a list of things i’ve been given by men who thought they really dug me until they met me

a few weeks ago i was having an e-mail conversation with my friend jason. we were talking about music and i was telling him how i can always tell when i haven’t spent enough time listening to music, because i don’t write. at all. there’s just something hardwired in my brain to respond to music. i don’t know what it is, but it seems that random songs trigger random memories in my head and make me want to write them down.

for instance, i am listening to jeff buckley’s cover of “Hallelujah” which is probably one of my top 10 favorite songs that is not sung by paul westerberg. as soon as i hear that exhalation at the beginning my heart immediately starts to beat differently than it was beating 10 seconds before the exhalation.

so anyway, jeff buckley’s on and suddenly i start thinking of this guy i knew a long time ago whom i called mr. hannah.

mr. hannah was one of many e-lationships i had with men i had met on the internet. mr. hannah lived somewhere that was not here and after a bit of time decided he simply must meet me (this sort of thing actually happened quite a bit more than one would probably imagine).

so mr. hannah flew into MPLS to get a gander at a 6’5″ supergenius. when he got here, he had brought me Jeff Buckley’s “Live from Sin-E.” this in turn made me think about all those other men who decided that they had to fly here to get a gander at a 6’5″ supergenius and the stuff they brought me. and what follows is a list of some of the stuff i have been given from men i was in some sort of weird e-lationship with:
pop tarts
a trix bobble head
about 29,018 mix tapes/CDs
the clap (ha! just kidding, but i couldn’t resist)
a stuffed mickey mouse
a superman magnet
a secret love letters kit
a vibrator
a bunch of books that they thought i should read, that never took into consideration my actual taste (which another discussion in and of itself)
lots of flowers

jeff buckley’s voice makes me want to have sex. doesn’t matter what he’s singing or that his songs can break your heart right into two pieces and insure it’ll never be back together again.

regardless of what he’s saying buckley, to me, sounds like sex. sadly, i only got to listen to two out of three buckley cds i own. promojoe promptly flitched “songs for my sweetheart the drunk” and has yet to return it. tomorrow i will get it back from him.

new levels of dorkiosity

Jodi Chromey — Mon, 04 Jun 2001 17:47:00 +0000

Because I am a dork, above all else, I am listening to the elephant love song mix from “moulin rouge.” Are you impressed by the whole new level of dorkiosity that I just invented? And you thought I had reached my peak!

So darling ones, I am getting my hairs all cut and colored this afternoon. I am most excited. My very favorite haircutterlady now colors hair too. Wahoo! She’s the absolute best and I just hated having some other chickie coloring my hair. I am sure I will be the swankiest of babes this afternoon. Sadly all this fleeting swankiness will be wasted on my co-workers.

In other news, my latest e-crush has reached epidemic proportions. As you well know I have had my fair share of e-c r u s h e s. but this new one is unlike any e-crush i’ve ever had before.

THE BOY, of dream interpretation fame, has really knocked me socks off and i am beside myself about the whole debacle. to make matters even goofier, he will be here on business in august. then he’ll spend the fall in chicago. really, what is a silly girl like me doing getting serious e-crushes on smart, witty, wonderful, keep-me-up-too-late-chatting boys in boston? am i insane?

i’ve had e-crushes before. but usually those dissipate after the first rush of euphoric get-to-know you has lost it’s shine. but this boy, still makes me grin mona lisa smiles in the middle of the day. darling ones, i think i’ve lost it.

back at the begining of

back at the begining of this brand new year, i made a few resolutions. so far, so sucky. but then. . . i never really like to jump into anything. actually, i haven’t been doing so badly. i designated 2001 the year of change here in gemland. it might have taken me a month, but things are changing. the new job, that’s going to be a huge change. the music buying, i started that last night. oh boy did i start that last night. i had to make up for slacking off in january. so last night i purchased: coldplay’s ‘parachutes’, david gray’s ‘white ladders’, jeff buckley’s ‘grace’, ryan adam’s ‘heartbreaker’, the jayhawks’ ‘smile’ and badly drawn boy’s ‘the hour of the bewilderbeast’. so yeah, i am getting the music and change thing down. but this cleaning, being a neat and clean person. this will probably be the death of me.
