so i completely wasted last night...but that's okay...(or not...) but anyway, today, after class, i was walking back to my (mom's) car and there was this girl walking towards the parking lot wearing an Unknown Pleasures shirt...w/ glasses and black, should-lengthish hair to boot...i would've said something like "that shirt rules" or something inane like that but she was walking with/talking to some guy so that would've just been interruptive and annoying...damn this world!!! HE wasn't wearing a cool Sonic Youth shirt like me...'cuz had he not been there in the works, foiling my schemes she would've been like "oh thanks! that's a great shirt you have on too" to which i would have replied "oh thanks! i just got it in LA at All Tomorrow's Parties...it was quite amazing" "oh wow! you're the coolest guy ever! i wanna do you!" "well seeing as how you're wearing an Unknown Pleasures shirt, in what position am i in to argue?" well, Alan Vega told me to keep my dreams, so i will...but in this world where i just sit there and watch the perfect girl fall right through my finger tips...i don't know how i was gonna complete that sentence fragment so i won't...but this just sucks, when do i get my Joy Division shirt girl?

I totally know what you are talking about. Those Joy Division shirt wearing people are always out to catch your eye! I can't let one go by without saying something. A few months ago a boy came into my record store with the date of Ian Curtis' death tatooed on his arm and I said something to him.....he came back in later and asked me out because he thought I "would understand something about my life".....Out of curiousity I went to McDonald's with him where he proceeded to tell me his life story of abuse, his father's suicide, his heroin addiction, being homeless, etc...while I just sat in an awkward silence.
He still comes into my store occasionally to sell stolen CDs, but avoids me.
Luckily, I have a boyfriend who, on our first date casually asked, "Would you like to listen to this?" as he pulled out the Joy Division box set (back when it was still out of print). Yes, we are still together to this day even! SO! Find that girl. She may either be a crazy heroin addicted theif or the love of your life. Good luck.

maybe i'll see her again at that time on some monday/wednesday in the future going back to my car when class is over and can say "hey! i saw you the other week and you were wearing a Joy Division shirt!" or maybe she'll just turn up at one of my band's shows (the joke there being that we'll ever play a show, let alone practice again...) and she'll be like "oh wow! i like Joy Division 'cuz sometimes i wear this Joy Division shirt and your bass playing on a couple of songs reminds me of Peter Hook..." i'll need to grow out my peach fuzz and get some zippered sweatpants so i can really impress her...
