21. I wonder where that places me in terms of oldest/youngest chicks on this board... ...too tired to go figure it our right now

Don't lie..you're just an OC minimalist- that's why you like it this way!

Jeff and Me

Jess. With an optional -ica suffix.

ScriptedRain [also known as my boyfriend] told me about the site when he was buying Russian Circles. From that point on, it's been in my Favorites... ...as for the board: I've been randomly reading parts here and there for awhile, so I just decided to finally join it. I'm not on my computer that much during the summer, but now that college is back on, I need something to keep me busy on my laptop during lecture classes.

My parents don't really exhibit strong feelings about my vinyl collection or the music I listen to anymore. When I was a freshman in high school my Mom got upset when I blew my 'school clothes allowance' on black band t-shirts instead of the pink dresses and fashion accessories she had always envisioned I'd grow up to wear. When my Cobain obsession intensified later that year, we had the "YOU are not suicidal, are you?!" talk [because Cobain books + black band t-shirts on a 'pretty' girl naturally = suicidal]. When I got my license as a sophomore my Dad constantly made me promise I would take a 'strong guy friend' to the local shows I went to [promises that I almost never kept due to the musical stupidity of any 'strong males' I knew]. But now, as a senior in college, I basically just don't talk to them about music because I know that it's completely pointless. As for vinyl in particular, my Mom laughed when I showed her my records and said I should show my Dad "that red one" [Thursday- Five Stories Falling EP] because "they didn't come in colors when we were kids." A few days later, she suprised me with a stack of scratched--but still mostly working-- 45's and a couple of 80's rock albums and said I could have them. Then when I asked for vinyl for my birthday, they both told me to "ask Jeff for those gifts" and make them a list of "real gifts" to get [ie]. They are never mean about my vinyl collecting, they just think it's funny and weird that I spent my birthday money on records instead of an iPod.

I was just thinking that today! I realized that supper last night cost me Radical Face- Ghost and it was fairly depressing.

I'm far from complete on any of these, but I am [slowly] working on: Death From Above 1979 Nirvana Snapcase The White Stripes I know I'll never come close to having the Nirvana and White Stripes collections I crave [unless I somehow win the lottery despite never buying a ticket], but I still try to add to them whenever possible.
