halo sinister.. i am running awfully late for my nightly piano gig, but i had to tell you something: he called me.. from pulp. in cambridge. just a few hours ago. i work in an icebox, otherwise known as an IT room, and my mobile gets no signal in there, so i missed the call.. but you see, it is some sort of tradition we have, to call each other from shows that the other cannot attend for some reason.. so it's like we were there.. he called me from radiohead as i was lying half asleep in bed. i called him from new order as he was stuck at work on a project. then i called him from ivy on my birthday cos he was too exhausted from staying over to late the night before to make it.. (he lives a few hours away and had to drive straight to work, you know..) and then there was the request he put in for a cover, so i called him from my show when we did "your silent face".. so it was his turn to call i guess.. the song he chose to call me for today was "something changed".. as i was racing home to change attire, the traffic seemed to slow me up in time to hear through the static- that familiar melody.. and i felt my fat bottom lip suddenly morph into a thin tight line pointing from one ear to the other like a tennis net strewn across my face, which promptly forced tears to shoot out from my eyes like tennis balls from a machine. somebody backhand me, please. i am fighting with myself over the question "is 1:00 to early to call somebody, even in the uk?" arg. the longer i wonder, the later it gets. blame it on Am�lie. i saw it last night. maybe it struck too many harmonious chords in me, and now i have to sing about it. but i woke up feeling a smile inside- like somehow the day wasn't as broken as usual.. ? he flies home tomorrow. i can't wait. i just had to tell you he called, cos it means that much to me. "where would we be now if we'd never met? would i be singing this song to someone else instead? i don't know, but like you just said.. something changed.." *sigh* ok gotta jet hearts, juju __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
