Lyrics speak to me!

It's been awhile since I've blogged, and I'm sorry to those of you who check in to see absolutely nuthin'! Thanks for continuing to check in, and PLEASE don't stop!! I've had a lot going on in my personal and professional life and have been quite busy!

I've been listenting to Ben Folds Five tonight, one of my favorite bands ever! Ben Folds is a master at the piano and at the lyrics. I was looking some lyrics up, and I came across the following gem:

"Satan Is My Master"

Satan is my master
He has always been
He tells me what to do
He buys my Metallica records for me
And sometimes I think...

Satan is my master


While we're at it, I would like to announce five new blogs to my blog link list!



Aerin Aerin is a fellow ex-mo mother of twins! I used to believe that twin moms were hand picked by god. Now I just believe twin moms, especially ex-mo twin moms, ought to stick together!

Doug Humphrie's Eight Hour Lunch I had the pure pleasure of meeting Doug in real life last summer at the War on Jello, before I knew he was a blogger. If I had permission from him, I would post a picture of him playing the guitar (hint hint!). I've admired Doug from afar for awhile now, so I'm pleased as punch that he wants to be on my blog list! I hope I get to hear him play on his guitar again soon! HEY DOUG! Shiree got a drumset for her birthday, I sense an ex-mo rock band in the making!

Rip Zip So damn funny, so damn intelligent! A fellow youngest of the family like me, so we can relate in many non-bloggable ways! Also the sister of Belaja (mentioned in previous post) so you know the genetics are in their favor. There are so many aspects of her life that I want.

Thunderchops Crap Floats after posting with him on the DAMU for over a year, I finally had the pure pleasure of meeting him in person in October. He is as genuine and kind as they come, and I love his thoughtful writing style. His wife is equally as great, but she doesn't blog.

Wry Catcher Never have I met a woman that I want to emulate more than her. I've been a fan of hers since I very first met her on the DAMU last summer, and was lucky enough to become really great friends with her, even if it's only cyberly for now. Trust me, you want to read her blog. She has a way of wording things that rivals Dooce. I'm thrilled that she finally has a freakin' blog!

Color me lame, but what the hell is DAMU?

Seriously - inquiring minds...

:)

Christy said...

hehe. Hi Sideon! DAMU (I've used this acronym often!) stands for DisAffected Mormon Underground. Message boards consist of The Foyer, FLAK, and New Order Mormons, have you heard of them?

Then there's Cherry, where the DisAffected Mormon Underground Underground types play (DAMUU).

*waves* hi guys!

Hey Christy - the feelings are all mutual. I hit your blog every day. :-)

Satan is my master, too! Yay! Let's all worship satan together. A made-up bad guy can't be any worse than a made-up good guy, right? I fear satan would reject me though, simply due to my distaste for metallica.

Hey, Ben Folds is a fave of Mr Catcher's, so I get to listen to them a lot. Good stuff.

Here's a hug for the personal and professional stuff, my friend. x

I didn't know about DAMU either until I read the term on Equality's blog.

It's so funny how people joined the Internet exmo community through FLAK and people who came in through exmormon.org have completely different terminology. But here in Outer Blogness we all get mixed together. :D

It's fun to connect and reconnect. BTW, of the bloggers you've listed here and in your previous post, one is my cousin, one is in the same ward as the grandparents I share with said cousin, and another is a former BYU apartment-mate of mine...

Sideon said...

DAMU - gotcha.

I can barely keep up with blogging, let alone message boards :) Let's just say that I haven't been over to the Exmormon.org site in ages. The repeating themes of Joseph Smith, polygamy, masturbation, blah blah blah. It got old. When even I get bored talking about masturbation, you know that it's time to change channels. :)

HUGS :)

Aerin said...

Twin moms are hand picked by someone - that's for sure. Thanks for adding me Christy!

Sumwun said...

Yah, I love all things british so ofcourse I enjoyed Rip ZIp as well as her sister's blog.
Also, I don't believe in Satan unless it's the evil that is within me, which is naturally my master.
I just have to address the this...masturbation is like an unemployment check. Not at all what you had planned, not something you want to keep doing forever though you accept it and appreciate it for what it is.
On that note...no hugs, just a brisk firm handshake.

I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy! I bow myself down before the mistress of all things AbFab & U2!! ;-)

Thanks for all the blog links. I love reading new blogs. Well, new to me that is. That's how I found your blog, I was looking for new content to read. Thanks.

Thanks for the mention. It really wouldn't surprise me if Tiffany started blogging once her computer is back up. She says I'm on mine all the time which stops her from posting, but she lies! I have to sleep and use the bathroom *sometime*! :)
