I've been listening to music this morning that brings me straight back to E.A. "Take me to your heart" by some poppy UK group was always blaring in the school cafeteria. I would LOOOVE to walk in there, order some fanqie ji dan chao fan. Oh. yes. I might even grab a vanilla coke to wash it down.
Then I listened to some Colbie Callait and all I could picture was me and LeeAnn sitting in Chicago Coffee, singing the chorus of "Oxygen". "Oh ba-aby if I was your lady, I would make you ha-apy..."
Now I'm listeninig to Need to Breathe's "More Time" and I'm remembering sitting out on our enclosed patio doing homework, the sun shining in. Maybe someone a couple floors up just dropped some sort of liquid out their window that came crashing down on our patio roof, and a little leaked through the roof onto me. "What the?!"
I used to listen to my ipod when I was walking or riding the bus somewhere alone. A classic listen was "Bleeding Love" because you are just JAMMING "But I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you!" in your head...sometimes out loud, because you are in a foreign country and you're already a weirdo, so why not sing out loud and bob your head a little? Sometimes in a city of 6 million it was nice to tune out all the other noise and release a little frustration.
I guess I kind of miss E.A. today. Oh man..."Apologize" just came on. Classic E.A. jam. Remember when Kris Allen sang "Apologize" on American Idol?? And it sucked. I loved American Idol just for that year because we all watched it together. I don't care what Casey says about how terrible it was. Oh E.A...
EA misses YOU! At the very least I will always have your blog and your beautiful writing.
