around her neck. His response was an exuberant, “Wow, you look so beautiful!” I know that she felt beautiful.
