Swoon. So today I'm in a hopelessly romantic mood.But Brittany, you say, whyfore?
Well I'll tell you. Sometimes I hear certain songs on the radio--most of them old school--and they make me think of happy, wonderful moments in my life. The current top of that list is Ben Folds' "The Luckiest" which phrase I happened upon this morning and it triggered a memory. A very good one, too--although the Boy doesn't know he was even a part of that memory. It was a song I had in my head just after Valentine's Day. Funny that.
My roommate and I used to dance around the living room in our apartment to songs like that. And songs like this. And if Kristi were home, we'd dance to this. Once we had a group of guys from across the complex come over and ask us what we were doing. It's an interesting way to make friends: you never have to worry about doing anything stupid in front of them, because you've already put forth your shamless self to their scrutiny.
I'm glad to say that the return of music, dancing and me singing out loud to myself has returned. I was playing the piano the other day while singing and I realized I was actually hitting the RIGHT notes!
This is monumental.

*sigh* i absolutely LOVE that ben folds' song. seriously, the sweetest & most romantic song ever.
& i once had a roommate, too, who would dance around the apartment with me singing moulin rouge songs. we were partial to the elephant love medley.
*sigh* good times.
I really need to listen to the "The Luckiest" song now.. someday.
I'm glad your singing and dancing now! My uncle used to make fun of me because I liked to sing and dance. Please don't mention that.
Annie's song is kind of the song that we never took seriously in my house. It's fun to sing like a goat. And we have the sheet music for it...rock on!
