<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>a little while back, i was pretty anti-chick musicians. not for any particular reason other than i hadn&#8217;t found any that really struck me. so, i suppose it wasn&#8217;t so much an adamant stance as much as it was a passive penchant towards men who made music.</p>
<p>as i am about to post something about one of my favorite albums of this year, i realize that i&#8217;m listening to lots and lots of broads as of late.</p>
<p>and thus, ladies and gentlemen, i introduce you to Ms. Emily Haines, front woman of the fabulous band Metric, and her solo project: Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton. (i prefer Metric to the latter, but that&#8217;s neither here nor there).</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="Emily Haines" src="http://www.rollogrady.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/metricsized.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="496" />this woman rules in so many ways.</p>
<p>as an added bonus, <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=105478436">here is the NPR recording of the show</a> i went to in june at the <a href="http://www.930.com/">930 Club in Washington, DC</a>.</p>

<p>Emily Haines is the high energy lead singer of the band Metric. Before Metrics new album Fantasies was released (which in my opinion is one of the best new albums this year) the band took a little break. Emily Haines continued to do the music thing and released Knives Don&#8217;t Have Your Back.</p>
<p>This is a video of one of her solo performances it is kind of a cover of Anarchy In The Uk by The Sex Pistols -but not really, either way i love it.</p>

<p style="text-align:left;">Ok &#8211; it&#8217;s Monday. Who REALLY likes Mondays? Not many of us I presume. This Monday is going to be different. Why? Because this post is going to be all about Tiesto! (Sorry in advance to those of you who are not fans). In anticipation for Tiesto&#8217;s slew of performances this coming week at LA&#8217;s Shrine Auditorium, I wanted to get everyone pumped up for the show &#8211; yes that includes MYSELF! I could literally sit here and name all of Tiesto&#8217;s top songs, my favorites, or best collaborations, but there&#8217;s not time for that. Since he just released new album Kaleidoscope in October 2009, I will be listing my favorite tracks off this new cd. Just as David Guetta&#8217;s new album featured numerous collaborations, Kaleidoscope spans a wide range of guest vocalists. This post won&#8217;t have any song descriptions, but a small blurb of lyrics (since I am a sucker for those). Ok, less talking and more music. Here we go.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Knock You Out feat. Emily Haines </strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Somebody to rough you up/Somebody to make it tough/Somebody to bait you/Somebody to love</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Here on Earth feat. Carey Brothers</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>And the closer that you get, with the force of all the weight/And it&#8217;s also clear, do you want to feel her</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Escape Me feat. CC Sheffield</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Pierce my lips/Don&#8217;t shred me down to strips/You&#8217;re way too good at it/You&#8217;re way too good at it/Escape me</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>I will be Here feat. Sneaky Sound System</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>When the big road falls apart/And you think that the feeling will linger/You need somewhere to start<br />
I will be here</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>I am Strong feat. Priscilla Ahn</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Look at me, here I am (I am strong)/Reaching for your arms again/Saw the hurt and all the pain (I am strong now)/And get back on my feet again/(I am strong now)</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Who wants to Be Alone feat. Nelly Furtado</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>But with that moon in the sky/Who wants to be alone/And when the stars shine so bright/Who wants to be alone/Don&#8217;t take me home/Til the sun comes up till the sun comes up</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Feel it in my Bones feat. Tegan and Sara</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>I feel you in my bones/You&#8217;re knocking at my windows/You&#8217;re slow to letting me go/And I know this feeling also/This feeling in my bones</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;">All song previews are listed here: <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kaleidoscope-Ti%C3%ABsto/dp/B002M2Z3KG">Tiesto Kaleidoscope Track Listing and Preview Link</a></em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1320" src="http://rkahn.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/metric-fantasies.jpg?w=270" alt="" width="270" height="270" />I&#8217;m really enjoying it!</p>
<p>For an album about relationships and inner monologue and only a few (okay fine several) completely fantastic scenarios, this sounds like it was recorded in space. Space, the way space looked in a B movie inspired by <em>2001 </em>but made  by fans of Sun Ra.  Really! Just think about it for a minute, I know you&#8217;ll agree.</p>
<p>The layered synthetic sounds in this album put a cold glittering sheen on what is otherwise almost flawless pop song writing. The structures are simple: verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus repeats and then fades, over and over again. The lyrics are often minimal, a spare approach mirrored in Haines&#8217; vocal technique, where her volume ranges from &#8220;quiet&#8221; to &#8220;not quite as quiet&#8221; with only a few notable exceptions.</p>
<p>Haines&#8217; vocals add a stoic layer to songs otherwise made epic and grandiose with all the tricks written for dance music since disco. Looping riffs, vertical key changes, double-time thrumming basslines, it all combines into songs that are viciously catchy and itchably danceable. I can confirm this because I listened to this album quite a bit in the car, and was accused of tapping the pedals in time to the music, thus making my passenger somewhat carsick. The price of good songwriting, I say.</p>
<p>However, as you find yourself singing along to the lyrics, you start to notice how subtle, dark and witty Haines gets. There&#8217;s a mix of self deprecation and immensely sarcastic self-empowerment floating through her music, perfect for the world-weary twenty-something gir- I mean, woman, who likes looking good and telling people off and being lonely about it afterwards.</p>
<p>So, where and when would I put on this album? Well, any of the upbeat songs are great additions to your favourite dance mix. I can see &#8220;Sick Muse&#8221;  helping amp up the ante while you predrink, and &#8220;Satellite Mind&#8221;, with its NES bassline, might take a few bars to get heavy but you wouldn&#8217;t be able to resist it if it came on while you were sulking at the edge of the dancefloor. &#8220;Stadium Love&#8221; is the song for when you&#8217;re too tired to be dancing but too high on endorphins to stop just yet. I&#8217;d save &#8220;Twilight Galaxy&#8221; for the quiet car ride home after a passionately futile night out with your distant lover, though. It&#8217;s the beautiful mood killer of the evening/album.</p>
<p>In summary, let me recommend this album to anyone who wants to pretend they are partying in the future and it is even lonelier than the 80s in space, and catchier.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Com dificuldade conseguimos encontrar informações sobre a banda Metric. Consideravelmente famosa nos Estados Unidos e no Canadá, a banda, liderada por Emily Haines, e tema do programa, é quase desconhecida no Brasil. Portanto, decidimos postar um texto de Isabel Arruda que encontramos no site da Cidade Web Rock, que é recheado de informações sobre a banda.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Uma banda como a Metric, que tem sua vocalista nascida em Nova Delhi, na Índia, criada em Ontário, no Canadá, e que ainda desfruta de uma cidadania americana, só poderia, de fato, gerar confusão quanto ao seu lugar de origem. O grupo formou-se em Nova Iorque, nos Estados Unidos, no início da carreira teve uma importante passagem por Londres, na Inglaterra, mas firmou-se na mesma província em que Emily Haines cresceu, fazendo muitos fãs pensarem que se trata de uma banda canadense. <img class="alignright" title="Emily Haines" src="http://www.mynorthwest.com/emedia/seattle/2/257/25772.jpg" alt="Vocalista da banda Metric" width="279" height="320" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Emily &#8211; que deixou a Índia aos três anos de idade – sempre foi muito influenciada pelo gosto musical do pai, o poeta Paul Haines. Paul sempre teve o costume de gravar para a filha fitas cassetes com raras versões de música eletrônica, com nomes como Carla Bley e Robert Wyatt. Na adolescência, seguindo os passos de seus pais, Emily entrou para Escola de Artes de Etobicoke, em Ontário. Lá, conheceu os estudantes Amy Millan e Kevin Drew, que mais tarde formaram a banda de rock alternativo hHead, na qual Emily chegou a colaborar. Mas antes disso, ainda na escola, Haines e Amy Millan fundaram sua primeira banda, no começo dos anos 90, porém, começaram a gravar as primeiras canções somente quando já faziam parte da Universidade British Columbia, em Vancouver, também no Canadá. Em 1996, os amigos chegaram a distribuir o EP “Cut in Half and Also Double”, com um número bem reduzido de cópias.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Enquanto Emily trilhava seus passos pelo Canadá, James Shaw, estudante da escola de música de Boston, nos Estados Unidos, formou uma banda com seus amigos de turma, Torquil Campbell e Chris Seligman, que o convenceram a mudar com eles para Nova Iorque e ingressar na famosa escola de música Juilliard. <img class="alignleft" title="James Shaw" src="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Music/Pix/pictures/2009/6/30/1246372240368/James-Shaw-and-Emily-Hain-001.jpg" alt="" width="460" height="276" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Após três anos estudando na instituição, Shaw havia adquirido um considerável conhecimento clássico, mas não estava gostando da rotina tradicional do ensino, então, em 1998, retornou para Toronto. Foi nesta época que, através de amigos em comum na cena musical local, Haines e Shaw se conheceram. Em pouco tempo, James mudou-se para a cidade de Montreal, para morar com Emily, e juntos começaram a misturar seus projetos pessoais, resultando numa perfeita sintonia entre os dois, que deu origem a músicas como “Butcher”, “The People”, “The Battlecry”, “The Mandate” e “The Lifestyle”, que comporam o EP “Mainstream”.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">No final de 1998, James Shaw voltou a morar em Nova Iorque, desta vez acompanhado de Emily e, novamente, do amigo Chris Seligman. Na cidade, eles alugaram um loft que nos próximos dois anos teria como inquilino alguns dos futuros integrantes das bandas americanas Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Liars e TV on the Radio. Em 1999, Shaw e Haines encontraram o nome ideal para sua parceria: decidiram chamar o grupo de Metric, em homenagem a sincronização perfeita de seu dueto musical. Metric, além de ser uma unidade de medida, também pode ser usado como uma medida precisa, uma métrica como a dos poemas, ou seja, os dois “encaixavam” perfeitamente, em termos musicais. No mesmo ano, a Warner Bros. Records demonstrou interesse pelo grupo, que rapidamente fechou um acordo com a gravadora.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nesse meio tempo, um produtor de Londres teve acesso as demos gravadas pela banda e viu que o grupo tinha um grande potencial para o sucesso. Apostando nisso, convidou o Metric para ir ao Reino Unido, afim de fechar um possível acordo de gravação. Emily e James acabaram indo para a Inglaterra no começo de 2000 e firmaram um contrato com a Chrysalis UK. Com a ajuda do produtor Stephen Hague, que já havia trabalhado com importantes grupos dos anos 80 como New Order, Erasure e Pet Shop Boys, o Metric trabalhou em um novo material que faria parte de seu álbum de estreia. Essas novas músicas formaram a base do estilo eclético, que fez com que o grupo, desde cedo, estivesse musicalmente à frente de seu tempo. Mas logo a dupla se cansou de ficar apenas gravando demos e decidiu retornar a Nova Iorque para colocar, de uma vez por todas, a banda em prática. Em novembro, estavam de volta ao loft do Brooklyn.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Metric" src="http://rockstar.unionevents.com/mailouts/2008/06/03/images/metric.jpg" alt="" width="311" height="243" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nos primeiros meses de 2001, o Metric continuou a trabalhar no material para o primeiro álbum. Em abril, o disco estava terminado e Haines e Shaw optaram por fechar novo contrato com uma gravadora independente, a Restless Records de Los Angeles, para aparentemente lançá-lo. Mas por algum motivo, acharam que não era a hora de colocá-lo no mercado e “Grow Up and Blow Away” permaneceu guardado na gaveta até conhecer a luz do dia, somente em julho de 2007, apenas com algumas poucas alterações no seu line-up. Este CD foi bem elogiado. Na opinião de alguns, levou o Metric de volta ao nível de “Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?”, o disco debut, considerado por muitos como o melhor da banda.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O CD de estreia &#8211; de fato &#8211; do grupo, que agora contava com Emily Haines nos vocais, James Shaw na guitarra, Josh Winstead no baixo e Joules Scott-Key na bateria, veio somente em 2003. “Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?”, recebeu disco de ouro, no Canadá, pelas 40 mil cópias vendidas. Grande parte dessas vendas ocorreu devido ao contagiante single “Dead Disco”, que tocou pelas pistas de dança de todo o mundo.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Metric" src="http://www.elle.com/var/ezflow_site/storage/images/elle/entertainment/music/we-re-with-the-band-metric/3416055-3-eng-US/We-re-With-the-Band-Metric_articleimage.jpg" alt="" width="325" height="385" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ao primeiro álbum do Metric, seguiram-se “Live It Out” (2005), segundo trabalho lançado da banda, e o início da carreira solo de Emily Haines. Este novo CD recebeu o título de melhor álbum, em 2006, pela Polaris Music Prize, premiação mais importante da música canadense e foi indicado ao Juno Awards na categoria de Melhor Álbum Alternativo, no mesmo ano.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O ano de 2006, definitivamente, foi o ano do Metric: a consagração definitiva veio quando o grupo foi escolhido a dedo pelos Rolling Stones para abrir a histórica turnê “A Bigger Bang Tour”, no Madison Square, em Nova Iorque. Mas a boa fase não parou por ai: a banda estourou de vez, fora do Canadá, quando duas de suas músicas, “Monster Hospital” e “Police and the Private” entraram para a trilha sonora de dois famosos seriados americanos: Grey´s Anatomy e C.S.I. Miami. A banda passou a fazer parte da cena mais importante da música alternativa dos últimos cinco anos, o novo indie rock canadense. Com avalanches de guitarras angulares, elementos eletrônicos e momentos de explosão ao lado de outros delicados, o quarteto passou a ser dono de um som consistente e atual.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Em junho do ano passado, a banda veio pela primeira (e até agora única) vez ao Brasil para participar da sexta edição do Motomix – The ROKR Festival, logo após se apresentar no festival californiano Coachella. O Metric fez um show gratuito no dia 28, no Parque do Ibirapuera, em São Paulo, ao lado do sexteto britânico The Go! Team e do trio, também britânico, Fujiya &#38; Miyagi, além de também ter dividido o palco com as bandas nacionais Stop Play Moon, Venus Volts e Nancy. Apesar desta vinda às terras tupiniquins, o grupo continua meio desconhecido por aqui. Mas, a julgar pela agenda de shows deles, parece que é só por aqui&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O quarto e último álbum de estúdio, “Fantasies”, saiu em abril deste ano, depois de quase três anos sem lançamentos. O disco é uma coleção de dez canções que vai do punk ao new wave e que, em certos momentos, chega a lembrar a sonoridade de grupos como Blondie, Garbage e Laydtrop. Os destaques do trabalho ficaram com “Front Row”, “Gimmie Sympathy”, que teve seu clipe gravado em apenas um take, e o primeiro single liberado, “Help, I´m Alive” – com seus elementos eletrônicos, batida frenética e refrão que gruda &#8211; que já conta com mais de 20 remixes diferentes feitos por diversos Djs. As demais músicas do álbum se parecem um tanto umas com as outras, seja pelo ritmo frenético, seja pelo uso de sintetizadores. A exceção fica para lenta e melancólica “Blindness”. <img class="alignleft" title="Metric" src="http://bedwettingcosmonaut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Metric-298x450.jpg" alt="" width="298" height="450" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Se o Metric irá se consagrar aqui no Brasil, como o fez no Canadá e nos Estados Unidos, ninguém sabe, mas é certo que nada é impossível para a efervescente vocalista. A front-woman Emily Haines é um capítulo à parte na composição do quarteto, além de já ter sido eleita por diversos veículos como uma das mulheres mais bonitas do rock (a última votação ocorreu em maio deste ano, pelo site Gigwise, que colocou Haines à frente de beldades como Hayley Williams, do Paramore, Katie White, do The Ting Tings e Juliette Lewis, na lista das “25 Mulheres Mais Sexys do Rock”), Emily está envolvida em mais dois projetos paralelos, além do Metric: o grupo Broken Social Scene, que reúne cerca de 19 músicos de Toronto, e a banda Emily Haines &#38; The Soft Skeleton. Isto sem falar das participações como convidada nos álbuns de Stars KC Accidental, Delerium, The Stills e Jason Collett. E quem pensa que Emily se aventura apenas no meio musical, está enganado. Em 2004, a moça atuou, junto com seus companheiros de banda, no filme “Clean”, do diretor Oliver Assavas, que ganhou importante título no Festival de Cannes.</p>

Em <em>Julian Plenti is&#8230; skyscraper</em>, Paul voa sozinho, mas voa baixo &#8211; é impossível separar a sonoridade de cantor da sua banda de origem. Praticamente todos os elementos estão lá, inclusive a participação de Sam Fogarino, baterista do Interpol, que dá as caras em <em>Games for days</em>, o primeiro single do álbum (o clipe da faixa também conta com a fofa Emily Haines, do Metric, em um bico como atriz).<br />

- Warren Zevon</p>
<p>It is Social Justice Awareness Week again at KUST – the twice yearly opportunity for us to explore an issue of importance to our community, nation or world in the context of music.  <strong>Great River Radio</strong> has decided to tackle the very current and very hot problem of health care reform – the topic that we hear about every day, from the extremist pundits and the self interests and the sincere reformers.  It is a very personal issue – if we haven’t found ourselves sick and broken and in need of healing yet, our loved ones have, and it is inevitable that we will all interact with America’s huge and complex health care system at some point in our lives.</p>
<p>We want to take this opportunity to bring to<strong> GRR</strong> listeners some songs that came to mind (including many requests from our listeners) as we ponder the health care debate that is underway in this country this very day.  We will supplement the music this afternoon with some readings and thoughts on the situation – one which is too often obscured by rhetorical excess, misinformation and outright lies.  If you have (like we have) tried to sort out the accurate information from the politics, you may have just thrown up your hands in frustration.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, we can’t explain the intricacies of the bill which just passed the House, or what the Senate will do to it next.  We can’t tell you how the doctor and hospital you go to price their services.  We can’t explain what constitutes a “pre-existing condition” and why it isn&#8217;t covered by your insurance.  But we can entertain you for two hours with music about health, healing, hospitals, illness and, finally, mercy.  Tune in to <strong>Great River Radio</strong> this afternoon as we tackle health care reform in our own tiny way, and catch music by Panda Bear, Fountains of Wayne, Loudon Wainwright, Tom Waits, Annie Lennox, Conor Oberst, Ben Kweller, Ted Hawkins, The Band, Mary Gauthier, The Replacements and others – songs selected by Brian, Dan and YOU.</p>
<p>Next week we’ll return to regular programming at <strong>Great River Radio</strong>, bringing you a mix of the music we’ve been listening to lately.  Our regular feature, Confluence, will concern our best friends: dogs.  Let us know your favorite dog songs and maybe Brian and I will bring Sonny and Finn into the studio!</p>

<p>I&#8217;m a big fan of the group Metric, a really cool Canadian indie rock group. Last night, my wife scored some last-minute tickets to go to a secret show in San Francisco where they played some of my favorite songs from their latest albums. The lead singer Emily Haines is really cute, and put on a very electrifying and energetic performance.Unfortunately, while I had my Lumix LX3 with me, I had left my memory card in the car, and I only figured it out when I started taking pictures as the show started! Fortunately, the LX3 has a small amount of built in memory that let me take about 10 pictures, but it meant I had to keep deleting photos during the performance as I continued shooting! The lighting was pretty dim on the stage (they played at the famous Bimbo&#8217;s in North Beach), making sharp shots difficult, even at the camera&#8217;s maximum f/2.0 aperture.</p>
<p>I kinda like the shot above, despite the awkward crop. I think it really gives a sense of the energy that was on stage during the performance.</p>
<div id="attachment_608" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 730px"><img class="size-full wp-image-608" title="Metric Blur" src="http://jonathanfleming.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/p1040209.jpg" alt="Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3" width="720" height="405" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3</p></div>
<p>Here&#8217;s a blurry, grainy image that I really love for some reason. I think it&#8217;s the lighting and the sense of movement in her hair. I would have loved to be in the front row, but I got to the venue a little later than I wanted to. Oh well!</p>
<div id="attachment_609" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 730px"><img class="size-full wp-image-609" title="Metric 3" src="http://jonathanfleming.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/p1040215.jpg" alt="Metric 3" width="720" height="405" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3</p></div>
<p>Being behind other people meant having to lift the camera into the air to get a straight shot of the stage&#8230;.not the most steady way to hold  a camera! After shooting for about 10 minutes, I decided I didn&#8217;t want to keep deleting photos to make room for more. I grabbed a drink, and enjoyed the rest of the performance without the camera.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Saw Metric last night.  I wanted her sparkly mini-dress and energy jumping around on stage.  Her voice isn&#8217;t knock your socks off in a diva way, but it does strike you with it&#8217;s clarity and texture.  It&#8217;s crepey and haunting.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I was listening to this song that has been on my iPod for a while now. It&#8217;s &#8220;The Lottery&#8221; by Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton. It goes like this:</p>
<p>[embed]http://spin.com/audio/download/24115/eh_thelottery_hi.mp3[/embed]</p>
<p><em>I only wanted what everyone wanted<br />
since bras started burning up ribs in the 60&#8217;s.<br />
Favors are flying, faces are falling,<br />
all I desire is to never be waiting.<br />
If that’s a crime let’s commit it.<br />
There’s a new crime, sexual suicide.<br />
When our underwire radio tears into their international airwaves<br />
Boredom will Die! Ears will Bleed!<br />
All they desire is to give and to please.<br />
There’s a new crime, sexual suicide.<br />
There’s a new crime, let’s commit it<br />
while we’re waiting on the next day, to begin it in the best way.<br />
There’s a new crime, sexual suicide.<br />
There’s a new crime, let’s commit it.<br />
Don’t worry, Heather, about forever.<br />
Don’t worry about me.</em></p>
<p><em>It’s a lottery baby, everybody roll the dice<br />
It’s a lottery baby, everybody roll the dice</em></p>
<p><em>Will we always be like little kids<br />
running group to group asking who loves me?<br />
Don’t know who loves me!<br />
It’s pathetic. It’s impossible.<br />
Like girls in stilettos,<br />
like girls in stilettos,<br />
like girls in stilettos trying to run.</em></p>
<p>This really resonated with me. I know that part of me wants the proverbial romance of my life, but another part of me is adamant of another person never being able to have me.</p>
<p>Sounds kind of sexually suicidal to me.</p>
<p>I mean, if you consciously think that &#8220;No one can have me&#8221;, aren&#8217;t you propagating an attitude that keeps you from getting laid?</p>
<p>And even if you do get laid, wouldn&#8217;t you go around still feeling unfulfilled, because you are worth nothing more than a hookup?</p>
<p>I know the logical structure of all that makes no sense. One thing does not automatically imply the other. But given the assumption &#8220;No one can have me&#8221; as sort of an emotional and individualistic assertion, you seem to limit yourself to either never getting laid and thus keeping yourself emotionally locked away or sleeping around a lot AND keeping yourself emotionally locked away except it bugs you because you want to be loved. I&#8217;m really leaning towards the latter.</p>
<p>So I met someone. Very very recently. It&#8217;s moving a bit too fast. I am kind of hiding away from him as we speak. I am gonna see how this whole thing turns out before I talk about it. Basic details: He is a younger guy. Very outgoing. I initiated it because&#8230;I don&#8217;t really know why. I feel like we get along awesomely, but both of us seem&#8230;emotionally unavailable to each other (granted it&#8217;s soooooooo early&#8230;I can&#8217;t even tell you how early this is. Quite embarrassing).  He is more sexually experienced than me (i.e. not a virgin). What makes us get along so interestingly is the same sense of humour and a hint of unresolved sexual tension. The end. I really don&#8217;t want to think about it right now. It makes me feel vulnerable and uncomfortable and a lot of other things that I am not so sure about. But it&#8217;s early. I&#8217;m gonna suck it up and endure through what I can. Then maybe I&#8217;ll spare more details.</p>
<p>I will leave you today with something that really resonates with me emotionally&#8230;something that showed me I am driven by more than my hormones.</p>
