this is rather a long story, but it's got refererences to visuals, dialouge, cases of mistaken identity and just general stupidity, and a really annoying commentary (in the dialouge) that i couldn't force myself to leave out...and now it's got a rather embarrassingly long and wordy intro...
on aim i've got the boxing edge pic (rather pathetically) shrunk to fit the buddy icon...i've had to explain who and what he's doing to everyone who sees it, and everyone else has their own theory--is he brushing his teeth? is he removing false teeth? is he picking his nose? is he punching himself in the face? i don't see his hands at all! it looks like he's just staring at me! etc...
that being said, fastforward to about a month later:
after a long im discussion, with someone i've known for about 6 years, about how much i enjoyed "gangs of new york" and trying to convince this huge leonardo dicaprio fan to go see it (she won't cos it's too bloody, but she'd seen "catch me if you can" three times already), i started on about how cool "the hands that built america" sounded at the end...
my friend: that sounds like it would be in that movie [note: i guess she meant the title sounds like it would fit the movie well]
me: it was really good you should see it [sometimes i turn into a walking advertisement without meaning to]
my friend: who sings it?
me: u2
her: what's that? [commentary: WHAT's that?? no, i don't even get a WHO's that? WHAT's that?? arg...anyway, on with the story]
me: u2 is a band. they're from ireland. they've been around for a really long time--their first album came out in 1980. you know the guy who i have in my buddy icon? he's the guitarist in the band. his name is the edge. bono's the singer, i'm sure you've heard of him. i'm sure you've heard "beautiful day". i'm sure you've heard "elevation". i'm sure you've heard a ton of their other songs...you watch mtv, i don't, and I'VE seen these videos [yes, i really DO write that much in a single im thingie]
her: oh i thought THE EDGE was the band...u2's the band? what's a bono?
[lots of convincing and general frustration on my part, followed by a barage of links to sites of all shapes, sizes and content, pertaining to u2 and their music]
her: oh so u2 is tha band and the edge and the bono are in that band?
me: (ignores 'the' bono) yes.
