it's a wonderful time of yeeeeeeeeeeeear

next up, ebay.*

but they don't allow art erotica, mommy! just ask kattaryna. they kicked her out of paypal (which they now own).

had a v/ funny conversation yesterday with mom. 'i've already bought $130 worth of presents for daddy,' i said. 'i know he told me $300 was appropriate for cuddlepint, so there's quite a lot left if you wanted to pick stuff out after all.'

'i don't want to spend $300 on daddy,' she said, 'and i don't want him to spend $300 on me.'

'we've already bought all your presents,' i said. we spent just about $300 on them, i didn't say. 'so you don't have to worry about that,' i continued, and petted her shoulder soothingly.

pink vs. christina aguilera angstslash

+they worked together on lady marmalade. they were both in pop at that time. since then they've both co-written and produced with linda perry, similarly come out in a more honest, sexually free, and rock'n'roll manner with new albums. they've also both come out as bitches.

+xtina said that of her 'lady marmalade' co-singers she really only clicked with lil' kim.

+recently pink said that xtina copied her by reinventing herself, with perry's aid, for her second album after pink had done that with misundaztood. (so now writing your own lyrics is a derivative act? or working with linda perry? or is it just the combination of the two?) she said (obviously falsely) that she doesn't mind because 'some people are just leaders and some people are just followers.'

+xtina said she was surprised by pink's statement because pink seems to be her biggest copycat. 'everytime i turn around,' said xtina artlessly, 'it's like, ohmygod, didn't i wear that yesterday?'

+the bonus track on pink's new album has as its chorus 'you ain't nothin but a hooker, sellin your fuckin soul.' the lyrics, which are ( EXTREMELY HARSH, )

are rumored to be aimed at xtina.

+assume that the lyrics ARE about xtina. your speculation should immediately take you to these questions--is pink really that self-deluded (or knowledgable about xtina, where we are not)? does she really think xtina is fake? does she really think being original is somehow copying? wtf is going on here? and is xtina really on crack?

+i think this is screaming to be made into femmeslash. there's some extremely serious bad blood here that we're not seeing on-stage, as it were. pink had a crush. xtina dissed her. what happened? go forth and write. no, seriously, i'm thinking about it, and thinking about writing it, and what i want to know is... what does everyone else think happened?

edit: for instance, the lines 'you don't give a fuck,' 'you don't react,' 'i coulda taught you so much'--suggest a bitter ex. or perhaps a sort of start of a relationship that ended badly before it got off its feet.

i don't usually do this type of meme because i usually can't think of any comments to make when...

...other people do them, but ninglor has intrigued me. so:

Post anything that you want here, and post it anonymously. A story, a secret, a confession, a fear, a love... anything. Make sure to post anonymously and honestly. Post as many times as you'd like. Then, put this in your LJ to see what others have to say.

this is a well-expressed essay in favor of making the move to depose bush in the next election less hysterical and more credible to the average joe by avoiding demonizations which will cause you to immediately lose your audience.
