i was thinking about my theme song today. i've had this song (jason collett's "almost summer") as my theme song since i first heard it in 2006, and the truth is it's no less true to my life today than it was three years ago. or ten years ago, if it would have been possible to have heard a song from the future when i was seventeen. another truth is that, really, it should have stayed the theme song for a seventeen-year-old girl, but for some reason even though i've aged, and moved, and gone to school and worked at jobs where i don't have to wear a name tag, i'm still kinda seventeen, relationship-wise.
so you know, like occasionally i'll wonder if it's finally become time to move on from this song, if it's stopped applying to my life, if i even like listening to it anymore... and then i'll remember that incident during the summer of 08 (say) when i got way too drunk, told someone i liked them, and then promptly walked into a telephone poll.
so the song stays. or, like the dude, abides.
