i remember buying gauchos from old navy.
i remember the first time i saw my dad really cry.  i was making pancakes with my friends.  
i remember in 7th grade i had a cough, so i took medicine and pretended it made me crazy so i could make friends.
i remember driving around in the winter with the windows rolled down and the heat blasting, trying to pretend it was summer to make myself happy.
i remember being sung to by a boy and never wanting to be sung to by a boy again.
i remember 5th grade basketball and getting in trouble because i wasn't aggressive.
i remember that my favorite part of the movie Spirit was when Spirit got taken away from his horse family.  
i remember when a stranger came to our house just to go to the bathroom. she clogged the toilet and left.
i remember seeing my friend for the first time after she got sick.  i cried the whole way home and people stared.
i remember going to mexico and wanting to come home, then leaving and wanting to go back.  i remember wanting a lot of things back after they were gone.




                                        


music makes things better

pump up the jam,
pump it up
while your feet are stomping
and the jam is pumping
look ahead, the crowd is jumpin'
pump it up a little more

get the party goin' on the dance floor
see, 'cause that's where the party's at 
and you'd find out if you do that.
