And I'm an engineer! I haven't gotten hit on yet, but I've definitely gotten a much higher percentage of cuties checking me out when I wear the "your new boyfriend" shirt. I'll have that toaster-oven yet! ObFru: the last time I heard them (at Rosebud in Pittsburgh) they did an old tune about Marion Fruvous. If anyone has the lyrics, I would really really love to see them.

Hmm....usually, when I wear my "Your New Boyfriend" shirt, people misinterpret it as some weird homosexual message or something. I am not gay, so this is really frustrating. Not to mention that the shirt clearly says "YOUR new boyfriend" and not "my new boyfriend." so, the "your" is directed at the reader, not the wearer. I guess I know a lot of stupid people.

I personally love Jian's shirt of "I dig your boyfriend." Not that I like boys, mind you, but the shirt would be great for it's shock value down here in conservative, religious, belt-buckle-of-the-bible-belt, Texas.

But a whole lot of teeny, tiny, one voices add up. I think : history proves that (as we just, both Canadians and Americans, celebrated our : independence recently) we sometimes CAN make a difference. I will sign petitions if it is something I believe strongly in. However, but the same token I am a realist in that petitions only have power if large groups of people band together on an issue. If that doesn't happen, the petition has no real power. If I really felt that my voice carried no weight and didn't matter, I wouldn't even vote. I just recognize exactly how little weight it does carry on it's own.

(although i s'pose bnl has made the mainstream now with _stunt_, so i might get more than a blank look when i mention them to someone. ;p) but i like to think my obsessions have positive effects (heck, i got a group of 12 together to see fruvous in columbus!), and they keep me off the streets & out of trouble, n'est-ce pas? anyways, that's what i do. unless i've forgotten something (as one is want to do after waking up at 4:15 am... darn those early-morning flights). i've noticed that many frufans are artists, and someone even mentioned RENT (it's coming to dayton next year! yay!). three cheers for the arts! *heh* make that one cheer, i'm too tired to muster any more energy than that... ^kat^ "but you have drunk me dry and i'm afraid of heights" ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #121 ********************************************
