I've never quite known what kind of cliché to be. I grew up predominantly headbanger, but I've always had at least a couple of dashes of punk and hippie in me. I have a suspicion that I'm a hesher, but Ive never been exactly sure what that means. I tend to think of a hesher as the sort who hangs out in parking lots, smokes weed, and listens to Black Sabbath. Sort of like a burnout. But I've never even considered putting glass packs in my car, and I'm violently opposed to the wearing of sleeveless T-shirts. So I'm not sure.

If you need evidence of just how confused I am, take a look at the back of my car. If that isn't the mark of a mixed-up kid with a sad identity crisis, I don't know what is. (You probably can't make them out, but that's a Minutemen sticker on the left of the license plate and a Slayer "Root of All Evil" one on the right.) Just today I was driving around at lunch and listening to my homemade '80s compilation, which features the Eurhythmics' "Sweet Dreams," Motorhead's "Ace of Spades," Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me with Science," and Quiet Riot's "Metal Health." So, needless to say, I don't have to wonder what people are laughing at when I'm singing along to "Don't Fear the Reaper" and happen to look in the rearview.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going down to the square dance to see if I can rustle up a mosh pit.

Oktibbeha? Now there's a word to think over. I wonder why some states have county names on the plates and others don't?

You know, my first thought upon seeing the license plate was "What in god's name is an Oktibbeha?"

Doh.

I hope you got new tags for your car since this pic was taken. Ack.

Do you know where I can get a Listen to Black Sabbath shirt?

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Oh, shit, that reminds me. I want one too, and in fact I've seen one, but I can't remember where! It's got an early-70s Sabbath picture on the front and "Listen to Black Sabbath" on the back. I think it was on the Web; I'll sort through my huge list of bookmarks and see what I can find.

They might have one with just the text at Unamerican Activities (that's where I got the bumper sticker), but the site's down for redesign.

Sorry, that wasn't any help at all!

Where did you get that "whitey will pay" sticker? I must have one.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Heh--yeah, that's my favorite! I got it at Unamerican Activities, but the site's down for redesign or something. Keep checking, though--they have a bunch of good stickers, and they're really cheap.

You'd think they'd finish the updates first instead of taking the site down.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't understand that either. You don't have to take the site down while you're rebuilding it--just work on it and upload it when it's ready!

I gave you the wrong address for the site--it's www.unamerican.com, but it looks like that's down too. :(

(wonders how long it will be before she gives in and gets the msu license plate)

Don't do it! Go to the Campus Book Mart and get a sticker for a buck--that's what I did. :)
