I might actually have to stop objectifying PBW and actually, like, treat him like a human being or something. Weird. I'm not sure I know how to do that.

They were called Major Stars, which one of my friends actually thought was a "secret attraction!" description rather than a band name, like the item in the Terrastock lineup which read "Break (not a band called Break)".

"No" came the answer "I told them on the phone what kind of music we play."
So, there was no support band called "Scar"

No, you stumbled onto a conversation involving bad jokes. Which happened to be told at ATP. I don't see why it's so different from any other random bollocks talked on this thread.

This is not a situation I find myself in very often. I kinda have this dichotomy - that there are hott boys to be admired and lusted after (usually from afar) but never actually interacted with particularly seriously. And then there are my friends, with whom I can have the interesting conversations and the mental alignment and actual share thoughts and maybe even emotions.
And I'm feeling a bit weird about these boundaries being crossed. Because that way badness lies.
...and suddenly, completely by accident, in trying to get into a semi-flirting, pigtail pulling mock argument, I'm finding someone actually challenging my ideas and expanding my intellectual horizons and talking about things I find really interesting in a way that... well, that I've been trying to get from, but *not* got from, for example, my bandmate/supposed collaboraters in years.
And a bit of me is saying "you're not supposed to *do* that, you're just a bit of trouser to be objectified". And the other half is saying "run away, run away!" When what I really want to be doing is saying "hey! come back here! Did you really just say what I think you said? Do you believe that? Justify/explain yourself and we'll debate whether you're right or wrong - or if right and wrong are concepts that even belong in this argument!"
Argh. Why am I such a stupid mess?

(I was pointing out that some of Kate's friends clearly fall between the two categories, though it also occurs to me that that's because they aren't being objectified when they become friends, but presumably the transition was made at some point)

I'm fine with men if they're Out Of Bounds for whatever reason - usually through being in a relationship with someone else, through being totally unsuitable for reasons of age or other. Or when I'm just not attracted to them.
It's when it's that strange quasi-land of "available, just not available to me" that it becomes painful.
When you're totally objectifying a bloke to the point where they are just floppy hair and pointy nose, that's keeping them at an emotional distance. No big deal if it doesn't happen and you don't get to touch them, because you don't want anything more than to look. It's when that velvet curtain gets pulled back, and you see a glimpse, not of well-turned heel, but of... brain, soul, heart, essence - and you suddenly think "hang on, actually I want to touch *that*!"
Then it's just too painful.

There's actually an interesting thread to be started about how you can become a little more self-confident without turning into a big-headed prick,
i would like one of these too right now, but i think there are a few on old-ilx. that one gr*h*m started about shyness that goes on and on and on for about a million years and actually seems to have lots of sound advice on?

Aaaah, good times. We should do that again. Except I'm not talking to Jim or Jim isn't talking to me, I can't remember which way around it is every time I think I remember it changes if I talk to him, he snubs me, or if he talks to me, I think he's not talking to me so I snub him. It's all too confusing.

I feel very fuzzy this morning. Ed and Emsk got me drunk and tried to demonstrate this "comedy" thing that they have here in the icen forests of Clerkenwell.
I liked Bill Bailey's fake prog song, that was hilarious. And I think I might have to fall into the Mighty Boosh Crush Fold. Apocalyptic grannies and fake Funkadelic wandering the desert in "it's not a dress, they're the robes of a psychedelic monk!" gear. I like.
Now I am going to have some coffee. Or some lemsip. Or maybe both. I'm not sure in which order.
