Something learned...

While down in California, I hypothisized that I am missing some fundimental girly gene. I don't really like Ani DiFranco or Tori Amos or Sarah McLaughlin. Not really. I won't turn it off if I hear it. I appreciate the talent that goes into the music. I'll even sing along since a lot of the songs fit my vocal range.

I just don't seem to have the reaction that other women I know have to these people. They don't mean anything special to me. I am not 'deeply touched' by them.

I think maybe I traded that gene in for the 'appreciate fast shiny things' gene.

You know, I like Ani and Tori and Sarah, but for different reasons. Yes, I know everyone puts them in the same genre, but they're completely different to my ear/mind. Personally, I don't think it's a girly thing by and large, but there are things that each of them do that seem to tend to put men off, which is IMHO why they get classified as chick music.

Oh, and I definitely have the fast shiny things gene, and the mechanically-ept gene, and the "adrenaline good!" gene.

Hmmmm. I can appreciate those genes. I like taking things apart to see how they work. And adrenaline is fun.

Genetics!

I think I've found my problem.

I have the slacker/videogame geek gene.

I think you'd look awesome in jeans, but that's a different topic altogether. Then again, now that I think about it, I can't remember what you were wearing the one time I've seen you. So...

Also, I JUST noticed the 'some quotes I like thing' along the right side of this page.

And, my estimation of you rises. Again.

Dammit, why do all the cool people live somewhere that's not California.

I was probably wearing black jeans. I think I was wearing black jeans all weekend.

B5 is great. Sometimes I forget but its great.

Ok, so you probably do look good in jeans.

I remember that you looked good in the outfit you were in, but not what it was.

Granted, this is in that observational. "Nice outfit" sort of way.
