Reconciling Saints

Some of you remember this...




He's NOT kidding. Check out his website

To all my childfree friends I send you this:

~Disclaimer to my friends with kids... Come on! It's funny! Also, technically this is also true of people in long relationships ::clears throat:: So really this is more for the single girls*...

The lovely (and newly engaged!) Chloé sent me this article which, we agree, is the best written explanation as to why we were (are...what?!) so enthralled with the Twilight series.

You might remember also that the same Chloé (it's 'cause she's super cool... and has a great sense of humor... and she's super smart but doesn't take herself seriously... ) sent me what led to this post. Well, there's apparently a rebuttal:

Yesterday was Amanda Fucking Palmer's birthday. She's a Taurus JUST LIKE ME and she turned 33 JUST LIKE I WILL in 19 days... 18 days??? Does one count today as one or count from days to?
Whatever.

She likes to refer to this as Jesus year. I'm gonna have to go with her on this one.

Anyway, when asked what she wanted for her birthday, she said:

here is what i’d like for my birthday:

please take this moment in time and think about one person, any person, who you think might like my music and my art. someone who doesn’t know it.
someone who does not have amanda fucking palmer in their life and might like her there.
this does not have to be a peer. it could be a child, a mother, an ex, an uncle, an befriended enemy, a co-worker, a long-lost friend, a teacher, a whatever. ANYONE.

picture them in your mind. picture if their life might possibly be made better if you brought some afp into it.

NOW:
please send/get to them them either of the following (in any format your lifestyle or computer literacy allows for. and explain why you are sending this. explain why you like this artist. explain that it’s her birthday and she’s asked you, as a favor to her, to do this.
the worst they will do is delete your email, tell you to fuck off, or disown you)

either
1-a copy of WHO KILLED AMANDA PALMER. if you don’t think they have the attention span for the whole album, send them a track.
or
2-a youtube clip of one of your favorite AFP videos.

So, kids, I give you "Oasis"
