- Rap music.
- The concept of a dress worn over pants (or even a skirt worn over pants for that matter).
- Why accents turn me on so much, for example Firefly's Badger (Mark Sheppard) drives me to distraction.
- CityRail's new timetable; fewer trains + more crowding + slower trips into the city = an 'improvement in customer service'. Huh?
- Why I'm still single.

5 Things I Don't Understand

Hey, at least you only have 5 things on your list! :)
Oh Bob, I'm the same way about accents. When the Thunder From Down Under showed up on Strip Search? Spit and polish, dude. But like you suggest, the right accent can make a dime from a nickel. Let me guess, though? American does nothing for ya.
I think it would be more accurate to say you don't LIKE rap than to say you don't understand it. The samples, the beats, the rhymes, what's not to understand? I am LOVING Gold Digger and all of Kanye's new bizness. Tupac was genius, I think.
Sunshine, let's just call this insatllment #1 'cause there are plenty of other things I don't understand...
Michael, sweetness, American accents give me the randypants too... I guess it's just that we hear so much of them (our media is quite heavily dominated by US programs) that they seem less exotic. Lil' Badger from Firefly with his bad-boy, compact Cockney goodness (plus the hat) is potent mojo.
Actually half the time I really don't understand Rap music, the lingua franca loses me for a start. I like a small %, ie Missy Elliott, but I find it so offensively negativ and sexist most of the time.
Although Rap as a genre is definately not up there on my favourite musical styles list, there are some artists that I do quite enjoy (Eminem, Scribe, Tupac, Run DMC, and Beastie Boys to name a few). I am so with you on points 2 to 4 though.
I ask myself that last question all the damn time. I mean its certainly not from lack of trying. Like I commented on Larry's blog earlier today, I am at a point now where I would be happy to give away all the great casual sex just to wake up every morning with a guy I love arms around me. Any number of people are happy to give me a blowjob (or any number of other things), but heaven forbid I should want to do something like give them a hug or a kiss. Is true intimacy so much to ask for people!? Every gay guy in this damn city seems to want only one thing, and unfortunately it does not seem to be a relationship.
*Sigh*
And Mikey, you can whisper sweet American nothings into my ear anytime Dude ;-)
Michael, who's a popular boy then?...
I know what you mean Bodes, the having of the casual sex has palled a bit for me of late too. It's total ego, but I'd like the feeling that someone has thought 'I choose you, above all others', and I'd like to also feel that about someone. Do you know what I mean? The idea that someone would be looking for my face first when they entered a crowded room.
Yeah, Michael certainly seems to have his Sydney Fab Club well enamoured with his American Charms.
OK, Andrew, lets do this. Damn, this skirt is riding up on my arse .... those heels look good on you TOA ... get your hands off my pom-poms ..... ok ... ready now? .... good, lets do this:
Oh Mickey Youre so fine,
Youre so fine you blow my mind.
Hey Mickey (HeyHey)
Hey Mickey (HeyHey)
Oh Mickey Youre so Fine,
Youre so Fine You Blow My Mind
Hey Mickey (HeyHey)
Hey Mickey
(Repeat Chant)
Hey Mickey
Youve been around all night
and thats a little long,
You think you've got the right,
But I think you've got it wrong.
Why can't you say goodnight
So you can take me home Mickey,
Cause when You say you will
It always means you won't
Youre givin me the chills
baby, please baby don't
Every night you still leave me alone
Mickey.
Chorus:
*Oh Mickey what a pity you dont understand
You take me by the heart
You take me by the hand
Oh Mickey Youre so pretty
Cant you understand?
Its guys like you Mickey
Oh what you do Mickey
Do Mickey
Dont break my heart Mickey.
Now When you take me by the hooves
Everyone's gonna know
Everytime you move
I let a little More show
There's Something we can use
So dont say no Mickey!
So Come on and give it to me
Anyway you can
Anyway you want to do it
Ill treat you like a man
Oh Please, Baby Please
Dont leave me in a jam Mickey!
Chorus:
*Oh Mickey what a pity you dont understand
You take me by the heart
You take me by the hand
Oh Mickey Youre so pretty
Cant you understand?
Its guys like you Mickey
Oh what you do Mickey
Do Mickey
Dont break my heart Mickey.
Chant:
Oh Mickey You're so fine,
Youre so fine you blow my mind.
Hey Mickey (HeyHey)
Hey Mickey (HeyHey)
Oh Mickey Youre so Fine,
Youre so Fine You Blow My Mind
Hey Mickey (HeyHey)
Hey Mickey
Yeah, Andrew, I know what you mean. Although for me, I don't think ego has much to do with my wish for a relationship. For me, ego more plays its subtle mind games in my casual quests.
As far as relationship goes, I just want to be able to share my life with another person, and in turn have that other person share their life with me. Its not about bulls**t romantic notions either, its a case of fully accepting another person for the sum total of who they are and still wanting to be with them anyway, for the good and despite any bad. Its being able to give and take. To grow and develop together. Ideally a growing friendship that almost organically of its own accord and over time, turns into a healthy, loving, and trusting relationship.
Gosh guys, I can't even remember the last time I inspired a costumed production number! :fans face:: Now I'm verklempt.
I know I said I don't even wanna marry some dude, but I do want a man to come home to, a man whose body fits with mine when I wrap my arms around him and smell his neck, a man I can't wait to see after only a few days, a man who doesn't tire of hearing me huskily whisper dirty, Midwest-accented stuff in his ear, a man who I long to breath into me....
** Sigh **
Did it just get hot in here all of a sudden?
yes. yes it did.
*peers through the steaminess*
ANYHOO - y'know, I thought that cockney accent was fake? doesn't do a thing for me... speaking of fakes, Alex Denisof as Hard Man Wesley in Angel (previously Pathetic Geek Wesley in Buffy) is still the most convincing English accent I have ever heard.
Speedy, he is actually English but the 'cockney' might be fake.
Alexis Denisof - ewwww! Even the made-over butched up Wesley = nelly priss.
