1) i have any man of mine by shania twain on my ipod. and i like it. on one level, this horrifies me - it is corporate-packaged country, it has lyrics that manage to cram every female stereotype into four minutes of music, and christ on a bike, it's shania twain. and yet, i cannot help myself.
2) it's really creepy when a guy walks down the street with his girlfriend, and instead of holding her hand, he holds the back pocket of her jeans. creepy on a "too much PDA" level, and creepy on a "unneccessary control of personal space that isn't his" level. creepy all around, boys, so stop it.
because i'm never going to write the great american novel. damn that f. scott fitzgerald.

Is it any consolation, re: #2, that my ex-girlfriend sometimes did that to me? Le sigh.
I was just going to say something similar. When I'm feeling spunky I do that to MY guy.
What I hate more than the hand-in-butt-pocket move, is the hand-around-neck move or arm-around-neck move. Notice I don't say "shoulders," but "neck." Makes me want to put my hands around their necks...
I only do that to screw with my girlfriend, because she agrees with you. But yeah, I wouldn't really do it seriously. It's just kind of weird.
Love the expression "Christ on a Bike." Am already trying to work it into conversation. Thank you!
