Junior High Galaxy

I made it through Jr. High without a lot of scars. I never really got picked on and that was only because I made the meanest girl in school laugh during Home Ec. She totally protected me, like to a fault. She was always offering to hurt people and I was always saying no, but thank you. Only twice did I get called names: Dolphin Teeth & Boris Yeltsin. Not bad for two very potentially scary years.

I sort of enjoyed that time in life. Mostly because of the sneaking around town at night (a great and dangerous thing for a country kid). There was the excitement of standing on the lawn of the school in the mornings and being friends with boys. Orange and blue nail polish, galaxy printed purses, and big white t-shirts. But the hands down best part of those years was the music.

And so, 10 songs for all the Mountain Dew and No Doubt. 

Sunday Morning: No Doubt
Shadowboxer: Fiona Apple
Everlong: Foo Fighters
Tonight, Tonight: Smashing Pumpkins
Glycerine: Bush
Mint Car: The Cure
Tha Crossroads: Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
Doll Parts: Hole
Lightning Crashes: Live
Fade Into You: Mazzy Star (she was and still is one of my all time favorites)
