Every time I listen to "Alexa de Paris," it reminds me of the movie Labyrinth and I think of how well it would've fit in that movie.

I wore out my Parade tape in high school rewinding my favorite part in "Anotherloverholenyohead" over and over and over:

If you don't understand face to face
Baby, I'll tell you down on my knees, yeah yeah!

I really think Prince is really, really awesome.

Sounds like you've got a Prince version of synesthesia.

I wanted to have Prince's baby when I was in middle school.

I managed a record store when Emancipation came out, and I took the life-sized cardboard cutout promo home.

Then I felt weird about him staring at me all the time, and I gave it away.

when i was in 12th grade, the theme for my school's senior prom was party like it's 1999 (was there any school in the u.s. that didn't have "1999" as their prom theme song back in '99?). there was a contest to design the picture that would end up on the back of the prom t-shirts that the prom committee would be selling. i drew this picture of a girl all dressed up, '80s style, with a purple background with white dots (like the 1999 album cover)...it was pretty decent, plus it had one of the colors that were part of the prom layout (purple & silver).

i lost to a fella who drew all these little thugged-out characters. it totally didn't coincide with the theme!

When I have housecleaning to do and need motivation, I always play "Come."

It never fails to get me going.

You should mop that, baby!

I do seem to smell banana cologne in the air every time I listen to The Black Album....

when lovesexy first came out in 1988:

--i remember seeing the albums out in full display (behind the counter on some shelves, no less)...i looked up at the display and was like "wow!"

--when the video for "alphabet st." started playing on friday night videos i remember liking it simply because of the flying letters in the background. i was only 7 years old and i thought it was just the coolest thing.

i probably do, but it's most likely back at my dad's house.

I taste Alpha-Bits all of a sudden.

a while back, a friend and i walked through the skyways of downtown mpls, singing "wedding feast" at the top of our lungs.

and one more thing: i've always wanted a pair of tights with random letters all over 'em, like the lady in the "alphabet st." video. they rock my sox so hard.

my sister stole my very first prince t-shirt (she's a fan too). i was living at her house and all the sudden it came up missing one day. i ain't seen it since.

i KNOW it was her stankin ass who stole it too...funny thing is she's too fat to wear the damned thing.

I watched the First Avenue '83 gig with Romera on Wednesday night.

FunkMistress said:

right?! i mean, damn...

my brother told me once that when he was younger his dad (we've got different fathers) lied to 'im and told 'im that prince was his cousin. he fell for it too, and understandably so because he's high-yella and short like prince is.

FunkMistress said:

no fair!!!!!

FunkMistress said:

I am sooooo with you on that - thats my favorite P song EVER and that part gives me goosebumps everytime!!!!

nobody else has no randomnicity in 'em. i'm appalled.

When I listen to "The Everlasting Now" in the shower, I jump up and down. Because I always do what Prince tells me to do. I hope I don't slip and crack my skull one day.

*flashbackofthe"showerandcrucifix"poster*...gaaaaah!

i've nicknamed my dirty mind t-shirt "the storyteller shirt" because whenever i wear it, i always get random people coming up to me on the street or wherever and telling me a story about prince (usually along the lines of "my best friend's cousin went to school with 'im"). the weirdest instance i've had while wearing it is one day when i was at target and standing in line to pay for some stuff i bought--there was this older lady in front of me and she's like, "hey, where'd you get that shirt from, paisley park?" i was like "no, i bought it from a friend." she's like, "oh cool!" and then she goes on to tell me about some baby pictures of prince at home (i think she knew a relative of his or something...s'possible, mpls is a small place). "i could make you copies of the pix, if you want...you can't have the originals."

i was like "huh?" and politely turned down her offer. it was just weird, man.

Umm there's this AWESOME gelato place down the street from me and in the summertime I go down fairly often to get me some o' that creamy goodness...I always get a raspberry sorbet but it usually goes down like:

"Yeah, could I have a small raspberry bere-SORBET."

I swear it happens every single time. So much that I'm pretty sure the people working there expect it every time I order.



and

"So glam, it's absurd" is an in-joke with me and my friends, yet they have no clue where it's from. I'm pretty sure they think I came up with it.

Every time someone mentions a year 1978-2006, I always feel the need to mention what Prince album came out that same year...
