Dar Williams comes over to my house and we sit on the front veranda on breezy summer afternoons and drink herbal tea. We laugh and cry and tell stories about the heartache that we see in the world and how much we wish we could help. We go on road trips and sing loudly with all the windows rolled down. We covertly smoke cigarettes because even though we’re good girls, we enjoy being bad every once in a while. We understand each other and that hugs are the best gift in the world.

Destiny’s Child and I get dressed up in insanely high-heeled shoes and skimpy outfits and hit every single club in town until dawn. We drink until we get the giggles and shake our bootys, and they laugh at my flat little white ass. Beyonce and I compete to see who can be the bigger diva. All my friends hate my new girl pals and have told me to shut up about how much fun they are.

Air and I lie around talking about everything and anything. They never laugh at my bad French and they understand true love. We hold hands on the subway and smile at each other like we’re twelve year olds. Everything else fades into a blur of colour and mood when we’re together. We’re so quiet that no one notices how completely happy we are.

there's miss difranco,first and foremost...ani and i have been together for over a year..we talk,and she always gives me hugs and rubs my back and tells me that things are going to be alright. we cry together,laugh together,have sex together...and when i'm really upset,we drink coffee and throw things together and laugh. ani and i will be together for a long time to come.

jeff buckley and i have a new relationship,and it's one that i'm growing quite comfortable in...i absolutely adore him. we go for walks in the rain together and hold hands and he picks flowers to put in my hair and will touch my lips with his fingers before he kisses them. at night,he holds me in his arms just keeping me close to him and singing softly to me until i fall asleep and right before i drift off,he'll kiss my forehead and whisper how much he loves me.he even gets up in the morning to make me coffee and toast.we like to sit out on the verandah and write together and i just look at him sometimes,mesmerized.

the counting crows (or more specifically,adam duritz) and i have an on again,off again relationship. we'll go through periods where we can't get enough of each other and we'll have sex and go crazy and kiss and cuddle and all of that,and then he disappears for a month or two at a time..he confuses me sometimes,but he's always beautiful.

coldplay and i are getting close,only because i could watch them play for hours. the sex is mediocre,but the music is damn good. i suppose that's all that matters,hmm?

melissa ferrick and i are girlfriends...i don't think i've ever had sex like i've had with her..she's damn good. we do it anywhere and everywhere. she makes me laugh and helps me to rock out and be hardcore and when i'm sad,she'll sit and play for me for hours and i am totally amazed just watching her pound away on her guitar. we like to go clubbing together and sometimes when we get in fights,i'll find her later that night just sitting at the bar,chain smoking and drunk off of her ass,and i have to end up carrying her out in my arms.

edie carey and i have a constant close friendship...she's my best friend,actually. at times we drink a little too much and it goes too far,but we get up in the morning and go back to being best friends. we try not to push things too far. she's just beautiful,though...

tegan and sara and i have threesomes. that's all there is to it.

ben harper and i make love on the weekends or when i'm in a really mellow mood. i'll call him up and be like,"benben,how about you head on over and we'll just..hang out" and he knows..yes,ladies and gents,he knows that there'll be some love-making going down. we like to go to the market together and get vegetables and we cook dinner together sometimes.

greg brown and i have a relationship like the one i have with ben. soft love making. and sometimes i make him just sit and talk to me...just that voice...gah...

i've had various one night stands with erykah badu,lauryn hill,dave matthews,jason mraz,the dixie chicks,natalie imbruglia,and sarah mclachlan. i remain friends with them to this day. close friends,even....

i'd like to say that i have had some bitter relationships with celine dion and hanson[/i]...

See, Ferrick and I have an understanding. When she's on the road, I don't claim her because I know she loves the attention and she's more woman than I can handle. But when she drives all night back to see me, well, let's just say she doesn't have to fake it.

Lucinda Williams and I are currently having a very laid back, hot summer affair with lots of smoking and whiskey and sweat. Too bad she'll be itching to get back to Baton Rouge before too long. Still, I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

Yea,I know what you mean...Melissa and I have had that conversation a few times,ourselves...it's really hard,you know,but..sometimes it's like a live action version of "drive",if you know what i mean,which i'm sure you do...we've agreed that we'll never be monogamous. but damn,when we get together,we get together...

glad to hear about you and lucinda. i have that kind of relationship with van morrison,right now,i almost forgot about him.

Garbage is my best girl friend. We met in 8th grade Home EC. She made the cool coin purse in class. She went through a phase thinking she was the biggest badass, but I knew she was pretty fragile inside. A lot of guys are intimidated by her. Girls don't really like her because they think she's kind of slutty and bitchy. Her and Weezer kind of clashed at first, but I forced them to hang out.

Radiohead is the quiet guy in class. The one no one really pays attention to. The one who occasionally speaks up in class, and everyone turns around to stare at the guy with the soft voice. I worked with him on a project once. He's a pretty interesting guy and I want to get to know him more.

I kind of remember the Violent Femmes from high school. We didn't hang out, but I saw them at parties. They always looked like they were having fun. We ended up going to the same college. We like to hang out and party together.

Air comes over to cook me dinner and then ends up staying all night, alternatively talking with me and making out with me. We watch the sun rise.

The Kings of Convenience and I have serious crushes on each other, and we write pen-pal love letters across the Atlantic.

Isaac Stern only has to play a few notes on his violin before I'm in a puddle... and he knows it.

[Edited to tell about Jay Kay]

Then INXS and U2 came along. All my friends told me I couldn't date them both at the same time. I would have to pick one or the other. They would stand outside my bedroom window and serenade me all night, dueling for my heart. I admired U2 for earnestness and politics, but eventually, they broke my heart by going all slick and cheesy and seeing other, more sparkly girls. INXS consoled me by not really changing all that much, and keeping me out all hours drinking and dancing.

the The were the strangest feeling I'd ever had. Matt still comes over sometimes. We crawl into bed and remember the illness he had that spawned Infected--I brought him chicken soup and aspirin.

I've been painting toenails with the Spice Girls, and none of my friends understand it at all.

X took me out to all sorts of new, grotty places, we still see each other on and off, but they can't get over my intense hatred of LA and I can't get over their love of it.

Nick Cave. Oh Nick. We can only see each other in the dark. He will not shut. up. and his voice keeps whispering in my ear--when he's not screaming down the back of my neck.

I spurned Depeche Mode everytime they called until they rang me up with Violator. Now I spend lots of nights checking the caller ID when Nick's not home, seeing if DM has called again.

I'm addicted to my girlfriend Ani Difranco. We've been together for nearly 7 years now, and we've seen each other through so much. I've watched her fall in love with a boy, make it big(gish) and change her sound radically. She's watched me fall in love with a girl, go through puberty, shave my head, and grow out of my early man-hating "feminism". At times we have disagreements (like the electric version of "Out of Range", for example), but we always manage to work through them. We have an open relationship because she's on the road so much, but we can't ever get enough of one another. She knows exactly what I need, and how to give it to me, but we're always trying new things.

The Lowest of the Low and I are having a long fling. We spend weeks together at a time, non-stop, and never tire of one another. We have fun doing all sorts of crazy things, and our relationship is like a montage in a movie. Still, at the end of a long day together being goofy, Ron and I can sit down and have a serious talk, and he'll hold me and make me feel as though there's no one else in the world who can understand what I'm going through, and then make me laugh until I cry.

The Beatles are my ex from way back when. We know each other so well, but rarely see one another any more. We've both moved on. Still, when we do get together to catch up, it's fabulous. We sit and laugh for hours, and understand each other so perfectly, we have to wonder why it is that we broke up. Then we start to tear each other's clothes off, and they kiss me all over and we make sweet love. When it's over, though, we don't see each other for months.

I'm just really good friends with Eddie From Ohio. We tried to go the romance route, but we're much better off in a platonic way. We can sit in the park for hours on end, laughing our heads off and being silly and hypothetical, and never run out of things to say.

Japancakes and I make slow, lazy love to one another, and then lie in one another's arms for hours afterward. Still, whenever I wake up, I wake up alone, with a tired grin from ear to ear.

I used to be best friends with Lisa Loeb, and we had kind of the same thing going that she had with Desire. We haven't seen each other in a while, though. I think I'll ring her tonight.

I had sex with Creed once (only once) right after I heard "With Arms Wide Open" but I have been too ashamed to admit it. Because I hate Creed. I was drunk, what can I say?

Currently I have a secret crush on Lifehouse. I want Lifehouse to come into my room at night and ravish me wildly for hours and then whisk me away to a beach in Greece. I think Lifehouse is hot, but feel guilty about that.

Britney Spears is my bitch.

Enya makes long, slow love to me every night, except when Enigma comes over.

Train, Coldplay and I have been meeting for drinks after work lately. We have fun, but I am not sure how long it will last.

The Beastie Boys and I had a very fun fling in high school that lasted for a very, very long time. Now, when I am sad or depressed or upset, the Beasties come over and we have crazy sex and then I feel better.

Moby and I used to have a lot of fun together. We would dance and dance and dance, but then we did too much E and now I associate Moby with coming down and bad rolls and stuff. I think of him wistfully, but it is easier on me to just not see him anymore.

I lost my virginity to Led Zepplin

Matthew Good (of the Matthew Good Band) can be held mostly responsible for stealing me away from the Backstreet Boys. He was angry and cynical, but at the same time he was poetic and brilliant and capable of being romantic when the mood struck him. I loved him from afar for a long time because I was afraid of him, but as soon as I decided to try and get to know him better things got intense. He's moody and emotional, but I'm that way too, and I feel less strange about it knowing he's the same way. I like to think I bring out his softer side. We've cried late into the night, and sat on the roof talking and debating for hours. After just being friends for a while, we started having sex last summer, and it's been fantastic. We're going to do it in public on July 7. I can't wait!

While that's happening, I've been dating others. For the past three years, I had something really serious going on with Cocco, and it sort of led to my trial separation with DD. Thing is, she called it off when she announced her retirement back in February.

Right now, I've been hanging out with a woman named UA, and she's been very good to me. She's a bit more mature than Cocco, so I think there's some stability. I've also been flirting with Shéna Ringö and Van Tomiko of Do As Infinity.

Emmylou Harris and I still see each other once in a while, but when I want to get something quick, dirty and kinky, I'll have a dalliance with an occassional boy band -- LFO, 98 Degrees, BBMak. I don't return any calls from 'NSync or those Backstreet Boys. Yuk.

Kronos Quartet, John Zorn -- I say we're more like friends nowadays. There was a time I was totally devoted to them, but then they started to get a bit too intense for me, so I had to back off.
