Thursday Music

My dear friends Andrea and Justin will be leaving the Seattle area and I have mixed opinions on it. Sure I'll miss their company, Andrea's moaning on various things that piss her off (she's cute when she's angry), and Justin's antics, but then again I won't have to help them move on a yearly basis anymore.

I've known Andrea for quite a few years now, even before she got her infamous....enhancements. We both were hired on as contractors for the company we work for at the same time. So there we sat in a training class and she annoyed the living piss out of me.

After training she would always IM me with irritating sunshine emoticons and such. Andrea also took great pleasure in mocking my stern look at various times. After seeing smiley face after smiley face appear on my messenger I finally just broke down and typed 'bite ass' back to her. She laughed and yelled 'love you too Erik.' From then a friendship ensued surprisingly.

Andrea's always been one to embrace her buttrock past. (Yes I said 'buttrock'. Deal with it Mattbear.) While most are embarrassed about the fact they listened to hair bands she takes pride that she once rocked out to 'musicians' that are probably solely responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer.

There will be one band that will remind me of Andrea though. As she takes her job out of state with her new husband I'll simply listen to one of her favorite bands and recall how big hair, fishnets, and gawdy makeup once ruled the day as well as her fashion sense.

"When we try to write a pop song, we go for standard pop arrangements, even to the point where we will go to the key change at the end, which is really cheesy." - Joe Elliott

LOL! Bite ass Erik! I will miss that stearn look and my personal mover. I am so glad I forced you to be my friend via emoticons.

And AWESOME choice on the video!One of my personal faves. I so wanted to marry Joe Elliott and his UBER-MULLET! No I am not ashamed. "Butt"-Rock on!

BTW we meant to ask, we need someone to drive the truck down and while you are there, you may as well help unload the UHAUL!

I Love you forever my friend and you will definately have to come visit myself, hubby and the enhancements.

That's so sweet. She is a girl after my own heart ... I may not know her ... but we have 80's hair bands, smiley faces and irritating the piss out of people in common. Tell her good luck for me. :-)

Who doesn't love a good hair band?? There was a bar not too far from me that would have a "hairball" night....and apparently those stuck in the 80's rock era would show up, tight jeans, teased hair and all.

Thank you Kelli!

Miss Ash - Dear gawd, even I wouldn't go that far unless it was halloween! Big hair makes me shudder now. But then again, I'm not stuck in the 80's I love all kinds of music and styles. I just still appreciate it.
