This is kind of random, but I figured I'd just mention it and bring a little amusement into your day...
So, last Thursday night, my coworkers and I are all out at the bar for someone's farewell happy hour(s). Now, I like my coworkers - they're generally an enjoyable lot of happy, pleasant, amusing people. They're also snobs - music snobs, movie snobs, LOST snobs, The Amazing Race snobs...you get the point. :rolleyes: We got to talking about music genres (we're consultants - we're kind of boring like that) and someone mentioned emo, and about six people go 'What's emo?'
:eek: :lol: This lead to a huuuuuge drawn out discussion of what the heck is emo and what bands are emo and what bands were emo (but are now mainstream) and it was generally very amusing b/c we didn't agree on anything. [Sidebar: I have two younger sisters, both of whom went through a distinct emo phase, during which I wanted to strangle them approximately 120987986324.9 times an hour. QED: I know my emo shit. :p ]
It ultimately ended with someone miming putting on eyeliner and then slicing their wrists - and a round of shots to being emo.
Now, breathe and smile. Your Monday is practically over.
