Help. help!
Sep. 23rd, 2010 05:20 pmI'm being oppressed!
Have you ever been attacked by a word?
Like, one day after living your life for say, 30 years without it, in a random conversation someone mentions A Word. You've rarely or never heard it before and you're pretty sure you never will again, no one cares. But then, a few hours later as you're waiting for the bus a person passes by with a bag full of band names and the brightest, reddest name has that exact The Word. Two days later while you're picking out fruits in your local store, you look up in the mirror and there it is, behind you, The Word. Waiting, lurking. What does it want!? No one knows :(
I get those a few times a year. This time The Word is Pansy. I was watching some show a few weeks ago and that was a favorite insult of whoever was in it. Then last week I was looking into queercore and I saw Pansy Division, didn't like the sound much so I decided not to get it. Yesterday, while browsing some stranger's Tumbrl, I stumbled upon a Pansy Division song again only I couldn't remember who they are exactly until I gave it a proper listen. Still not impressed. So, today I'm watching QI and there's Stephen, talking about some flower, what flower could it be... OH YEAH IT'S A FUCKING PANSY.
So whatever, I'm downloading the band now.
Does this happen to you? Do you see me ranting about Blue October for instance and then you go help your kid with a poem and the poem mentions blue octobers?
