Exhibit A: "I stopped reading your journal because everything is a euphemism. Unless I'm included in the reference, I don't understand it

I am so extremely jealous that you got to see Scissor Sisters. I love them. And, when I was back in Maryland for the holidays, I forced the band upon a couple people. Their reactions were as follows:

"What the hell is this crap?"

"Are you gay?"

"San Francisco has changed you."

Yet, despite the negativity, I continued to enjoy the music at a volume far too loud.

And, finally, I have a hole in my underwear.

I discovered Scissor Sisters on the free videos feature of Comcast with "Take Your Mama," which I proceeded to watch about fifty (million) times. Before their album was widely available in stores I downloaded as many mp3s as I could and was entirely smitten. I received the same reception when I tried sharing the band with others. My favorite tracks are "Return to Oz" and "Get It Get It"-the first for transcendent writing and the second for driving at 120 mph.

re: exhibit A - but surely that's part of the point? I blithely make up my own explanation for these euphemisms - for example, "111 is regrettably far from 25" means that you live at 25 and there's a long-lashed female firefighter at 111 who you've barely spoken to. Makes perfect sense to me

[literaryartist]

Truly! And your blithe explanation of that particular example is remarkably close ;)

Who is that remarkable Miss Ashley you write of? She sounds brilliant...and gorgeous...but not filthy. Yay for Philli! Hope you are well.

I couldn't say precisely... She seemed familiar, as if from an almost forgotten time of yore, but she spoke with a distinct British accent. Your estimation of her character is right-brilliant, gorgeous, and not the least bit filthy. Not even a little, not even a lot!
