Okay, this movie looks utterly, mind-meltingly terrible. HOWEVER. There is one thing that I need to point out.

Because, first, you need to watch this. Preferably not while at work.

(This was an inside joke between Chrissy and I through most of our time in Aberdeen, and we used "ohhhh chiwawa" to refer to any of her many suitors and/or the drama created by their existence.)

Great. Okay. Now skip to 0:40 on the trailer for this godawful movie:

....and try to reconcile it with the dancing penises.

Good choice of song, guys.

Yeeaahhhhh. Bahahahahahaha.


In other news, I saw the preview above while at the movies on a date. Needless to say, I texted Chrissy about it rather than explaining the penis festival correlation to my date and just tried not to laugh... because holy awkward, Batman.

Relatedly, there is a certain degree of cuddling where it's actually awkward for someone NOT to kiss you. I went back to said date's apartment and we watched a comedy DVD and it was like a makeout session between two people with no mouths. Like, buddy, if your hand was even THINKING about going up my shirt? And it kinda did? You should probably at the very least give me a goodnight kiss. WTF.

Wow. That is an awkward date.

Unrelatedly, for some reason I was under the impression that you were a lesbian. Not sure why. Hurray for LiveJournal. I thought one of my male LJ friends was a woman for quite some time.

I'm bi (although god I hate that word because of some of the assumptions people make), so you weren't too far off, heh.

OMGSRSLY - I wish I could tell people I "don't believe in labels" except that I DO believe in labels, I LOVE labels. It's just a shitty one and there isn't one that's better.

[numberoneblind.livejournal.com]

It's not a shitty label in and of itself, it's just picked up connotations that make it one -- ohhhh, if you're bi and female you're easy/want multiple partners/just want the attention, and if you're bi and male you're gay but in denial. Urgh. And there isn't really any other label that has the same (actual, not cultural) meaning with which to start anew.

I just say im open minded and do not constrain my emotions for a person based on popular societal restrictions.

Im not sure that gets any better a response tho.

[numberoneblind.livejournal.com]

Yeah. The best description I've come up with is "I'm attracted to people for who they are, gender doesn't really play into it", but it'd be nice to have a short answer that didn't suck.

How about "mind your own damn business"

and yes, the penis festival video did entertain me through the day.

[numberoneblind.livejournal.com]

yeah, after we found that video, we looked for more in disbelief/amusement, but with the song and video-editing and everything, nothing lived up to that one. and the damn song gets stuck in your head like CRAZY, but at least it's amusing.

Hah, ive seen videos of the penis festival before, but never with the comical soundtrack. Thanks, for im sure it will be stuck in my head the rest of this dreary Monday.
