(kind of fickle, aren\u2019t you today, miss smith?)<\/p>\n
ok, i wasn\u2019t going to mention this, but I LOVE BARRY MANILOW.<\/p>\n
i think this is something i\u2019ve been supressing for years.<\/p>\n
or it\u2019s more likely that i just forgot.<\/p>\n
i forget many many things. i shudder to think what i\u2019ll be like when i\u2019m really old, over a hundred years old. but then again, i won\u2019t remember to be worried about it.<\/p>\n
when i was very young i LOVED barry manilow. i LOVED him. my aunt sandy and my grandmother lived in las vegas for a while and when i went out there for a visit, we went to see barry manilow at one of the casinos and i was VERY THRILLED and i remember that they gave me two very large bottles of ginger ale or something because there was some kind of drink minimum and they wouldn\u2019t serve me alcohol.<\/p>\n
who needs ALCOHOL when you have BARRY MANILOW?<\/p>\n
so when i was just in LA and had my orgy feeding frenzy buying spree at Amoeba Music, i saw a Barry Manilow Live! cd, and i bought it. i didn\u2019t listen to it till tonight, and when i started listening i just got SO HAPPY and i started dancing around and i\u2019ve listened to it twice now and I LOVE BARRY MANILOW.<\/p>\n
i\u2019m sorry if you\u2019re cringing every time you have to read that, but it\u2019s the truth, and i had to get that off my chest.<\/p>\n
i\u2019m sure i\u2019ve written here about me and music. when i was in junior high, i suddenly realized that i had to like a band, any band, i had to start listening to music. as if this would somehow make me less of a total outcast. so one afternoon i listened to “the things we do for love” and “she\u2019s a rich girl” and i liked both of them and decided these were my favorite songs. easy enough.<\/p>\n
but i didn\u2019t really listen to much music, and i still don\u2019t listen to so much of it to this day.<\/p>\n
the thing is, it\u2019s one of those things i forget. i can just be, in complete silence, for hours at a time, and i don\u2019t even realize that there\u2019s no music playing or no noise at all. i think this is because it can be pretty loud in my head. there\u2019s at least one loud conversation going on up there most of the time.<\/p>\n
it\u2019s not that i don\u2019t like music; i really do like it. and as i\u2019ve gotten older, i\u2019ve listened to more kinds of things, and i like most of it. but the problem is that i try to listen, but my mind wanders off and i forget all about the music that is playing and suddenly i realize that it\u2019s once again quiet. <\/p>\n
on the outside, anyway.<\/p>\n
anyway, barry manilow. i LOVE him. and i\u2019ll probably listen to this cd so much that i get thoroughly sick of it and i won\u2019t listen again for years and years.<\/p>\n
today was a very good day because i found my dress. it was crumpled on my closet floor. this made me quite happy. <\/p>\n
not to mention the fact that TOMORROW IS FRIDAY and i get to go dancing tomorrow night.<\/p>\n
in my dress that is no longer lost.<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
