"Fuck, Yeah!" and "Hey There, Yaz Fans"

I couldn't resist this title for a post, despite the fact it will mean nothing to almost everyone. Before dinner last night, I taught Jessica how to do the "Fuck, yeah!" sign that Ryan taught me, but she one-upped it as we ate, pointing to something she was eating with both hands as if she were flashing gang signs, doubling me over in hysterics and then she started and then our dinner companions were laughing, unsure why, as we cackled through the rest of the meal.

But then I truly made myself sick on the phone with Lesley at midnight as she tried to pick songs for her myspace page and was debating a Yaz song. To which I said she should change her profile so every part of it referred back to Yaz; examples:

About me: I heart Yaz.
Hobbies: All Yaz all the time.
Favorite Books: Anything written on the Web about Yaz.
Heroes: Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet.
Favorite Movies: A Brief History of Yaz and Yazoo.

But then she just pretended to be greeting all of the page viewers with saying "Hey there, Yaz fans..." and between the wine I'd had and my delirious state, I wheezed like an old man on the steps to my apartment.

God, I'm easy.

Sample for Lesley's new Myspace Page:

Hey There, Yaz Fans!

Are you ready to kick it? I mean kick it HARD, because this is the baseline for all that is YAZ. I'm talking newletters, fanzines, and announcements for concerts with YAZ or facsimiles thereof. (Mostly, if we have YAZ concerts, it will be more of a tribute thing, where I dress up as the whole band silmutaneously! So I'll be that woman! And the chorus! And the synthesizer with the echo chamber! ) I can NOT wait to start talking with you people about YAZ! Is this really HAPPENING? Finally, our voices will be heard, and we can all finally, finally talk about what "Situation" meant to us. For example: Where were you as a person the first time you heard "Situation"? What was your "Situation" then? Were you eating soup right from the can and planning a doomed career as professional hair model while your boyfriend of ten years was selling all your furniture for hash? And was that YAZ or YAZOO that wrote "Situation?" What's the "Situation with that?" Get reaady for discussions for hours about this, people! Sidenote: I am interested in meeting people who know YAZ and can explain my "Situation" to them, as I am offically not allowed to contact YAZ anymore after the "breaking in and crying" incident. So barely an incident! It STILL makes me laugh! But that's all I'm legally allowed to say. Here's what else I'll say: YAZ ROCKS.

Anyway! No need for anyone to cry anymore, unless it's tears of joy for YAZ! The newest sensation in today's fast paced podcastworld. It's JUST LIKE EPCOT, PEOPLE. YAZ IS THE FUTURE. Don't ignore YOUR FUTURE.

Anyway, can't wait to meet Yaz all! GET IT?

See Yaz Soon!
