Let Me Go WAHHHHH

Let me go WAHHHHHH

Like a blister in the sun.  (big hands I know you're the one!)

I am sometimes blonde in the brain.  I never knew I could play yahoo music through my messenger thingy.  Now I know and I am in 80's alternative heaven.

How many times have I danced to these tunes?  Once in a while, even sober, while holding a hairbrush and dancing around in my bathrobe?

Indeed.  Coffee In Bed, by Squeeze.

Love it.

I'm a dork.  I know it.  I embrace it.  I'm so 80's.  Thank God and The Baby Jesus I don't still have the hair.  Yep, no fuchsia braided thingie hanging down  to my waist to be found these days, although the pictures still exist.  I can still hear my mom asking me, "Well, what do you do with that thing when you are at work?"  I told her, "I braid it and put little beads on it and it hangs down on the back of suit. Okay, Mom?"

Then she asked me, "What do you do about that earring up in the top of your ear?"  This was long before it was common to have your upper ear cartilage pierced and my mom was pretty horrified, although I had done it when I was 15 and it took her until I was 20 to actually see it. 

I just told her, "Okay so I'm weird, okay?  I've had that forever, Mom, you never noticed?"  She said she stopped checking what was in my ears when I had my right ear pierced for the fifth time so I could look like Madonna.

What can I say?  I'm a child of the 80's.  I'd grow the rat tail in my hair again and dye it blue or green of fuchsia at any moment but you know, that's so over.

Don't think I'm not tempted.

Shoot that poison arrow through my heart.  You think your'e smart.  I think you're Cupid.

I don't think "blonde" quite covers it sweetheart. We've had this service for over 3 years and you've seen me using it not too much above 100 times. You never cease to surprise me Lisa, and I couldn't love you more.

I had a bunch of those long braided tail things although mine were synthetic add ons in lime green black and cherry red...my parents made me take them out before my senior pictures and I didn't talk to them for a while ... also i was into the whole piercing thing before it became trendy too... i did my own cartlidge as well as 3 or 4 of my other holes when i was in cosmetology class... funny thing is now eventhough i have all the holes still open enough to put an earring in i don't usually wear any ear jewelry...

Ahhhhh--Violent Femmes and Squeeze!!! So good and so fantastically '80's! While I never pierced my ears, I did grow my bangs down to my chin and die my hair a horrible purple/black when I was 17. Oh, the things my father called me! I loved it, though. My high school teachers thought I'd lost it--in a way, I had! Always wore my Alarm t-shirt my senior year. My Echo and The Bunnymen "t" as well. I thought I was soooooo cool. I love your 80's flashbacks, Lisa!

Us children of the 80's have to stick together...the music certainly was memorable, wasn't it? You're right--at least we have better hair now!
