Mimi, if your "Jerome The Vampire" series wasn't the most hilarious thing I've read in ages, I would have to hire someone to break your knees.
Dierdre, for the love of God, PLEASE DON'T GO.

Mimi, what Iago-like sweet nothings are you whispering into Gabriel's ear?
Jesus H. Christ, people.
Gabriel: It's really simple. APOLOGIZE for broadcasting confidences on the internet. Although I appreciate the futile attempt to persuade Dierdre against her current course of action, that was wrong of you, and you know it. Don't write an angst-filled poem about it. Just be a human person and try to be there for your friend.
Dierdre: I've written a total of 42 paragraphs about your conundrum, so I think that will suffice, but you should also know that I have abandonment issues.

Good. That bitch was crazy.
Posted by: Dom | Nov 1, 2005 9:58:10 AM
Welcome Dom -- always glad to have a new reader posting.
I would like to clarify, however, that Dierdre was not always crazy. She GOT crazy, but she did not start that way.
Great things ahead. Details soon.

Fuck the new banner. Fuck the "absorbing Marilyn Manson." And fuck Gabriel and Dierdre's divorce. (Think of the children!)
I am going to hijack this useless thread to link to a fab new Trent interview.
In particular, I would like to foster discussion of the following:
"What's romantic music to you?,
I got to say, I don't think I've ever been asked that question. You mean, if there was romance in the air and I had my iPod sitting on my desk...
That's what I'm saying.
Uh, that would range from Debussy to D'Angelo -- Voodoo, in particular. Perhaps Erykah Badu, Sigur Ros or Brian Eno's latest album, Another Day on Earth. They all come in handy."
I don't think I'd be able to hypothetically make out with Trent with Sigur Ros in the background, not without bursting into fits of giggles. I would only think of Meathead, and that would be unfortunate at that moment. The D'angelo would probably be a bit much for me as well. My vote is for Debussy.

Watch your comments on the new banner, bitch.
The new banner is the future.
Scratch that; it's not the "new" banner. It is simply the banner.
Posted by: Gabriel | Nov 1, 2005 10:40:43 AM
That interview is awesome, but do you think it's enough to drag Dierdre back?
Posted by: Jane | Nov 1, 2005 10:43:17 AM
"Watch your comments..." What, are you Stalin now?
I'll thank you not to address me as "bitch," bitch.
Posted by: maise | Nov 1, 2005 10:43:35 AM
Somebody get a mop. I think my head just exploded.
Posted by: emerald527 | Nov 1, 2005 10:47:29 AM
Sorry, Mz. Bitch.
There is no Stalin, there is only Gabriel. But don't bother writing a big long comment bitching about and rejecting the new direction and future of Wearing_These_Chains.
This was not my decision.
Posted by: Gabriel | Nov 1, 2005 10:48:19 AM
One would hope that the planets have been perfectly aligned just so Trent would tease us with the prospect of seducing us all with D'Angelo and Brian Eno at the exact same time that Dierdre is contemplating fucking abandoning us.
So yes, I hope she returns triumphantly. If Gabriel "Uncle Joe" Miller doesn't have her assassinated in Mexico City first.
Posted by: maise | Nov 1, 2005 10:51:15 AM
Oh, and Dear Leader?
Maybe you wouldn't have to take the website in new and exciting directions to face The Future if you would just fucking apologize for being a complete douche on Friday.
Posted by: maise | Nov 1, 2005 10:52:58 AM
Thanks for the welcome, Gabriel. I'm a longtime reader, though, and I have to tell you that that bitch has always been crazy. Your blog has a fighting chance to not suck now that she's gone.
Posted by: Dom | Nov 1, 2005 11:00:24 AM
Brian Eno all the way. Come on, they used "Music For Airports" in 9 1/2 Weeks (the cassette deck that automatically flips over the first time she goes to his apartment). I have had numerous sexual encounters to various Brian Eno works over the years - it must be because we share the same birthday - I think we Taureans as a whole transmit most of our communications sexually, whether consciously or unconsciously, because we are such sensual people ruled by the mother of love and romance, Venus herself. Isn't that right, Trent? Come on, now, come over here and prove me wrong... :P
(by the way, maise, notice how I'm completely ignoring all the new changes and impositions by wotzisname. I'm staying to be in touch with YOU guys...btw, anyone heard from bex? Or did she, like me, feel that she had stumbled across a hijacked site when the new banner revealed itself, and start checking her spyware? And I'm not even gonna START about my fucked-up sister. But I will say that she and Dierdre have something in common - love makes them both blind and stupid!)

See, the thing about that interview is that now Trent opens up a whole new world of speculation.
Could he, in fact, make out in all seriousness to Barry White? Or a song entitled "Sex Wit You"? (featuring the timeless and oh-so-romantic line, "Sex with you is like when the man at the dealership hands over the keys to my new car"
Is there any song that you would absolutely have to stop before any making out could continue? Don't get me wrong...I do like R&B, but I think if any man, anywhere tried to play this song to get me in the mood, I'd have to put my foot down.
Posted by: maise | Nov 1, 2005 11:59:35 AM
Oh and Dom,
Welcome to the fold, but one more word about Dierdre, and I will bite you in the ass.
Posted by: maise | Nov 1, 2005 12:05:08 PM
I get your point, maise, but (and I can only speak for one Taurean, which is myself) I have made out to Barry White and other cheesy R&B tunes. (Except for "Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell...I'd have to charge for that) The fun thing is that you're giggling half the time, and you end up being quite relaxed with your partner. You feel less inhibited, and sometimes you wanna stand up and dance around the pole in your living room. Um, you do have a pole in your living room, don't you? I thought everyone did...
But back to Trent's answer. D'Angelo and Erykah Badu aren't cheesy, well Erykah isn't. D'Angelo is smooooooooooooth. It's swoonable music. And there ain't nuthin' like a sweet sweet dose of thumpin' bass to get the juices flowing, nowutimean?
Finally maise, re: your song up there. Rumour has it that Beyonce's pregnant. So that song must've worked somehow somewhere fo'someone...
Posted by: Buttercup | Nov 1, 2005 12:28:02 PM
I think my problem is that I'm all geeked out and ironic and inhibited and cannot purposely be smooooooooooooooth. And if, in fact, anyone attempted to be smoooooooooooth with me, I'd either be really weirded out or I'd start laughing. I think I would flee from a roaring fireplace or artfully arranged candles and not just out of pyrophobia. Massage oils and bubble baths...BLECH. I've got a super-quirky sex drive, what can I say?
And stripper pole? Sorry, but no. After listening to my mother-in-law verbally describe an episode of Oprah regarding a "stripper workout" and joke about installing a stripper pole of her own in her bedroom, pole-dancing is now a permanent turn-off.
Posted by: maise | Nov 1, 2005 1:06:08 PM
Oh, and just to make things clear, I'm not dissing Sigur Ros or D'Angelo or Erykah Badu or any of the above.
(Except for "Cater 2 U," the lyrics of which I linked to above. That's some horrendous, subservient shit. I will tie no man's do rag.)
I'm only talking in terms of "Would you, could you get it on with these songs in the background?" Just my personal quirk, but if I walked into a room, and there's some music that's all [breathy] "Hey, baby" playing, I might just walk back out.
Posted by: maise | Nov 1, 2005 1:15:42 PM
Oh jesus fucking christ. -_-
Dom: Shut the fuck up.
Gabe: The fact that you're listening to Manson scares me. And annoys me. Seriously, put on something good.
Posted by: Kim | Nov 1, 2005 1:16:54 PM
Here I am kids.
Firstly, (I've stated this before, will do it again) I think Manson looks like a fucking ugly buzzard and worse yet, screeches like a goat who's getting his testicles clipped off (who told that guy he could sing???).
Secondly, the banner; I'll have to see what transpires.
I will say I'm saddened that D. will not talk to us anymore. I don't want to get involved in the feud, because I love all you bitches.
Romantic music & pole dancing, I dunno, I suffer from vertigo, I'd probably lose my balance, sling myself across the room and get injured. So much for the hot sex that evening!
Why does the inteview w/Trent say it was posted 11/3/05? That's my birthday. Did I step into a time machine?
I'm in DC tomorrow night. Not trying for a m&g as the parking/commuter situation there is so fucked and I'm in the process of pulling a 12 hour day at work right now. I'll try for a m&g in Philly or WB.
And Gab., step away from the Manson...quickly please!

babble babble
bitch bitch
rebel rebel
party party
sex, sex, sex
(and don't forget the violence)
blah blah blah
got your lovey-dovey sad and lonely
stick your stupid slogan in
everybody sing along
are you motherfuckers ready for the new shit?
Why would I step away from fucking brilliance like that?
Posted by: Gabriel | Nov 1, 2005 2:26:28 PM
Gab, WTF are smoking?
Posted by: bex | Nov 1, 2005 2:34:52 PM
Okay, I confess: that part of the song is really catchy.
But it's not a good sign for The New WTC that you're choosing GAOG-era Manson as your mascot. I'm just saying.
