So, this week’s been the bomb diggity. Lots of changes, which you’ll read about in a press release this weekend. I got a job, additionally, so I’ll get to be an actual grown-up girl again. Healthcare and flight benefits. Score.

Anyway, on with the show….

YAWNING PANTERA FAN. Southbound Brown Line, 8/6, near Diversey. You: short black hair, sunglasses, Pantera shirt, great tattoos, incredible smile, beautiful. Me: black T-shirt, clean-shaven head, goatee, glasses. Couldn’t stop looking at you. I smiled as you left train, you yawned, apologized for it. Care to meet over coffee? (Chicago Reader)

“This is Kitty. She’s my sweetheart of darkness,” said Curry, grinning like a motherfucker, as he introduced his lady to Phil Anselmo, Pantera’s longtime frontman. The lead singer moved his eyes from Kitty’s chest to her face and thought for sure he fucked her from somewhere.

In high school, Ezekiel still went by his given name, Tim, and was just getting into the goth scene. He left the day after graduation, bought a bolt of velvet, and never looked back.

You Pink Shirt and Pink Socks – m4m – 28 Oh my god you were so cute looking at the listings at Great American Music Hall. Our eyes caught, but I was all hot from carrying groceries, hot from seeing you, that I couldn’t get the nerve to come and say hi. (San Francisco Craig’s List)

“This is what happens when you watch Amelie too often, sweets,” said Tina. She put an arm around Keith. He nodded in agreement, but still felt blue that nobody ever responded.

On the train (18/03/03)… - m4w I sat across from you. You got off at Leicester. I’d like to buy you a drink. (London Craig’s List)

“Is that me? I ride that train. Maybe that’s me. Why couldn’t it be? And if it’s not, maybe I should respond anyway because you never know and what a good story that would be to tell our kids?”
