i know. what's up with the extra waxy crayons? like.. i cannot stand using the white one for that same reason. carnation pink is also like that to some extent. there's also a cruddy yellow-esque one, but i don't remember what it's called.

and.. it's always gotta be crayola. none of that rose art BS... ALL of those crayons suck.

i luv 2 colorrrrrrr

but did you get glitter crayons with it?

I love coloring too. I always tend to go overboard though. after coloring what is supposed to be colored, I'd always darken eyebrows, put blush on the bitches and sometimes color in highlights in their hair.

i am too jeans and t-shirt for all that glitz. the last few times, i've been coloring with my favorite markers, because i'm a big girl and mom says it's okay since they're washable.

i get all perfectionist and make straight lines.. then all my pictures look like they came out of an inkjet printer that hasn't been calibrated!

i do like to color with crayons... but it usually takes me way, way longer, cuz i have to blend colors and make everything all ~artistic~.

are you one of those colorers who makes the dark outline in each area?

(i am totally snickering at this conversation.)

depends. if the black lines in the coloring book are thin, then i will. but if they're really thick, then no, cos that makes no sense. wait ...

I think you need to stay out of it. It's not your fight. Your bandmates don't have to be your friends, and your friends don't have to be your bandmates. It's nice when they are, but the band is more of a business relationship, not a personal one.

So much of rock is the bad attitude. Listen, I understand where you're coming from, having been there myself. What I've learned, actually just recently, is that you can be the soccer mom "let's organize times" guy, or you could be the boss and let them know up front that they can easily be replaced and that bull**** won't be tolerated. The key there is you need to be confident in yourself to be effective in this role.

Do the gig with "icky people" and the next day or week announce to the school paper that you've kicked these guys out and are looking for new players. Say something like "they're good players, but I don't feel they were the right players for the direction I was wanting to take my music". It makes you look important AND it makes them look like idiots. As for the girl, NO! You are purely plutonic. Otherwise, some jackasses stealing wine will seem pretty minor.

No matter what group of people you get, you're never going to see eye-to-eye on everything. To be in a band, you have to let things slide. It's not always easy. As I said, bands are more of a business relationship. The golden rule is that if it hurts the band, they're out.

Finally, QUIT THINKING SO MUCH and worrying about what other people think! If you're confident in it, if you think your stuff is good, then keep doing it regardless. Never take the attitude that it's an honor for me to perform this for you. Always take the attitude that it's an honor for you that I'm here performing. It may sound cocky/arrogant. Whatever. Anyways, overthinking will totally screw with your performing.

I just wanted to say thank you. I appreciate all the time you just took in saying all of that, and I think you are right on. It is great.

Oh BTW, why don't you think the new girl thing would work out?

i keeps it real like that.

as far as the expensive thing goes... my mom used to say that during the course of saying no. and when i look back on it now, i'm like, "wtf, they're only 2.99. we could afford 2.99. she was lying to me!"

she wouldn't buy me play-doh either. but that's because it was "too messy". looking back.. i can remember like, 2 different periods of time that i had play-doh. mom made me play with it outside on the porch, with newspaper down. then, at the end of the play session, it was thrown away. single-use play-doh, and not 'cuz it was dirty and gross from the newspaper ink, but because it was too messy for the house. again, looking back, im like, "wtf, we have hardwood floors!"

my childhood was all lies.
