hey, hey, hey, hey.

Best moment from last night:

Our neighbors (the ones with the identical goldfish view through the living room window) were having a party. A., U., and I were eating pizza and talking in our living room. We heard their talking. We heard Savage Garden. We heard Semisonic. Clearly, this was a nostalgia party.

Then, suddenly, the familiar strains of "What's Up" by 4 Non Blondes were drifting into the room.

This is the song T. learned on the guitar and played all the time during the spring and summer. This is the song that has helped me form bonds with my friends. This is a song that must be sung at the top of the lungs. This is the song that requires all of the frustrated emotion that can be conjured. Even if you're not at the party.

So we sang it--loudly--and in response, the party sang back to us.

It was a beautiful 2 minutes and 28 seconds.
