gogmagogGod, this song is like MIDDLE SCHOOL NOSTALGIA OVERLOAD
...I ended up downloading Mariah Carey's Daydream after reading an![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ohnotheydidnt post that reminded that oh yeah, this song existed (and that I loved it back in the day). I gotta admit, the album is still pretty awesome, even now...though now it's making me all nostalgic for all the other music that was popular in my peer group back then: TLC, "California Love," the Fugees, the entire Waiting to Exhale soundtrack, etc. Can you tell I went to a primarily black K-8 school? Needless to say, none of us were listening to Alanis or Smashing Pumpkins. XD
Also, this is my life more often than not. Like, say, all day today...despite getting up at 7:30 a.m. I've managed to do nothing today except teach (and I let my students out 20 minutes early), turn in my financial aid form that was due today, and surf a shitload of ONTD. (I'm hoping to do dishes before I go to bed, so the day won't have been COMPLETELY wasted.)
Edit: You know, now that I think about it, it is a kind of depressing nostalgia though - back in my middle school days, I generally preferred R&B to rap, and all of my friends preferred rap to R&B except one, Justin Winslow. So sometimes we'd chat music, since he listened to a lot of the same kinds of music as me. And I'm not sure how many of you'd remember, but I posted a while back that I discovered Justin died of what sounded like a drug overdose in 2006.
...Suddenly, "One Sweet Day" seems a lot sadder. D:
