Musical Pipe Dream: I was at a function tonight and I gathered up the courage to nicely ask the deejay if he took requests. When he said yes, I asked if he could play something nostalgic, like Bell Biv DeVoe’s Poison. He said sure, but the song never played. If that song did come on, I would’ve done The Sprinkler out on the dance floor.

Musical Pipe Dream: In Cher’s version, I’ve got a fiddle tucked into the crook of my neck and I pull the bow with long, meaningful strokes. During the breakdowns, I relax my shoulders and pluck the strings to the beat.

In Nancy’s version, I’m sitting on a wooden chair holding a guitar. I have a piece of glass in my left hand to hold down on the frets as I pick at the strings. My eyes are fixated on my right hand and my head is bowed down.

Blurb 1/365: I wonder how the world would be if perspective could be used like currency? Like, you could pay people in perspective. Or you could pay people money to see your perspective. *She was lost in thought … she was missing for 12 days.*
