holy sweet jesus, so many things to reply to. firstly, your memory is the greatest thing i have ever encountered because a) you remembered that our first conversation sprung from lisa loeb, and b) you remembered my username well enough to comment a second time so that we could begin what is clearly destined to be a glorious friendship. and how do i know that our first meeting had lisa loeb? why, i found the first post (http://community.livejournal.com/album_love/4373594.html?thread=50373722#t50373722)! not by magic, like you, but with the skills that only show themselves when extreme boredom is at hand (namely, dull, dumb perseverance). why did we not add each other that first time? the world works in such mysterious ways.
ALSO, HI, YOU ARE THE REASON I HAVE THE MISSY HIGGINS CD? THE GIRL WHO IS THE LATEST AND GREATEST LOVE OF MY MUSICAL LIFE? I JUST- DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS INFORMATION.
aaaaaand the whole reason i thought in the first place to comment on this entry and then promptly forgot to when i actually wrote out a comment? was to say something about how i used to be obsessed with the parent trap when i was about 12 and now thinking about that movie just makes me really kind of sad.
AND LASTLY, i'm still in england, so. that's probably why you haven't seen much of me. now that the end of term is nearing i might be on more, though! but, uh. no promises.
Oh I am SO SO glad you went and found that! And that the link to it will be here, in this post where I can find it, from now on (the commas in that sentence are weird, but I don't know how to fix them). But yeah, I do not understand why we didn't friend each other the first time. LAME. We cheated ourselves out of six months.
APPARENTLY!! I am not at all surprised you adore her (I do too), I always think of your music taste as girls with pretty voices who sing pretty songs. Which is maybe an oversimplification. But.
I'm kind of pre-emptively sad about the next time I actually watch Parent Trap, because I know it's going to be different and less silly because she died. I was totaaaaally obsessed with it too. I spent like a year telling my mom I wanted a haircut JUST LIKE LINDSAY LOHAN'S. Weirdly I don't think I ever got it?
Oh okay! When do you get back? I always assume everyone gets out around the same time I do, which is kind of narcissistic but frequently true. (I got out last week.)
not an oversimplification, more like... exactly true. it wasn't until i signed up for last.fm that i realized just how much of my music collection consists of female singer-songwriters with acoustic guitars and pianos. it is a scarily significant amount. and now i'm trying to think how i would describe my perception of your musical taste. i think you once described it as "cool kid indie stuff"? i'm going to go with that. bands with cool names that i've never heard of.
OH LORD, I FORGOT ABOUT THE HAIR, WITH THE BANGS ON ONE SIDE. i doubt there was a single girl who watched that who did not afterwards beg her mom for that exact haircut. i wonder how many actually got it because, yeah, i definitely didn't. also, if you want a shock, type in 'lindsay lohan parent trap' on google and compare the young girl to the current girl. it is a jarring experience.
i'm back home either end of june or end of july, depending on whether i decide to go to alaska with my mom for july. but no, you're right, if i had been at school at home i would've gotten out last week. all of my friends on facebook had their status set to 'yayyy, i'm freeeee, no more school or exams haha it's so warm ha' while i sat writing an essay and studying for my exams which aren't for another two weeks. oh, and did i mention it hasn't been above 70 degrees yet? but... still. it's england. i'm happy. and not allowed to complain.

Yeah, England is worth a couple extra weeks of school and some cold weather, NO QUESTION. I anticipate your return whenever it is, friend!
