some songs seem to burn into your brain like a cd burner. i always try to avoid 'don't speak' by no doubt ever since it was all popular-like in 6th grade, but i just came up on my itunes "pArty shuffle". it zaps me back in time to the pattison's west skating rink which i went to with my basketball team and our high school coaches who we thought were mondo amazing because they were in high school and such. anyhow, we were there on a fri. night or something and it was packed with all these junior high/high school aged hoodlums and students and what not so it was intimidating to be these little 6th grade girls. and then this one guy asked my coach for a lighter and it was one of those, "he SMoKES?" thoughts. because in 6th grade the only people you knew who smoked were uncles and risque adults on movies that you weren't supposed to be watching anyway.
anyhow, it was a strange night and this song played on the way back to the slumber party portion of the night. i was in the backseat with stacie i think and alisha, one of the coaches, was in the front seat with her boyfriend. (her having a boyfriend = another whoaaaa moment) and then one of our coaches brother came home at 4 am and she got mad at him. and then later he more or less became best friends with this kid who was in a !gang (and who also smoked)
this is a really terrific example of a random confusing entry. this song will forever remind me of times when kids who needed lighters were the most extreme things i had ever witnessed before.
yah hah.
