The Way to a Woman's Heart is Through Her--

Actually, I have no idea, but for me it's music. And there are certain albums that I will forever associate with certain people, either because something happened while an album was playing or his/her personality just suits the music perfectly. A sample, if you please:

1. Tonight - Franz Ferdinand

Ever since that infamous night in May, I've thought about you on-and-off all summer long, and no, or many, thanks to my mother) you contacted me last Saturday. Alas, I will be in Georgia until February. At least I still have this album to *@!#$%& to.

2. Show Your Bones - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

It's fast and youthful and rash and alive, all of which you are too. "Phenomena" in particular fits you very nicely, dear (mostly because your stereo was blasting this song as we sun-bathed on a grassy hillside.)

3. Arular - M.I.A.

Pretty straightforward. You recommended M.I.A. to me, I listened to her stuff, I decided it was good stuff, and now her debut album is forever tied up in you. She's noisy and experimental with a devil-may-care attitude. Reminds me of someone...

4. Like a Star - Corinne Bailey Rae

It's sweet and sentimental without being too cloying or sickly. The lyrics don't sync, but her voice and the mood certainly do. So yeah, every time I saw you this song came on in my head. Some day, man, some day.

5. Wowee Zowee - Pavement

This album is what I had wanted our relationship to be like--irreverent, light, and fun. And even though we've been done for a while now, I still listen to this album occasionally and wonder what we could have been had I not been so busy and distant.

Huh, this was an interesting post. I should do this more often.
