I remember walking through the West Village in the middle of the night with my childhood friend. I started humming this song, and he recognized it immediately. Two seconds later, we burst into song.

Here's a secret:

I occasionally listen to songs that remind me of you... just to see if it still hurts or not.

(Does it?)

Well, maybe that's another secret entirely.

I've said this before, but I'm really happy that I can still learn about myself. If I had three wishes, I think I just might spend one on the ability to speak/read Korean, if just for the chance to rap in Korean at karaoke. Those Koreans... they sure were on to something from the get go. Still, if I have learned anything at all, it's that I am ( Read more... )

I've been recoiling from this realization for the past half hour, but I still can't believe I've misheard "popping bottles in the ice" as "popping bottles in the eyes" for almost two years now.

I've been dark and gloomy since September, and it was kind of interfering with work, so I decided to pull out all the stops and... resort to Japanese pop rock and Korean pop music.
It's been fun remembering how I used to aspire to be Shiina Ringo, watching Quruli live recordings, debating over which H.O.T. member was the best (Woo Hyuk was and ( Read more... )

Oh, and it's a Monday night in June ( Read more... )

I've been listening to your wedding song all day today. I remember laughing when the song came on as you walked down the aisle, but I think I understand it now. It touches my heart in such a strange way tonight. There's something beautiful about living in the present long enough to grow up/old together. Is that love? I've been wondering a great ( Read more... )

Some Beach House songs that remind me of old times:

Zebra:
Sitting on the floor in my friend's bedroom. It was the middle of winter, and we were all in winter coats and shoes. I was studying my friend's fingers as she rolled a joint. This song came on, and I felt like I was floating away.

Funny how all of those stupid songs start making sense after a while.

It brings me back to the week I'd spent learning to ride a bicycle. My father had refused to put training wheels on, so I had scrapes and scabs all over my legs from all of the spills I took. Today's the day, he announced, wheeling my bike out on to the sidewalk. I put on a ( Read more... )
