(YOU in the figurative sense). > > what do the rest of you hip chicks think? im not a chick.. nor am i hip, but... i think i sometimes act shocked when a girl asks about certain kinds of music -- not because i do not think that should or because i think they are not able to understand -- but because around here its RARE. i think its neat, and im super supportive of such things, but again, it is just rare. in fact, maybe im not as bad as i think.. i act shocked whenever i find someone into this music -- because around here.. and everywhere im finding.. its RARE. on the flip side.. dont discredit someone (boy or girl or whatever) just because they dont like the same stuff you do :) i only say this because sometimes im guilty. "what? what do you mean you didnt *enjoy* the masonna performance?!" yadda yadda chris (whos still hoping to meet that catholic school girl obsessed with nurse with wound :)
