This is one of those great songs that for whatever reason I haven't heard in over ten years. I never listened closely to the lyrics; I assumed he was just mocking some girl who lived a dull life. I only now realize he's singing about himself and asserting to would-be interviewers that you can have a good time even without alcohol or drugs, maybe along with a general rant about how rock stars are so often portrayed as overly hedonistic boozers druggies.

removed from the "I must respond to how I am portrayed in the PRESS!!" part of Adam's schtick, which was a big part of his schtick, this song does seem a little "what is he talking about," but it seemed quite clear at the time

When I was a very young kid I had an Adam Ant button that I won at a fair. I never heard any Adam Ant until much later in life, so I'd pretend that maybe he sounded like Falco, of whom I was only familiar with "Vienna Calling".

is it a sex drought if it's deliberate? you know you can get laid if you want to but you avoid it for whatever personal reasons.. that's a dam, not a drought, no?

Undammed if you do, dammed if you don't.
I think I'm at least 2/3 dammed, 1/3 bedroughted.

I've now gone 9 months without any intimate contact and about 4.5 years without having intercourse for longer than initial insertion, having been asked the three times my last girlfriend and I tried to remove it immediately. I like the dam/drought analogy. I think I'm 1/2 dammed, 1/2 droughted. I'm a serial monogamist who's terrified of getting into another bad relationship just for the sake of sex.

A girl spilled a drink on me last night. This is officially the most action I have gotten in my entire life. To celebrate I think I will stare at a cubicle wall for nine hours and listen to my neighbor in the cubefarm talk about her kids and then maybe jump off a bridge

Maybe, though? I don't think anything's going to come of it but it's hard to think of a cute girl grinding on my junk to "Dancing With Myself" as anything but a step in the right direction

Also an unexpected text: "I totally support your gender neutrality btw". In a way maybe the nicest thing anybody's ever said to me.

Masturbation is kinda like drinking piss or sea water: you can do it and survive but not for long. Or maybe it's like only drinking Brawndo. I need to have some sex. :-(

Every teenage boy knows the "baseball metaphor" thing. There's never been any consensus whatsoever as to what anything but home plate signifies, yet everybody insists that their interpretation (and only theirs) is the one true meaning
In any case TT things are lookin' up...
