Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground

[museicalme]

In light of the utterly depressing announcement regarding the retirement of The White Stripes I've been in kind of a funk. Jack White is one of my few famous crushes, and his swoonworthy guitar work in his original outing always made for a perfect soundtrack to any occasion.

My favorite song by them, hands down, will always be Dead Leaves and the

You know I'll always be there for you, Sis. Just tell me when and where.

[museicalme]

Did I ever tell you I won five hundred bucks in an amateur stripping contest on my eighteenth birthday doing a dance to "I Just Don’t Know What to Do With Myself"? Oh man, I can't even leave my house...

[roseredheart]

...got it. Your place, right now. On my way.

[museicalme]

No, it's cool. I've got a plan. I'll let you know once I've got everything ready.

[roseredheart]

Awesome. Just let me know. I won't make you go through it alone.

...all things considered, though, it's a shame we haven't found Melpomene yet.

[museicalme]

I'm trying to make my apartment more appropriately decorated for a White Stripes memorial. I just need more fabric.

Oh man, if Melpomene was around we'd be mourning in style.

[roseredheart]

Should I be wearing black or white to this event?

[museicalme]

If you need to ask then I don't think I want you there, no offense.

[roseredheart]

I was teasing, sweetie. Anything I can bring to help?

[museicalme]

No, and I really don't appreciate being teased when I'm very clearly depressed. My band mates are here, I'll be fine.

[roseredheart]

Ok. You know I still love you.

...and judging from the noise levels rising in the next room, it's probably just as well I stay here, because knowing my luck, the folks won't have run out of steam by the time I'd get back.

[museicalme]

Okay.

...I so didn't need to know that.

[roseredheart]

...oh, I wish it were that. No. Arguing again. Over Valentine's plans, ironically enough.

[museicalme]

I didn't need to know that either, though.

[roseredheart]

Ah, well, it'll settle down soon enough. You take care of yourself.
