elvendollthere's a bunch of (old) cd's on the barstool that i keep forgetting to bring out of my room...
one of the cd's is a weird compilation cd i got from the (now) husband (then boyfriend) of one of my mom's childhood friends when we first moved back to NJ from california - they had come to visit, and when i answered his question of what kind of music i like, i was very surprised that he knew what i was talking about... and then a month later my mom gave me a package of three cd compilations from him - i don't remember what the other two were off the top of my head, but this one had a case of you by tori amos on it.
now, i knew kira liked tori amos, but for some reason, whenever i heard her stuff in passing (and i didn't know she did cornflake girl back then) it didn't do much for me. and then i heard a case of you. my cd player can't put a single song on repeat, to i'd use my portable cd player to hook into the tape deck of the little boombox to play the song on repeat.
i can't begin to describe the impact that song has had on my life... but, it also got me into tori amos. which later on, got me to a tori amos concert in lowell. which sparked a rather traumatizing yet emotionally significant evening, and which then ended leading to a fling/relationship/friendship that i consider to be very important (even if not very active) in my life.
and there must be dozens of things like that. little tiny coincidences striking up long chains of events.
and yeah, i'm feeling a bit better. even if (or maybe because) i'm still incredibly groggy.
i must've fallen asleep around 10:30pm last night...
i slept weird. somewhere between anxiety, humidity and heat, i woke up a lot during the night, only to realize that i really need to roll over and go back to sleep. because b. was playing music in the computer room, i closed my bedroom door shut. amusingly enough, the kitty seems to think that she's got a right to sleep in the same room as me, because at around 4:30, i woke up to her scratching & meowing on the other side of the door. but after i let her in, she snuggled up to me for a little bit : )
