Gwen Stefani - What You Waiting For
I listen to this song, trying to get motivated to figure out what THE FUCK I’m doing. Like, I have had this vision for a cafe/bar for a long, long, long time, and it’s super scary, BUT WHEN AM I GONNA MAKE SOME MOVES? I don’t even know where to start. I am so sick of hearing the word “investors”, and I don’t know how to draft a business plan, but seriously, I better figure it the fuck out.
And so sometimes, this song is everything, except the part about the million dollar contract, or being obsessed with Japan.
It’s all so terrifying, mostly because I want to do it alone. I got an email from Megan Rascal today telling me my recipes are a huge draw onto the Vegansaurus site, and I haven’t even made anything from scratch in months. TIME TO FOCUS, time to start cooking, time to work harder than I ever have before. Mostly it’s time to stop concentrating on what I imagine to be holding me back. TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK.
Sometimes it’s like, work on a book, or work on opening a small business? And I get so caught up, and so freaked out, I don’t DO anything. Well, except be a BOSS at my job. The part I get stuck on is how to juggle everything? Because I don’t want to give up my job right now, but I’m not really moving forward either. Not unless we open a new location, if we ever open a new location, because the amount of work space I have to create the desserts that I do is a FUCKING JOKE. It’s stifling. BUT! I get to work in a place where MY NAME is on that dessert case. Sometimes it feels like everything I worked so hard for in Chicago. All those 14 hour days, and 6-8 day weeks led me right here. And it’s time to start moving forward again. Create something new.
The highest compliment I’ve ever been paid is being told I’m “really creative”. It’s all I want to spend my life doing - being creative.
90’s WET DREAM.
Bush performing Glycerine at the KROQ Almost Acoustic Xmas 12/8/12 and WHO SAUNTERS UP TO SING IT AS A DUET?
My mother fucking idol, that’s who.
I never did like Bush very much. But they wouldn’t be a dorky ska teen’s cup of tea anyway, would they?
No Doubt - Push and Shove, Dec 2nd 2012 Gibson Ampitheatre
I still can’t get over that I was there! 2012 was maybe the best year because of this show? Nah, but it was def a highlight!
Tried to get Britney and I tickets to be in the pit, but those sold out in seconds! I was surprised I was able to nab a seat when the official tix went on sale.
Anyway, been listening to this song all day, everyday for the last week, getting pumped for NYE. AM I TIRED? LISTEN TO PUSH AND SHOVE. AM I UPSET? LISTEN TO PUSH AND SHOVE.
This is it. Time for bed. <3
Which means it’s time to watch more It’s Always Sunny.
I just read that Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl” was actually written as a rebuttal to some cruel remarks that Courtney Love made about her. Courtney Love called Gwen a “cheerleader” of the alt rock world, and I’m paraphrasing ALOT here, Gwen was like, “I’ve never been a cheerleader, but fuck you, I’ll be one and take over the world while I’m at it”. (Which she totally did.)
Dis shit is BANANAS. I remember when celebrity skin came out, after Courtney Love had a bunch of plastic surgery and lost tons of weight. The song is about being a sell-out, isn’t it? At 17 I may have sung along to this song, but I also was like, “Dudes, why is Courtney Love singing about her herself so bitterly?”
I need to stop googling my favorite cheerleader pop star in all my free time. But doesn’t Hollaback Girl MAKE SO MUCH SENSE NOW?
One time, the year must have been 2001, all the ladies in my Women’s Studies class were trying to sing Courtney Love’s praises (because that’s what we talked about in class? Hey, we were analyzing the Riot Grrl movement). I was SO shy, I never raised my hand or talked in class. But that day, I did. And I said “COURTNEY LOVE PUNCHED KATHLEEN HANNA IN THE FACE. OVER A DUDE. HOW IS THAT EMPOWERING FOR US?”. Crazy bitches.

Franz Ferdinand covering Gwen Stefani’s “What You Waiting For”. It’s exactly how it sounds.
The original version of Don’t Speak, when it was a love song, as opposed to a break-up song.
When I was in high school, I used to listen to alternative radio in the mornings, while getting ready. It was all No Doubt, Garbage, Sublime, 311 — you know, 90’s radio. It must have been ‘96 or ‘97 and Gwen Stefani had made a comment about how girls should wait til they are married to to sleep with boys, and the DJ’s were cracking up. One exclaimed “She says this while having sex with her boyfriend Gavin Rossdale!”. Even as a virginal 15 or 16 year old I had to roll my eyes, like “Really Gwen Stefani, they have a point.”
