my favorite thing, while you're playing songs, is gonna be saying, "oh, who's this?"
even if it's an album i own.
even if that album is in my car and i was playing it on the way over to your house.
i think it's just fun for me.
i like the movie secretary and old horror movies. that's all.

I admire artists.
I admire people who don't shut their mouths when people tell them they ought.
I admire people who can shut their mouths when they realize they ought.
I admire gutsy old broads.
I admire someone who thought of something that maybe never got thought before.
I admire follow through (because I got precious little 'a that).
I admire srtongly held beliefs and the stress that comes with.
I admire flexion within reason. Flexion with reason.
I admire definition and clarity and good all around folks.
