Julie Newmar. there is something twisted about being three sisters. a story i tell happened in grade school: every year, no fail, my older sister would be voted by her entire batch to be the Virgin Mary in the Easter nativity play, and so would my younger sister. i, every single year, was forced to just co-write that friggin' play and not once was asked to play even a tree. and people wonder about the middle child syndrome.ask any middle child: the right kind of attention means the world to them. this is why i give a flying fuck. over who took the extra mile - the extra 80mb of uploads, as it were - to make my Christmas. what's dedicating an entire post to my good peeps? it's less psychotic than resenting siblings with long silky black hair, who resemble the mother of Jesus, don'tcha think?to Mike (marigold), i grant (cough, virtually, cough) three Jinni wishes and a donkey. the idea alone of being mogmailed a secret code made me swoon before i knew what it actually meant. what it actually meant was Mike gave me a private code to a digital download of No Shouts, No Calls by Electrelane, which he got for purchasing the vinyl. this came at the height of my Internet woes and i screwed up the download but Mr. M, instead of throwing fits and cursing my clan, said, no worries, i'll get it to you one way or another. and he did. it involved more of social networking than secret coding ultimately but the thought really, really counts.to Scott (scotfree), i bequeath five magic beans and a donkey, and so should Yousendit.com. we got into talking about how Easy Action sounded so different than the Alice Cooper i remember and, faster than i could say I Never Cry, he had sent me the entire album; i wonder if i overused "hypothetically" in conversation and left him no recourse! again with the Internet blues, the link expired before i could download so he sent it a second time. as if that were not enough, he gladly discovered Oh Astro through a post i did and, upon (cough, creatively, cough) getting a copy of their album Champions of Wonder, why, sent that to me as well.to Danny (soulrocket), Dave (dachmo), and Colin (FluxCapacitor), i present gold, frankincense, and myrrh (sigh, my final birth of our lord crapola for the day), and a donkey. it's hard to say why but, along with Mike and Scott, they show up at the right sometimes bearing the right something. it's freaky, like telepathic good guys. (no, strike "good guys", they'll never talk to me again.) special mention to Kristiana, Micki, Connie (Lady C), Amber, Lizzie(greeneyes), Cynthia (Girlcrawl), Helen (SunshineDaydream); no presents, just lots of love. also, i made sure to let certain people know i am very glad to know them in mog. you know who you are, y'all get a door prize.(i know: all i've done all week is shower the world with an icky excess of love and joy. shut up, i'm overcompensating for a sad childhood. [not really.] it's back to music after this post, believers.) happy new year."This very personal story may only make sense to me."
