sechan19I love backdating. (Sorry for the gap this weekend, I was mondo busy. Please be sure to scroll down for earlier days...)
Your favorite love song
Toss up: "A Sunday Kind of Love," Etta James. "Oh Yoko!" John Lennon.
I had to go for a double this time out because I really couldn't choose between these two songs. For me, they represent two sides of a single coin. On the Etta James side we have the idealization of a true love; the love that we're all searching for in our heart of hearts - that perfect person who understands, challenges, and desires us (and who we in turn understand, challenge, and desire). On the John Lennon side we have the reality of an everyday love; the love that most of us actually find - that imperfect person who nevertheless makes our hearts sing (sometimes even in the bath, when we think we aren't thinking of them at all). Fantasy doesn't always trump reality; a fact that I have always found very comforting.
