In any friendship, you reach that ideal point where this friend-person is truly fascinating. You know none of their flaws and know only their strengths. Of course, this is only a short-lived deception, because this friend-person starts doing crazy things that make you go "WHOOOOAAA HOLD YOUR HORSES THERE, THIS PERSON IS CRAZY, HOW THE HECK DO I RUN AWAY FROM THEM WITHOUT MAKING IT TOO OBVIOUS."

Unfortunately for me, I always manage to hit this point in a friendship pretty early, which may explain why I have to bribe my "friends" with free meals and drinks (speaking of which, anybody up for some free food this week? My friends seem to have magically gotten "busy" all of a sudden... har har).

Quite recently, while on a drive back from Boston to Cape Cod with Nora, Nora was fiddling with my iPod for songs to listen to. Due to her early arrival (9am) and me having to endure city traffic (Logan Intl is in the middle of Boston), I was somewhat quiet. Nora suddenly chuckled to herself and remarked, "I can't believe this song is on your iPod!"

Now, there are plenty of songs that one could make this remark about (Arethra Franklin's "It's Raining Men", Aqua's "Barbie Girl", pretty much anything by S Club 7, Salt-N-Pepa's "Push It", the list of hideous music goes on and on), but this song was to be special.

As soon as I heard the opening piano riff of Nora's selection, my body suddenly went into a series of convulsing jerks (which in my mind was a series of smooth-flowing sexy dance moves, but unfortunately I'm dancing-retarded). I felt a sudden surge of adrenaline pump through my system... in my mind, I was there. I was in the trashy Euro dance club, ready to get my groove on with any willing female (or male!) participants within the immediate vicinity.

"SING THE GIRL PART, NORA!" I demanded. Her laughter quickly subsided as she realized I was being dead serious.

"DO IT NORA I'LL DO THE GUY PART AND THIS'LL BE AWEEESSSOOMMMMEEE."

Unfortunately, her "singing along" wasn't loud enough for me, so I joined along in my falsetto (which even by my own admittance is pretty bad). Then the guy part came along and I sang that part too!

I'm pretty sure I sang both parts to this song (which I will post below as my "song of the day") the whole way through. It got me so AMPED, but I'm pretty sure that was at the price of Nora being emotionally scarred for life.

After that, the number of "I can't believe this song is on your iPod!" selections by Nora stopped.

I really hope that any cute single girls who are internet-stalking me aren't turned off by this post. CAUSE I'M REALLY NOT THIS CRAZIES. I'M REALLY SORTA KINDA COOL. PLEASE BE MY FRIEND.

The mystery song: (MP3)

The Real McCoy - Another Night

Another night, another dream, and always you
It's like a vision of love that seems to be true
Another night, another dream, and always you
In the night I dream of a love so true

Just another night, another vision of love
You feel joy, you feel pain
'Cause nothing will be the same
Just another night, it's all that it takes
To understand the difference between
lovers and fakes, oh baby

I talk, talk, I talk to you
In the night in your dream of love so true

In the night, in my dreams
I'm in love with you
'Cause you talk to me, like lovers do
I feel joy, I feel pain, 'cause it's still the same
when the night is gone I'll be alone

Another night, another dream, and always you
It's like a vision of love that seems to be true
Another night, another dream, and always you
In the night I dream of a love so true

Just another night, another dream
Another vision of love,
And we are here to set you free
I am the lover, your lover
Hey, sister, let me cover your body with my loving
Is my loving just a number?

Vision of love that seems to be true
we will do all the things that only lovers do

In the night, in my dreams
I'm in love with you
'Cause you talk to me, like lovers do
I feel joy, I feel pain, 'cause it's still the same
when the night is gone I'll be alone

Another night, another dream, and always you
It's like a vision of love that seems to be true
Another night, another dream, and always you
In the night I dream of a love so true

I talk, talk, I talk to you
In the night in your dream of love so true
In the night, in my dreams
I'm in love with you
'Cause you talk to me, like lovers do
I feel joy, I feel pain, 'cause it's still the same
when the night is gone I'll be alone

Another night, another dream, and always you
It's like a vision of love that seems to be true
Another night, another dream, and always you
In the night I dream of a love so true
