Perfectly Legal Fun With Seventeen-Year-Old Boys
Paraphrased conversation had with Gawky Indie Teen at Beachfest:
Us: Blah blah blah blah...
GIT (turns around): Hey - are you guys talkings about Matthew Barber?
Friend (with an entirely straight face): Who's Matthew Barber?
GIT: That guy that just played.
Us: Oh yeah?
GIT: Yeah. He used to be cool.
Us: Oh yeah?
GIT: Yeah. He was all friends with Broken Social Scene and Joel Plaskett and those guys but then he went in another direction or something.
Me (also entirely straight-faced): Who's Joel Plaskett?
GIT: Thrush Hermit?
Me: OhhhHHHhhh.
Anyone who knows me & my friend knows why this was hilarious.
I think the gods were angry at our secret indie superiority. I got zapped with a rather nasty-looking sunburn on my shoulders and was also on the receiving end of a mild case of sunstroke. Yeow! Karmically punished!
Goodbye, summer.
My word. Where have the days gone?

Awww. Gawky indie teen was totally trying to hit on you guys.
IF WE COMBINED LIVES, WE WOULD BE A CANADIAN MUSIC INDUSTRY FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH.
(Plus, we'd have a really solid collection of lipgloss.)
Susan! I adore you. Just saying...
I will try to find my cool friend Carey in Helsinki and hook you two up. She's loads of fun, and has some very neat sweaters.
Smooch,

Dear Susan,
The house is a giant black hole sucking time and money into space. However, eventually I will be able to live there, so that's a bonus (my plans for the weekend: filling two very large holes left from pouring concrete posts for the front porch, and stripping old siding off the house. Woot.) Actually, I am very excited about how nice it will be when it's eventually done. Guest beds for everyone! Come visit!

Dear Susan and Daphna:
Uhhh - do you guys want each other's email addresses?
I kid! I kid because I LOVE!
You can keep conversing via my blog comments. I think it's absolutely precious.
Oh, how I love elitist indie snobs. There’d be no order in this world without us.
I scoff at YOUR lack of musical knowledge. SCOFF! Listening to Suede for the first time this year. Shameful.
No fairrrrr!!!
I knew Trash and Insatiable One. I...uhh...just didn't own any of their records, for whatever reason.
Lucky I have you around.
(I take comfort in the fact that I still kick your ass on '90s Haligonian indie knowledge.)
