and are you thinking of me when you fuck her?

it's june of 1995 and i am a young girl, 13, trying to find out who i am and my place in the world. i am discovering this new and exciting world of punk rock. listening to rancid and d.o.a keep me going. then one morning awoken from mosh pit dreams and khaki nightmares, i hear alanis morissette broken hearted and wailing on the softrock station in my mom's bedroom...i am smitten. alanis and tim armstrong were equal in my heart.

but every relationship comes to an end and my love affair with alanis was not meant to stand the test of time. actually, it wasn't meant to stand the 'cool' test along with all my little punk icons and ripped badass jeans.

:(

fast forward 1o years later. it's 2005 and i am still young, 23 and still trying to find out who i am and my place in the world. i am still discovering the exciting world of punk rock (and TONNES of other stuff). still listening to rancid and d.o.a to keep me going and this morning i was once again awoken from mosh pit dreams and khaki nightmates by alanis morissette. but, this time it's a bit different because as i've aged these past ten years i have realised that i am NOT cool, despite many years attempting to be, and this time around alanis is coming from my stereo!

that's right kids, mediocre angsty chick rock is back with an acoustic ten year anniversary edition and i have been listening to it non-stop for the past day!

so here we are, ten years later, still the same girl that i was at 13 ( i even swear as much) and i love it. it's a comfortable place to be.

xx michelle.

p.s. i have decided to reinstate a new feature...photo of the day! (not because i take good photos but just because i like the arty dimension they add to my blog...ha ha ha...nah, that isn't it either. i just feel like it...who knows how long it will last.

bwahahahahahahaha...yet another homeless traffic accident happens again at michelle's place of work :P i kid, of course.

btw, i saw that acoustic version of "jagged little pill" at starbucks. i was really fucking tempted to pick it up too, all the while thinking to myself, "shit, this is a sign i'm too old to be as aggro as i am."
