Sorry for my quietude – i am simultaneously writing a song in my IM-window with Spoon and reading all of WockerJabby‘s archives (she’s been around since march! That’s forever to me…). Lyrics might be forthcoming,… it’s a weird alternate tuning thing… i’m not even sure what tuning it’s in right now, actually. So far it might be called “can’t cure love.”

Finally…. finally, an attractive gay man flirted with me at work today. I was starting to think i ranked very low on the gaydar, or whatever it is. A gay friend tells me it’s found behind the spleen. Meanwhile, have you noticed that i hardly even whine about the fact that i register at all? Yep, i’m pretty much resigned to a life of having men hit on me, 1 in 10 of which won’t make me wanna run away in fear. Cause, i can only make pleasant non-flirting conversation with an ugly person for so long, you know.

Enough yapping; it’s off to the coffee shop for me. I’ll be back in seven hours, smelling of expresso. And, who knows, that could be a turnon for someone…

I get asked at least once a month by strangers if i’m Canadian or British. Apparently i just don’t fit into their preconcieved North American Eastern Seaboard standards of communications. Or maybe it’s because i’m fragile-looking and i have odd taste in music. Hell, if that qualifies me for British or Canadian citizenship, let me in already!

I absolutely dislike Am i Hot or Not? because it’s obviously a very negative environment where only the very conventionally sexy are given any credit. Having said that, it’s been brought to my attention that my folk-idol Peter Mulvey has had his picture uploaded to that wretched website. It’s always been one of my favourite shots of him, and i encourage you all to go and give my favourite singer-songwriter a rating higher than 5 or 6 so that he won’t feel ugly if he ever goes to take a look. Or, maybe not all singer-songwriters have such fragile egos, but i’m not sure yet.
