in response to my last entry, a lot of people spoke of a desire at one point in time or another to leave this website. i ask you... why? what is it with this site that makes you want to leave, yet keeps you here for reasons you can't seem to pinpoint?
in other news, i met a boy
"my mom bought me this shirt because she said it matches my eyes"
ok so he's a man
and he's fucking amazing. i met him back in february while i was dating one of my exes, and i just got in contact with him again on friday (very randomly, might i add). we hung out on saturday and it was the first time for us really having any sort of conversation. we drove around for about 4 hours, just talking and laughing. i brought him to meet my mother, and later she told me that she really liked him. i already knew; he's impossible to dislike. he's also only the 2nd guy i've ever dated who has met my mother.
he came to my work last night and then we went back to my place and he slept over. don't worry, he was a total gentleman! ok well not total... i had to buy a new work-appropriate shirt today that would cover up a couple hickeys. but you know
he didn't get fresh.
so today we went to old orchard beach. he let me drive his hot GTI. we went mini-golfing, where i proceeded to kick his ass by 7 strokes. then we walked on the beach and stopped to sit, him cradling me in front of him, and it was probably the most perfect string of moments i've ever experienced with a person.
if i die tomorrow, at least i had today.

Well, there are many things that make me want to leave...
I agree with Zahara on some level, there is a certain "conformity" I see among the girls who have sets go up. I happen to like the aesthetic, but it does seem to be more and more demographic marketed, you know?
I was attracted to the site initially because I'm an old school, DIY punk rocker, and I thought there was something here. But in the end, it seems to be more 'fashion punk' than punk-rock. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, it is what it is. Sean and Missy have built an amazing brand that has really taken hold--and some aspects, like the PSW community are really great. But it still feels less and less like an organic community to me, and more like a targeted marketing effort. Not too mention, it's a drain of time and money...
I keep coming back for the PSW community--although even that has been a little slow lately--and some of the friends I've met here. But I don't know that I'll be around indefinitely, either.
