Everybody else is doing it, so why can’t I?

I heard this song on the radio. Something clicked. I thought to myself, I know that tsunami of sound. I know that orchestra effect, music swelling and lifting you up. Like soul music without all the Jesus references.
As with all the songs I like at the first run, I put this one on repeat. The [...]

Lately I’ve been trying out the web-based Yahoo! Messenger in the office because the YM client is blocked (it’s a little slow seeing as it’s Flash-based and everything; thanks for asking), so I’ve had the chance to sort of pester my online friends and try to get them to talk to me.
