First of all, best of luck with Yale. I can't imagine ever WANTING to live in Connecticut, but I know you want it bad so know my fingers are crossed for you because I think you're cooler than ice cream

Carina, I love you, and I love that you comment on Scott's jore. Mm, okay, my favorite song. It's "Smile," which I think is originally by Charlie Chaplin, but the only way I like it is from "My Girl 2." The funny thing is that if you think about the actual song, it's something I don't really do all that much in my life. I mean, I'm not advocating "smiling though your heart is breaking," I'm thinking, fucking cry your eyes out if you want to. But I like that it's this sort of constant reminder. Whenever I hear it, I picture the Marilyn Monroe-esque woman from the movie who is singing into the camera, and it's all grainy and she's SO beautiful and all of the people around her just love her voice and want her to sing - and I remember watching Vada (the woman's daughter) watch the video and she started crying and I just wanted always to sing something that beautiful and mean that much to someone. Love you Scodes. <3
My favorite song or all time would have to be Goo Goo Dolls' Iris. I mean, it just dredges up so many memories of 7th grade dances, and I remember feeling really excited about the prospect of love, and not feeling the slightest bit bitter or anything but anticipatory. (And hot stuff, for a 7th grader.) Listening to that song makes me really happy even though it's just a silly pop song. Oh, to have my feet stepped on again. *sigh* I remember dancing with this kid named Zac to that song and thinking I was the shit. Boys. :)

"get out the map" - indigo girls. Okay not necessarily favorite song of all time (i don't make decisions, and picking favorites is the hardest type of decision to make)... but the first time i really listened to this song was on the plane heading to thailand in 6th grade (and this is a 26 hour plane ride, so i really had time to listen to it)... it was the first song on an indigo girls mix that ilana sclar had made me and for the next 6 years that song never lost that sort of connotation for me. That is, every time I heard it I thought about planes and adventure and just picking up and leaving for some unknown crazy time... I still put it on whenever i'm stir crazy or just bored - it seems to represent this whole unbounded world. okay that's going too far with the cheesiness. love you scodes.
I have no idea who you are.. but Adam Carrigan is a friend of mine and I was just browsing through his friends page and I saw your post. And I wanted to say that Tracy Chapman is amazing. I pulled her CD [let it rain] out of the box a few days ago and fell in love with her once again. Kudos to the good taste in music:-D
