would you be in a band, or are you more of a solo artist? i bet you think i'd say i'm a solo artist but i... i'm not. i am a band mate. i mean, i don't want to be a lead singer. (well, not since jr high when i imagined a whole band called anglefire where i wore thigh-high go-go boots over a satin jumpsuit. hey. it was the 70s. c'mon.) anyway, not the lead. and as much as i love the thought of being a drummer, not that either. i'd just play bass, which, unless you are paul mccartney, is fairly simple. you know. boum-boum-BOUM-boum. just a bassline. i mean, i'm not a slacker. it's not like that. i just want to hang out with people who are talented... i want to be in a good band. like, people will say, ohhh - you're in [insert good band name here] and they'll respect me. like, by association. not that i'm not respectable on my own. sheeee. not explaining this well. it's like... i want to hang out with people who are better, more talented, more skilled. i'd pull my own weight and all. i just don't want to hang with losers. when i hang with losers, that's what i feel like. a loser. i want to hang with winners, and if i have to lay down simplistic basslines to make that happen, you know i will.
