Is "Closer" by NIN the sexiest song ever...
or what?

Got "Downward Spiral" blasting on the stereo and I'm wondering what the hell I'm doing home alone posting on DU and editing cheesy gay cowboy porn instead of getting nailed up again a wall. Life sucks. :)

I hope the music is annoying my neighbors. :evilgrin:

29. I love his columns but I've never seen that one.
Do you have a link to it? If not, pm me and tell me what his definition is. I absolutely love his definition of 'santorum' and I've passed it on to several folks as well as trying to work it into conversatons when possible. :D

5. Well yes. It's oddly romantic, also.
Maybe I just try to *make* it romantic, LOL. :silly:

That, and "All Messed Up in You" or whatever it's called, on Pretty Hate Machine....with the ever classic phrase "While the devil wants to fuck me in the back of his car."

That Trent, what a charmer. :silly:

I edit gay porn as a side job...
for extra spending money. You'd be surprised how quickly it stops being the least bit erotic when you're reading it for grammar and spelling and making sure the positions are actually humanly possible. :)

19. My best friend owns a publishing company...
that does gay erotica. She's written for years and I've always been her comma wrangler. When she started the press it was a natural to ask if I wanted to edit a couple of novels a month.

21. Well - if it makes you feel better, you really passed on TWO.
Cus you made me think of how sexy Prince's "When Doves Cry" starts...

Dig if u will the picture
Of u and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can u my darling
Can u picture this?

Dream if u can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and u

Nice work!! :toast:

12. I love that song but I like pretty much anything by NIN.
If I have on Downward and want to annoy my neighbors, I prefer to open my windows, place my speakers in them and then crank up March of the Pigs at 5 am.
Much more fun that way.

48. I have songs that are much louder
but I prefer to play something that they might have heard of once. My next door neighbor informed me that her church had a list of people who had sold their souls to the devil. He's supposedly one of them.
So I tend to play him. Once in a while, when her dog has once again crapped in my yard I pick someone who she really hates. Fundies don't know who Sepultura is. They only know that anyone who votes Dem or is against * is an agent of the Devil.

so I can go purely for volume. :evilgrin:

One of these days they're gonna play the thumpa music early in the morning one time to many and they're gonna get "Balls to the Wall" cranked up right next to their bedroom window.

51. You are so lucky!
I tend to go for name of the artist and lyrics in general.
I played NIN full blast about a week ago. When I saw her outside later on that same day she asked me who I was listening to. I informed her who it was. The next day she informed me that Reznor was a treasonist, according to her "preacher" and that he was a Satanist who lured young women into preforming depraved acts (you would have loved all of the details-I had to bite my lip from laughing so hard!). Since then I have purposely played it for her full blast very early in the morning 2x in the same week(dog sh*t thing).
Of course, according to her, nearly all rock musicians are from the devil. Someday I will request the full list.

how these repressed fundy types just love to go into the gory, pornographic details of the sin they're avoiding. *snort*

And I suppose he does lure young women into performing depraved acts...I'm living proof. ;)

53. I want to be living proof!
Actually, she is a sweet old lady who converted after the death of her husband. I really believe that they targeted her, knowing that she was all alone (she and her husband were not able to have children-she gave me the 4-1-1). She said that they started coming over shortly after he died. She has even told me that there are a few things that they talk about that she's not sure if she agrees with but is afraid that they might get mad if she disagrees.
Poor thing. It's really a form of emotional abuse. I occasionally stop by her house w/ some cookies or brownies and have coffee w/ her so that she can talk to someone outside of her church.

She's just lonely. It could have happened to anyone.
She's coming over on Sat. to my house for my daughter's birthday party. She is really excited and keeps asking what to get her. Of course, her birthday party theme of Shrek is probably some sort of devil worship that she will have to work herself up over but she says that she's still coming over.

Her church says that people like me are devil spawn but she said that she's not sure (since I go to a Methodist church every Sunday and volunteer on a few committees). I giggle about it every single time.

Surround sound SACD is so cool!

The sexiest? Well at it's time of release it was the most popular song to strip to at titty bars.

Edited on Mon Jun-13-05 11:12 PM by VelmaD
and because I like boy-on-boy. ;) Girl-on-girl too for that matter. Though like I said, it loses something when you aren't reading it purely for fun.

Plus there's just something perverse and amusing about telling people I edit gay porn. :)

Oh, and you are alwasy welcome in Austin. We have the best DU gatherings here.
