So in the end, the studio’s the villain of the story. Shocking.

Why else would he wear such sexy clothes if he didn’t want me to tell him that he’s “a sexy-ass motherfuckin’ sex-hound beast” and that I want to stick my hand down his underwear? Obviously he wants me to do that, or he wouldn’t be wearing that suit.

To cross threads, how can I possibly

I had a dream I was Jerry Cantrell. It was the mid '90s, and Layne Staley and I were writing a song together about hatred for neighbours.

During the writing process, we both realized we had to incorporate a famous Hollywood starlet into the song’s narrative. Charlie Sheen was there, and he suggested an obscure actress from the Golden Age of Hollywood. We decided the actress had to be both young and contemporary, so we didn’t run with his suggestion. We ended up choosing Denise Richards.

I recall the first few lines of that stanza:

Denise Richards lives next door to me

Looking sweet and pretty as can be

I forget the remaining lines. Essentially, the stanza was about the narrator realizing he hated Denise Richards 'cause she was a neighbour, too.

As we were finishing the song, Staley offered this as the closing line: “No singing, just a hum.” There was actually a bit more to the line than that, but at that point, I have run out of fresh pages in the notebook I was writing in, and my OCD wouldn’t allow me to jot the line down on a page with even a minimum of writing on. When I finally did find an unmarred page, I asked Staley to recite the line again, since I had forgotten the extra bits, but he was too far into a heroin-induced delirium to care anymore.

Time seems longer when you’re younger.

Indeed. I think a child year is two or three adult years.

I like The Cranberries’ original band name more than the one they eventually settled on.

I’m neither happily nor married, yet still agree.

That the thread is ridiculous? How so?

Don’t make me sigh.

My dream of last night can be summarized as follows:

*nervous laughter* what the fuck?

So your dream was the first few seconds of this tune?

My maternal great-grandmother may have been half-Native. Otherwise, I’m white as a fish’s underbelly.

I cannot change the tides, so I won’t continue trying.

I’m still curious about what you were going to say.

Only what others have already said, and in better words than I could muster.

I don’t think it’s crazy that some people want to put their best foot first and not make a bad impression. I don’t know if I’d say that’s being dishonest or lying. Just because you’re not necessarily airing all your bad qualities right away doesn’t mean you’re not being yourself. It’s natural to open up more the more you get to know someone. Again, I wouldn’t call that dishonesty.

If you’re months deep in a relationship and you still don’t feel comfortable being open and yourself, that’s not a relationship you should be in, simple as that.

This.

I’ve never been on a date, and I still agree with everything above.

My point is that most dating is not how they’re claiming it is. That’s been my complaint all along.

You’re still only giving a POV slanted by your own subjective experiences and biases.

And I simply believe that “Stormtrooper armor can save you from potentially lethal shots but you can get KO’d” is a better theory than “Stormtroopers wear useless armor just because”. Even if you take the mostly non-serious nature of SW77 in mind.

I agree.

Not what I meant. I meant people should not play weird mind games and lie to each other for the first several months or years of their relationship.

Honestly, you generalize too damn much. You’re starting to sound like a parody of yourself.

Isn’t the whole point of dating to trick someone into thinking you’re more likable than you actually are? I’m just being brutally honest, at least that’s how I see my comments.

No, the point of dating is to find someone who likes you despite your flaws, and vice versa. It’s not about lying to hide your flaws, or at least it shouldn’t be. Better to be upfront and let it end early than drag it out and let it crash and burn much later when your lies are exposed.

This guy dates.

I don’t, actually, though not for lack of trying…
