Nostalgia, and My Life as a Record

[phoenixfury]

So I went through this morning and read back over the old entries that I've marked as memories. And wow. I really do some of my best writing when I'm... not depressed. Angsty, I suppose is the best word for it

Just so you know, you and I listened to the same Alanis music in junior high/high school. That's a little creepy. (Which reminds me I need to buy her new CD.)

And you have SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) too? I think I might have it, but I haven't actually been tested, so I don't know for sure.

Anyway, nice post. I enjoyed reading it. (And I just realized that sounds very creepy, but I didn't mean it to.)

Those aren't necessarily the CDs I was listening to over those years, just what I was feeling, in retrospect. I went with the Alanis analogy because I think her growth and mine are paralleled, in a really creepy way.

I haven't been tested for SAD, but sod tests. I know I have it, and that's enough for me.

And thanks. Doesn't sound creepy at all.

I can understand the your growth/my growth parallel. I have the same feeling about my Barenaked Ladies CDs (though I've been listening to a lot of their older stuff lately, go figure.)

I feel the same way about SAD. I know I have it, no need to go proving it to anyone (except perhaps my mother, who won't believe me. Argh.)

And you're welcome. Good know I didn't come off creepy.

I heart Alanis -- listened to her and Shakira obsessively through middle school (and was very upset when Shakira did the whole english-language thing). I love how music can be so definitive of you even if someone else wrote it.

And anyway... senior year is weird with the whole personality-change thing. First year of college was like, senior year change times ten on crack.

Amen to that one

I'm afraid to go back and look at diary entries from years ago.... Actually, I'm afraid to look at diary entries from 7 months ago. I change too much too fast :-P

Well, congratulations on being happier than you were two years ago. I sincerely hope that every new year brings you even better things. (God, does that sound like a Hallmark card or what?)
