got punched in the face for playing keep-away with a school lunch cookie (I was being really annoying about it)

    Huh, I wonder how common of an experience this actually is…

    Ok so its subjective obviously but its still a great album, I have it on vinyl and it is a glorious experience when listened to on bigass speakers. Now, the meanings of the songs have changed so much for me over the past couple decades or so, Posession hits WAY different when you realize that its written from the perspective of a stalker. I listen to “Mary” as a sequel to Bruce Springsteen’s “The River”. There are a bunch of things that tie the two songs together and I like the idea that Mary got to take back control of her life some years after getting knocked up by her dumbass boyfriend when she was 18.

      We should do a survey lol. Got a huge nostalgia hit the other day thinking about that period of my life and I put on the first Garbage album. I feel like both of those albums were embelmatic of exploring my queerness as a kid for sure. I’ll have to listen to the Springsteen song back to back, that’s really cool how you linked the songs that way
