We had fun with this one at Synergy last night so I thought I'd bring it round for ya'll as well /images/laugh.gif
Okay, I have NO idea where that title came from but it sounded good so I went with it. Shit, I bet more than half of you on here probably don't even remember Joan Jett but I do. Oh yes 7th grade ... "I LOVE ROCK AND ROLL"... Kick ass. Let's see, what else do I remember from 7th grade... hmmmmm....when I think of 7th grade, I think of Jr. High dances... dances were fun. Girls on one side of the floor, boys on the other, all looking so "cool" playing air guitar to Journey and Loverboy... Ohhhh... I remember Olivia Newton John "Let's Get Physical" and Billy Squire "Stroke"... man, i remember my 13th birthday slumber party and we were getting ready to go to a dance... we're singing that song, and my mom just about had a caniption over the lyrics ..."what's he saying? what does that mean.. stroke me?... do the stroke? is that a dance (ala The Twist or The Mash Potato)?" Settle down, ma... not a big deal, we just like the way it sounds. I remember at one dance, some guy from my class "dedicated" the song "Waiting For a Girl Like You" by......drawing a blank here............REO? no......FOREIGNER...yeah, Foreigner. Anyway, this guy dedicated that song to another guy who the guys always teased, and we thought it was sooooooooo funny, but it was really pretty stupid. ah well.
Rainbows were a big thing then, and so were knickers, and V-BACK sweaters. One time my best friend and I dressed (willingly) as twins in our rainbow shirts and denim knickers, and we wore our hair in tiny braids all over our heads. Good lord, I wish I had a picture of that. hmmmmmm.... PAC MAN FEVER.... it's driving me crazy! hehe.... and The Go-Go's were the shit back then too. I got my first subscription to Seventeen magazine for my 13th birthday and guess who my fave model was? Whitney Houston. That was in the pre-diva days.
I bought my first 45 album in 7th grade, I think it was something by the Human League, but I can't be certain anymore. It might have been Flock of Seagulls "I Ran".. but I seem to recall that one from 8th grade somehow. The only way I can keep track of what happened what year is by remembering where in the hallway my locker was. Isn't it funny the tricks we rely on to help us remember things? Here is something I will never forget: "1754, the French and Indian War" ...too bad that happened when I was a senior and not in 7th grade because it doesn't really fit in this post, but that's the way the mind flows, or at least the way mine does.

And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday.
