Mix Cheat
I have to make a mix for someone this month. But I am realizing that mostly it is just the original Dawson’s Creek soundtrack.

Not My Wedding →
I do not want to get married any time in the foreseeable future. But I want to plan weddings everyday for the rest of my life. My favorite thing? When friends get married. My very favorite thing? When my favorite co-worker gets engaged and asserts that we have a wedding to plan. PERMISSION.
So. In the tradition of weddings, I’ve started a new tumblr to post pictures for Nikki. Nikki is...
Hal. We all should have known better.

I’m mostly just embarrassed that I thought he was criticizing her “sellout” rather than criticizing the critics. I guess I didn’t pay it much thought since, never having been a Liz Phair fan, I had no opinion on whether she was pandering to the masses or just being accused of pandering by indie snobs. Still, I should’ve known better.

Well. Ha.
Looking at the original quote with that context, it does feel fairly like his tongue is planted in his cheek. Maybe it would be best I didn’t blog right away on a Wednesday morning.
Still, I’d like to point out that Hal presented it as a serious critique of Liz Phair so I responded to it (very over-dramatically) as such. As a genuine review of an artist, it would be creepy....

When you’re in a frenzied, anxiety-ridden state of mind, what calms you down? Bonus points if it helps you focus when your mind was previously all over the place.

me: oh man. I do use punctuation when I'm mad. short sentences.
Katey: yes. and you get very specific
me: oh?
Katey: like your syntax can imprison your emotions
me: wow.
Katey: like a vulcan
me: I don't know what that is
Katey: vulcans as a species. they have very deep and strong emotions. especially anger. they train themselves not to experience them. so there are times that their mental tricks and training fail and they freak out and throw people around
me: oh my god. am I a vulcan?
Katey: well i would posit that you employ certain techniques very like vulcan emotion control to try to prevent your feelings from running rampant.
me: wow.
me: And then I throw people!
Mr. Darcy: (...) My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.

Since I’ve lived in New York various strangers have pointed out who they think I look like for no reason at all.
So far these are their observations:
-Lisa “Left-Eye” Lopez
-Ally Sheedy
-and today, Miley Cyrus
What can I conclude from this?
You’re a subconscious shapeshifter?
