Three important rules for breaking up
Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to
Prolonging the situation only makes it worse
Tell him honestly, simply, kindly, but firmly
Don't make a big production
Don't make up an elaborate story
This will help you avoid a big tear jerking scene
If you wanna date other people say so
Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected
Even if you've gone together for only a short time,
And haven't been too serious,
There's still a feeling of rejection
When someone says she preferres the company of others
To your exclusive company,
But if you're honest, and direct,
And avoid making a flowery emotional speech when you brake the news,
The boy will respect you for your frankness,
And honestly he'll apeciate the kind of straight foward manner
In which you told him your decision
Unless he's a real jerk or a cry baby you will remain friends

I'm head of the class
'm popular
I'm a quarter back
I'm popular
My mom says I'm a catch
I'm popular
I'm never last picked
I got a cheerleader chick

Being attractive is the most important thing there is
If you wanna catch the biggest fish in your pond
You have to be as attractive as possible
Make sure to keep your hair spotless and clean
Wash it at least every two weeks
Once every two weeks
And if you see Jonny football hero in the hall
Tell him he played a great game
Tell him you like his article in the newspaper

I'm the party star
I'm popular
I've got my own car
I'm popular
I'll never get caught
I'm popular
I make football bets
I'm a teachers pet.

I purpose we support a one month limit on going steady
I think It will keep you both more able to deal with weird situation
And get to know more people
I think if you're ready to go out with Jonny
Now's the time to tell him about your one month limit
He wont mind he'll apreciate your fresh look on dating
And once you've dated someone else you can date him again
I'm sure hell l did
Everyone will appreciate it
You so novel what a good idea
You can keep you time to your self
You don't need date insurance
You can go out with whoever you want to
Every boy, every boy, in the whole world could be yours
Iif you'll just listen to my plan
THE TEENAGE GUIDE TO POPULARITY

i really can't believe that they're still a band

They've made a few really really good records since those days, which is exactly why the mainstream has ignored them.

today!

I work on Lansdowne street. I had to walk around all the shit they're setting up to get to the building

oh yeah? does that mean I'll see you later on? I'm going to aim to be there by 5:30...but not sure how that will pan out...where do you park or do you take the T?

I take the T.
There are a ton of parking garages/lots right near by if yer wondering about the parking situation
I get out of work at 5pm generally. Maybe I'll run into you if I don't get out of here on time, that would be cool (not the working late part obviously)

if i can get there early, then i'll see you
it depends on my ride since i'm not driving.

I have some spots to park but i'm just wondering how bad it will be tonight...i'll try calling you if i get there early! I MIGHT be able to bring CD's with me (if i have time to go home first) and then you can have a look and see if you want to review any...i have a bunch!

succubus said:

cool! Yeah, just give me a call whenever you get to the area and if I am still here I'll meet you somewhere

This is clearly a new usage of the word "best" that I was previously unaware of.

but rich i will be there...iisn't that good enough?
hahahaha

Of course, darling.

nada surf is one of the worst bands of all time.

RichHorror said:

by best, they mean "bands best at inciting rich horror to go on a killing spree with his cane on lansdowne street"

yeesh dreadkill, i hope not...you want aaron to cry? Is it because you want him all for yourself?

now I'm sad =(

don't be sad. rich would only kill the bands and any ugly enthusiastic kids in the audience.

succubus said:

Yes.

i would like aaron all to myself. he shook my hand last night and i got a boner from his manly grip and lengthy, vigorous handshake. he's a brawny dreamboat.

I'd do a search but it doesn't work and show you that we already wrote up wills with who gets me if he croaks and who gets him if i croak

Who are the lucky parties, so that I might murder them?

OK Go is possibly the gayest band I've ever seen.

I wish GO! was playing in their place.

dreadkill said:

No way man, Let Go and The Weight is a Gift are amazing albums! Them. Taxpayer, Dear Leader, and Blackalicious are the only things there worth even considering checking out.

I'm here...good thing I brought a friend..we got our passes and were allowed in early....I saw a man wearing a dress and my friend told me he is a dj..henry santoro is his name I think...if he wore it another dj would give him 200 bucks..in turn he was donating it....mc lars is on now

Ok the donations are going to theo epstein...anyone care to enlighten me?

Ok go playing now....

Buffalo tom is almost done...charlatans (uk) are after..and then it's me running around btwn avalon, axis and bill's bar..

This place is packed..shot 2 bands inside..I don't feel like weaseling my way into bill's...I have backdoor and sidestage access to avalon and axis..so it's easy

Yep..nada surf opened with popular...

let go was a very important album for me.

carina called me when I was 1/2 way back to NH saying "ok, come pick me up [in boston]."
she was only kidding.

What a coincidence that none of these bands are the best.

i'm hoping that someone reviews elefant!
