So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

32 yo black male rapper interrupts 19 yo blonde white country singer, and you don't think it factors in? I think the "average viewing public" and especially Taylor Swift fans were unaware of Kanye's previous shenanigans, and may not have been familiar with him at all.

I think the average viewing public were probably aware of him from his post-Katrina truth-telling. Which, you know, bolsters your argument there.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

He also, it seems, has a crush on Aaron Sorkin and Linwood Boomer, because a lot of the reason we love these women is they've played extremely-well written and verbose characters.

He does like the smart wimmens. t buffs nails on sweater

t AND he'll be 18 in a matter of weeks!

WOOHOO!! GO TEAM JACOB!!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I can't possibly explain why that grosses me out, but it sure does.

Well, using the first name affectionately does seem like it would be a tad narcissistic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I still want to go out with a guy named Jesse someday, just for the lulz.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I worked with an awesome guy named Robin once and we totes would have dated if not for the fact that I was already with Jason.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I will never date a guy named Peter.

Except, of course, if I do.

I'm currently on the phone with a woman whose name rhymes with mine, and my boss's boss's name rhymes with mine, if you muff the "t." When we all have to talk with each other it gets a bit confusing.

But best was my long-time krav partner whose name is mine prefixed with one letter. Nothing as simple as Rita, so people had to remember another weird name, and they mixed us up. Not that we did anything alike other than beat people up left-handed. And I was only left-handed when I worked with her, so it really confused people.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I have not yet dated another Sara(h). But it could happen!

I have no feminist cred when it comes to music

I (still!) listen to Motley Crue. I don't think I ever had feminist cred about music.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I know two people whose names on paper rhyme with ita's, (a Vita and a Geeta) but of course neither are pronouced the way I've learned to say ita's name, even just in my head.

I used to work somewhere where on one day each week, there were five people on shift - two Brendas and three Daves. And there was the period when my boss, my brother's boss, my closest friend's boss and my dog all had the same name. Made for some pretty hard-to-follow conversations, especially at happy hour.
