Listening to the new Marilyn Manson album and thinking about May 13, 2003…
The Golden Age of Grotesque was released that day, and my mother would have preferred that I not acquire it. (Soft disdain)

Hearing this song (age 11) was the first time I really realized:
“OH! This is the voice of that thing inside of me!”
That it seemed to communicate through music, at least.
I made a big deal of it to my brother, who responded, “IDK you’re weird, dude.” 😂

Once upon a time in 1999, my cousin was doubting herself while MTV played in the background.
Mid-pep-talk, I added:
“Never forget—LFO tried rhyming hornet and sonnets, and they’re making money. You can do anything.”
I’ve kept it on my playlists as shorthand pep-talk ever since. 😂

The first time I heard this song was when my best friend and I snuck into some club in Ocean City, MD when we were 14.
DDR competitions at the arcades all day…
teen girls acting out all night.
Our parents were probably off being 10x more dysfunctional, tbf. 😂

Out of nowhere, this has been stuck in my head for DAYS.
It always pulls me back to my first boyfriend (I was 13, he was 17).
This was one of the songs he associated with me.
We met through a real friend, but our relationship was mostly online. 🧵

"Fall to my arms,
hold their mesmeric sway
And dance out to the moon
as we did in those golden days.
Christening stars,
I remember the way.
We were needle and spoon,
mislaid in the burning hay."

Okay so I remember this specific day when I was 8, and I don’t know the circumstances around it.
But I was playing the song “Bitch” by Meredith Brooks over, and over, and over again, all day long in my bedroom.
I was performing, singing, dancing, learning it on guitar. 🧵
