I know. If we can't get to St. Paul tonight to go to Luci I am going to be very ;_;

Okay, all the Sisters thread revivals have prompted this amazing set of stories on this thread about the roommate of RabiesAnGentlemen:

A friend of mine made a conscious decision at the age of 23 or so to go through a goth phase and got a Sisters Of Mercy tattoo.

I made a joke about him going through conscious phases at certain ages -- 24, dipsomania, 25, rehab, and the response:

You're on the right trail. He hasn't got to the rehabilitation phase yet, though sometimes when he's drinking weird Brittany Spears concoctions I urge him to do so (gastric bypass, not safe). But he's always pulling this stuff. For a while he wouldn't stop talking about his denim cape. Then it was his kilt. Then it was "all my friends' wives and girlfriends want to fuck me." He still brings an animal horn of some kind to the bars to drink from instead of the little plastic cups.

Just months before the goth phase he was telling me "I could never get into the Cure because they invented goth! Like six months or a year later he was dumped and listening to the Cure really loud in our living room. Awk-ward!

I...I must know more. But from this safe distance.

The snow is not falling as hard. I am hard-boiling vast numbers of eggs while reading Sisters of Mercy threads and listening to them via youtube.
Meanwhile, J is appealing to me for a game of chess (not that she has a clue how to play).

xpost Okay the animal horn thing is REALLY pushing the bounds of eccentricity.

Hey, YOU live in Minnesota, doesn't most of the state claim they're descended from Horst and Thor, the Viking buddies?

The way you write that makes it sound like they were the first homosexual couple in history and that somehow they reproduced to create MINNESOTANS

Also, if people claim that, I haven't heard it but that is probably because I've been stuck with the Norwegian Lutefisk-lovers for a long while.

qft

I was about to say, I am not backing down from this version of history, genetic or otherwise.

Minnesotans are good, but I'm not sure that we could have defied the basic laws of biology before, say, the 1970s at the earliest.

1973 to be exact

John was the first in a number of experiments gone slightly awry

lol, born in OH

And yet John's twin...

omg the experiments crossed state lines

I get a vision of a shambling monster infant running wild, mad scientists giggling in its wake....

Actually, this'll be Dan and John in forty years:

Right down to who has the cigarette in their mouth!

Since I was just told not to cut my hair until costumers saw me, I will probably also have an afro by the time May rolls around.

plz take pictures and post

Our lab instructor/prof showed us a picture of hersef at age 1 or so - she had a huge afro that was like 3x the size of her head. It was completely adorable. But she refuses to return to that hairstyle. ;_;

I like the idea of Dan with the gun looking mean while John smokes disapprovingly.

i just spent a buttload of money on new sunglasses, but i can't find new glasses i like
