You might be wondering why I chose that for my title. Well, the reason is that I can't seem to get away from that song! I kid you not: On Monday, I heard that full song FIVE TIMES in the span of less than 12 hours. I'm dead serious! I heard it four times because the obnoxious little kids on the cul de sac right above my house are honestly OBSESSED with inviting the other little kids over nearly every afternoon, jumping on their trampoline, and BLASTING, and I mean BLASTING, a CD that they must have burned containing all of the songs that have been very popular in their own time during the past year or so. I can practically recite the soundtrack, but here is an example of the songs on there:
1. "Our Song", Taylor Swift
2. "Hot N Cold", Katy Perry (man voice detector.....BEEP.....BEEP......BEEP BEEP BEEP!)
3. "Disturbia", Rihanna
4. "Womanizer", Britney Ugh Spears
5. "Love Story", Taylor Swift
6. "Let It Rock", Kevin Rudolph
7. .........more Taylor Swift songs...............
As you can see, it's a pathetic list of those you-like-it-at-first-but-then-everyone-loves-it-and-you-start-to-hear-it-everywhere-and-before-you-know-it-it's-morphed-into-one-of-those-insanely-annoyingly-popular-songs-that-you-can't-get-away-from type of soundtracks. And they play it OVER AND OVER AND OVER again until you resort to closing all the windows and try to drown out the lingering background noise with your own iPod, only to realize that some of those very same songs have come back to haunt you from your own piece of machinery!
Oh, and I nearly forgot to tell you about the FIFTH time I heard that song on Monday! I also heard it at the ice skating rink.......I invited Nicole so she came with us to Costco (oh, fun fun, right?!), but we actually managed to keep ourselves amused and somewhat fed there. Unfortunately the taste-test booths were almost all closed, so all we managed to get was a piece of stale brownie and a cold, buttered square of sweet Hawaiian bread. Sounds disgusting thinking back, but hey we needed our nourishment! ;)
Then we went to...um, I forgot, we went on some other errand, and then we finally reached the ice skating rink. Noah's back hurt or something so he didn't skate with us :( But it was soo soo fun!! There weren't a ton of people there, but we still made fools of ourselves singing along badly with the music that they play while you are singing. And then trying to talk loud enough to drown out a song that you don't like. I have to say, I am getting SO sick of "Love Story." I hear it absoloutely everywhere I go, and it's starting to get on my nerves... But anyhoo back to my story. So Nicole and I kept almost-falling on top of each other, especially during the chicken dance -- we all nearly DIED of laughter -- but somehow we managed to stay up every time. All but ONE, that is. We were doing a slightly ridiculous but still fun obstacle course, and Nicole didn't know I was stopping so she bumped into me from behind and I fell and landed quite gracefully on my tailbone. Nicole of course found this hilarious, but I can't remember much else...Monday seems like a looooong time ago.
Okay, so this post is a bit of a monumental occasion. Why? Because I am finally posting - in PEACE - with my very own laptop!! I am so excited! And you know those late night gmail talks.......as much as I enjoy them, are we really willing to risk it again? I'm not sure. If we were ever caught, we would most likely be in big trouble. And my heart starts racing uncontrollably whenever I think I hear someone coming. And then in the morning I always expect my dad to bring it up or ask me what time I got to sleep. And what am I going to do, lie?! No way. Not only is it not right, but I am usually a pathetic liar. I don't know what to do!
Post soon! :)
Love, Brunette.
