strange...not you, that you weren't into music, your general demeanor suggests you were a punk rocker of noteworthyness...

[bertine.livejournal.com]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

i am like the anti-punk rocker.

[sand-in-my-soap.livejournal.com]

nawwwww.... your style screams "strawberry shortcake with facial piercings"

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

Funny you should mention that. "Strawberry Shortcake" is my posse's nickname for one of my big crushes at the bar I frequent. She's VERY "girl next door". And actually skips when she dances. She's too damn cute!

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I skip sometimes

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

Le sigh!

[bertine.livejournal.com]

mostly down the hall back from the bathroom at work because i want to run it.

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

Do you make little vroom and braking sounds?

Adorable!

[sand-in-my-soap.livejournal.com]

not as cute as B though, that would just be criminal...

[bertine.livejournal.com]

you guys!!!

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

There's no point in flattering her because she's got a boy in her life right now.

She's a cradle-robber.

[sand-in-my-soap.livejournal.com]

not flattering. flirting maybe, but I also live like a million miles away from anyone so it's not like I'm ever going to see her...or many other people for that matter...

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

I hear ya! I have friends all over, and I'm probably never going to meet most of them.

But I have been to Minnie, and it is my kind of town.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

awww!

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

We could start a bertine fanclub and community.

Maybe print up a Bertinezine.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

he is adorable!

[bertine.livejournal.com]

i don't have any facial piercings, i am too not punk rock

[sand-in-my-soap.livejournal.com]

But not having them is so "not" mainstream...your busted...next thing your gonna tell me is that..oh forget it...

[bertine.livejournal.com]

what?!

oh forget it just makes me want to know more!

[sand-in-my-soap.livejournal.com]

...that your not really a geek, and that your really one of the cool kids who used to beat me up on the playground and put sand in my yoghurt...

[bertine.livejournal.com]

nah, i was a total bookworm. i was too shy to talk

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

What's an anti-punk rocker? It's true, you never mention music. What music do you listen to, B?

[bertine.livejournal.com]

whatever i like at the time.

right now it is modest mouse and the yeah yeah yeahs

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

Okay, I meant other than the Yeah yeah yeahs. Those are both great bands.

I was into music at an early age. I grew up with people who defined themselves by their musical taste.

"You like U2? We can be friends."
"You like the Cure???? We can be BEST friends."

[bertine.livejournal.com]

lol, yeah, i sort of avoided that.
