I'm feeling better! YAY! I felt crappy today at work though, and the heat and actually having to, y'know, work made it pretty horritastic.

I think fandom has ruined me for normal life and normal people. I'm just saying.

There are three songs that'll forever be associated with my friend Jeff: I Love Rock and Roll, Champagne Supernova, and I Just Called To Say I Love You. I seriously CANNOT hear those songs without thinking of him. One of them was on the Singing Bee tonight, which is why I thought of it.

Sidenote: We have "visitors" coming in to the warehouse tomorrow (potential clients) so we have to do cleaning-type stuff in the morning (it's a fucking WAREHOUSE! how clean do you expect it's going to be?!) and one of the things we have to do is take out and/or HIDE all our radios!! WTF?

Back to reminiscing. I was talking to someone last week about my friend Mike (I'm pretty sure I was talking to chaeldub. But that's unrelated. Kinda. I was just thinking of this one time that Mike's boyfriend was out of town on a business trip and Mike called his voice mail and left a message singing "When You Say Nothing At All" and at the time I thought it was the sweetest thing ever. Not that I liked Mike's boyfriend; he was pretty much a jerk and treated Mike like shit. The only good thing I can say for him is that the day Mike's mom was murdered, he made it up here from Greensboro in like half the time it should've taken. Now though? Mike's been in a relationship with an awesome guy (who, funnily enough, is named Michael) for like 8 years.

I'm completely mental. I'm full of ramble and I think it may be med related. Or maybe it's just that I'm trying to make up for those couple months where I felt to depressed to say much of anything.

How about a song? Circle by Marques Houston

Now, I've got something I need to beta. I'm semi around though, if anyone wants to ramble with me. Or distract me.

I was just about to text you! I was watching an old Singing Bee (well, I am, actually still watching it, it just started) and I was laughing at it. And I thought about you. :)

haha! it's so awesome! especially when you try to get the lyrics and screw them up...

*snuggles you* I feel like I'm disconnected from you! Not fun! *smooches*

I love the song I Love Rock and Roll. Funny thing is, half the songs I love, I don't have. Weird, huh?

*has a list a mile long of CDs wanted*

I have a couple of songs I strongly associate with people. Chasing Cars (I think that's the name) by Snow Patrol (I think that's right) will always be associated with somigliana, as will that song by the Fray (sp?) that is on Grey's Anatomy. Bless the Broken Road will forever be associated with my old friend Leah.

Rambles are fun!

*raises hand* I'll ramble. Though I should go to bed within an hour ... I hate working.

*has a list just as long*

whenever I think of snow patrol, I think of Run, which was the first of their songs I'd ever heard, and it reminds me of puterpatty, my 2nd ever Lj friend, who sent me a mix cd 2 years ago & that song was on it and I fell in love.

I think I associate songs/music with a big part of my life.

Sometimes I wish I'd never stumbled on the HP fandom... that I would have gotten higher grades... and worked a little harder at my Uni assignments.

But then I remember all the great people that I've met, and I figure that's worth more than stupid grades which by the time I'm old and about to die, won't really matter anyway. Friends do.

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

The friendships I've made online mean so much to me. And yeah, when you look back on it, you're probably not gonna remember the grades but you will remember "that time on LJ when I wasn't feeling well and my flist offered virtual hugs and belly rubs and chocolate and soup". ;)

But fandom has also made me... not really a different person, but less afraid to act like who I really am, if that makes sense, and who I am isn't "normal" by societal standards. S'ok, though, b/c fandom is my happy place and I would never trade it.

In a strange way, I guess fandom has made me a more confident person... going out dressed up, among other things, never would have happened before that. Now I couldn't give a toss what anyone else thinks of me.
