Where I Get Cooler & Then Not So Much Again

8 year old Katie: I helped Nicholas pick out his haircut!

Her 15 year old brother, Nicholas: Yeah.

Katie: The other one was gay.

Me: It was gay?

Nicholas: Yeah

Katie: Dad picked it out.

Nicholas: It was kind of emo.

Me: Emo?

Nicholas: Yeah.

Katie: Yeah, it was emo.

Nicholas: This is more "Scene"

Me: Scene?

Nicholas: Yeah.

Me: Oh. Um, I'm going to a punk concert in D.C. next month.

Nicholas: Yeah? Who?

Me: Anti-Flag

Nicholas: OHMYGOD I've seen them live, who are they with?

Me: Oh, uh.. I dunno. I really just barely know who Anti-Flag is.

Nicholas: OHMYGOD they were so good live, and especially if they're with and and I have all their CDs, that's so cool!

Me: Yeah. Uh, can you burn me one?

Then the stress ball I was playing around with exploded, pink rain fell all over my monitor, keyboard, and myself, and Nicholas almost peed his pants laughing.

************************

So, I'm going to an Anti-Flag concert in Washington D.C. on January 20th. I'll be near history in the making.

If I die there, y'all take care of Murphy, will ya?

What is "Scene"??? I know what emo is, but what is SCENE? And how is there a different haircut? It all goes in their eyes, so how do you know the difference between a "scene" haircut, and an "emo" haircut???

~You made a 15-year-old jealous. How fun is that? None of my other friends can say that.

~The A-F flyer says the show promotes "Applauding the empowerment of people through art/ photo/ music". Which is what you can tell your *other* friends if you don't want to sound like a 15-year-old boy.

~United Nations, The A.K.A's and Ruiner are the opening acts. That should *also* make your friend jealous.

~I don't know what the difference in haircut means. I thought it was all about eyeliner and nail polish? I guess I'm not BEAST enough to know.
