365 project "she always wears blue..."

135.

artist:dashboard confessional
album:So Impossible EP

This EP brings back lots of fond memories, but the one that i always think of first is the one that makes me laugh the hardest.

I bought this EP right around the same time that i decided putting a metal bar through my tongue was a good idea. I was so busy doing college-y things during that week that I didn't bother taking it out of its plastic, but on the drive home that Friday afternoon in Denise's car I finally had the chance to take a look at the disk that i was so excited to own. I distinctly remember reading the lyrics to "hands down" and thinking about how great these songs were going to be.

now, because it had been a busy, rushed day, i had to wait to eat until i got into the car, but because i had fresh damage to my tongue, i was only allowed to eat baby food, and of course when i was done eating i had to rinse with Listerine to keep from getting an infection. none of this seemed to be a problem when i was planning it out, but the best laid plans...

i ate the baby food with no problem. (if you were wondering, it was strained peas...i really like strained peas.) then it came time to rinse, which i didn't really think through until i had a mouthful of Listerine burning a hole through the side of my mouth. i had no where to spit. Denise figured out what was going on and rolled the window down for me, which should have been a decent solution, except that we were on the Garden State Parkway and going easily 80mph. i really didn't have a better option, though, so i went for it.

it all splashed back in. on us, on the dashboard, all over the interior. the whole car smelled like Listerine.

it was pretty rock and roll.
