fall at your feet

on the Ben Lee Blog I noticed that the only people that comment are female. There is Suzie Q - who I think is planning world domination by gathering peoples phone numbers (!?!?!) and the little 14 year old Rachel. She is infatuated with Ben and has a very interesting sense of humour. There is also Kristy, Bianca, Dreamdays, Stacy and... uh... others. They all comment about what ben has written, and have little conversations within themselves which is nice. They aren't very accepting of others though - for example... me. Which is fair enough, i don't participate in their conversations, nor do I really read them. But occassionally i make an effort to see what they are cracking on about (its common for there to be about 50 comments per post.) and the other day I tried to fit in and say, yes Tim Tams are good - but have you ever noticed that all the people that comment on here are women?
Needless to say, my comment was ignored. Well, it was ignored until Ben brought it up in his next blog post. He must have felt sorry for me or something, someone should tell him that i'm used to being rejected so he needn't have bothered.
So now what are all the comments about?!?!?! How all his fans are female and how they all love each other and how females rock and blah blah blah.

However this time Ben Lee mentioned me he didn't actually go "Emma made an interesting point..." it was more like (oh wait, no... it is "interesting"... just no recognition of me. meh. im used to it)

its interesting the comment that so many of the people involved in this blog are women. i grew up surrounded by women, my best friends were always girls, and so much of my audience is female. on top of that my spiritual practise is devotion to the divine mother of the universe! clearly i have some karma to sort out with women! but i think that even early in my musical development i was interested in helping steer the world back to a more "feminine" approach. intuition. compassion. co-operation. often these elements are ignored in a patriarchal society. in those times, we need to correct the balance, to bring back the path of the mother. nurturing. loving. protecting....its quite a journey...

On a new note, but still with a Ben Lee theme, read this (c/o the Bens blog.)

me and missy have been planning songs to sing together on our tour so thats gonna be awesome. looking forward to rehearsing with her this week.

Wah. I'm so sick of Missy. Honestly, she's damn talented, beatiful inside and out. But if I hear one of her songs again, I will scream. I hate it how the radio wreaks perfectly good songs. The radio wreaked Gamble Everything For Love, and its starting to wreak Catch My Disease for me. (mind you, Catch was never really a favourite of mine)
But why can't missy go back to being the old "Greed for your Love" type missy. Where I possibly only heard that song once or twice on the radio, and that was on triple J. meh. Maybe her new songs with Ben Lee won't get played, so I can go back to enjoying them. Although, by the sounds of it, they wont be recorded anyway.

- Em xoxo

p.s Fingers crossed, but I think I may have gotten rid of a lot of the spam problem. *touch wood* but there will still be the occassional, maybe. But yeah, I hope most of it has gone.
p.p.s IS exam this morn was total poo. i didn't even attempt the algorithm that you do from scratch, nor did I do the context diagram, only because i forgot what that was. :S
