I saw you for the first time last Friday. I have been a friend for awhile on here, but some common friends convinced me to come out and hear you live. I have this to say:
You are EVIL, EVIL, EVIL. Why you ask? Because everyday all day since I have had songs bouncing around my tiny little brain. Evil. Even when I was on a flatbed trailor next to a glorified pond playing a show of my own this is what I heard... "Don't stop, thinking about me all the time... "... and I didn't. Evil. Evil. Evil. Evil...
Hello Ladies!!!!!! I am super pumped for your show next week!!!!!!!!! I have sent out invites via Lotus Notes, Tom is already in for both shows and he is requesting that you try to get the ACB's to party with us afterwards. Can we make this happen?
Zowie! According to that tattletale of a MySpace profile, Softee is on-line right now. Oh, god, what do I say? How do I look? Wait, how's my breath?
Will I even get to see them, to talk to them, to hold their hands? Will Softee be mobbed before I get my chance? If I bring this machete and clear a path through their throng of fans, with they be horrified by the gore and the (some could call it this) "stalking", or will they be impressed by my creativity and dedication as Their #1 Groupie?
How's my hair?
This is thrilling, this is Nirvana (the feeling and location of paradise, not the group; for one, Softee, unlike Nirvana (the group) actually sounds good; for two, Courtney Hole is nowhere around), this is a whoop-dee and and whoop-doo. I get to hang out with Softee on MySpace!
Eat that, Kristy Larsen, head high school cheerleader and girl who claimed I'd never amount to anything! I bet you're jealous now, you pyramidal Barbie doll!
It was so great to meet Sarah & Mimi last night... Sarah you sounded amazing.. you really should duet with Erik more often! (in between Softee stuff of course!!)
Ma's fine. She's sleeping right now, which is good, because then she can't see what naughty things I'm doing On The Internet. But, I kid. I'm a good guy. I don't even know how to spell "naughty".
The kid? He's dandy. True, I take great risks with him, but he still can't even control his neck, delights in pooping (you can tell it's a poop grin when the smile turns megawatt), and doesn't even know enough to dodge when I talk to him before I brush my teeth in the morning. So, I'm doubting he'll recall any of the trauma I put him through. (All bets are off when he's college-bound. He'll probably insist on changing his own diapers by then. )
