The sun is out, and I feel like a kid again.

I think I've skipped spring and went straight on to summer.

I feel like I'm 16 again, getting every single Electric Light Orchestra CD I can afford (and back then, they were still somewhat expensive). I'd listen while I walked, while I drew pictures on the floor of my bedroom while the dogs watched, while I slept outside in the tent. There were four albums at the time that I couldn't get my hands on (and one of them didn't exist yet). I finally found them, through the magic of the internet, and I feel like I did 10 years ago, listening to Out of the Blue on my mom's record player, loud enough so the entire neighborhood could hear.

While a lot has changed me, in essence, I'm still that girl, laying on the floor, listening to Jeff Lynne sing about how he turns to stone when his love is gone, and why can't she come back?, drawing Sailor Moon pictures, and being happy.

Edit: And I never noticed that on the cover of Secret Messages, there's a part of a Titian painting. (At least I think it's Titian.) I never could have appreciated that until now, heh.
