Or, Why Finding Missing CDs Is Not Always A Good Thing
The Time: One hour ago
The People: Kristen and her HTD
The Setting: Talking on the phone. Haley sitting in her apartment, eating popcorn and watching TV. Kristen sitting in her apartment, ripping long-lost CDs to her computer and flipping through a case full of old CDs.
There is a lull in the conversation.
Haley queries, randomly:
"Why is there a fly in my apartment?"
Kristen answers, bemusedly:
"Why do I have a Creed CD?"
Aaaaaand scene.

Is there a reason you don't write for comedy shows? Seriously?
KA-RISTIN!!!!!!!! i will have you know that when i read that sentence, i lost the ability to SEE COLORS FOR ELEVEN FREAKING MINUTES!!!!
i thought i knew you.
dammit.
i am not going to talk to you for next four hours.
seriously. DAMMIT.
ahahaha! When I got my iPod, I had that same exact experience. Only not Creed. I was more like "WTF? Chumbawumba? Seriously?"
I blame it on Columbia House. I mean, you find 9 CDs you like, and you have to fill those last two thoughts, and you're all like "I get knocked down, but I get up again... yeah, that song's ok."
Oh come on, Pat. We all have a Creed CD. Some of us are just more comfortable with our shortcomings than others.
I bet that when you're driving alone in your car and "Higher" comes on, you crank it, sing it, and rock the guitar riff. It's okay...we all do. ;)
oh my holy crap. i love your friends and their comments. they make me laugh out loud in the middle of the union. ;) and by union, i mean student union - not like . . . yankee union. yeah...
You guys are great.
Bree: Haha - thanks! But then who would draw all those arteriovenous malformations? o_O
Bea: Oh, dear sweet Patrick, you have not even scratched the surface.
Will: That. Is. Awesome. Oh how I miss the wry humor. :)
Haley: Me too. And were you in the vicinity of the Mason-Dixon Line whilST laughing? Apparently that is important. I don't know why.
Bree - umhellnoidonoteitherdammit.
i mean, have any of you gone to my profile and read my random question? i LOATHE creed and all creed related products, scott "creed" stapp, creeds in general, apollo creed from rocky, my brother's friend creed, promisory creeds, and creed from The Office, the American's Creed, and the Shmah.
actually i love creed from the Office, and i also love the apostle's creed. BUT I HATE ALL OTHER CREEDS, INCLUDING THE BAND.
so, no, bree, i do not have a creed cd. my brother does though. and i cuss at him on a regular basis.
Ever notice how people who get reeeeally defensive about stuff are usually just trying to divert your attention from the truth?
So I'm going to have to agree with Bree and allege that yes, Bea, you, like the rest of us, had a Creed phase. And you, like the rest of us, eventually came to your senses. But you, unlike the rest of us, won't admit to that fact. Are there some lingering feelings there, perhaps? Hmm? Are there?
When you're sitting there at Borders with your headphones on listening to "Eisley" or "Counting Crows," you're actually having to physically restrain yourself from flinging wide your arms and singing along with with the music actually filling your headphones, in a strangled, Stapp-like imitation, "With arrrrrms wide oooooopen, uuuuunder the sunlight, welcome toooo this place, I'll show you everyyyyything," aren't you? I knew it.
Sinner. (said all Chris Farley in Tommy Boy-like)
you know the words. creed lover.
We all know the words, because it's effing Creed! That band was everywhere, on every radio station and every TRL countdown. Hell, in 2000 every high school graduating class in the country had "higher" as their class song. (not me, my class had an even worse song...but we won't get into that. haha)
Because at some point, we all listened to Creed. Each and every laughing Yankee, Mason-Dixon-Line dwelling, Columbia House subscribing, Tommy-Boy quoting, Office-watching one of us.
The people have spoken. XD
You go, girl! (I've never said that before in my life. Not once.)
And for the record, my high school graduating class song was "Freebird." I am not joking.
1. Fact: I graduated in 1996...when music was, you know, worth listening to? (DMB's Crash came out that year)
2. Fact: The very first time I heard that creed song, i said, and i'm quoting here, "that sucks. why does that guy's voice sound like that? who's he trying to be? eddie vedder?"
3. Fact: The first time I saw an interview with that scott stapp guy on NMTV (that's non-Music Television for you youngsters who didn't know that they used to play videos), i laughed because he doesn't sound anything like his singing voice.
4. Fact: Every time i hear that song, i dry heave in my mouth a little bit and then have to go to the bathroom.
5. Fact: I can't get the melody of that stupid song IN my head right now, even though i'm looking up at the words that kristIn lovingly wrote down above.
6. Question: Freebird? Really?
Question: Can you technically dry heave in your mouth? Dry heaving, by definition, produces no volume, making it an intransitive (if you will) action.
Therefore, I hereby question the veracity of all statements made by Pat heretofore.
In conclusion: Pat? Liar.
Addendum A: I've never owned any Creed CDs, mostly because between 1998 and 2005, I was in my "anything published by a major label sucks" phase.
asshat.
IHATECREED!!! i just got in an argument with someone about them because it incensed (sp?) that they liked them a little bit.
ARGHGHGGHHH!!!!!
i can't even talk. it incensed ME that they liked them a little bit.
I feel the need to come to Pat's defense here (yeah I know... "who the crap is jo???"). I was friends with Pat during the 'Creed was cool' years and he never liked them. In fact, his reaction was just as he said, 'is he trying to be eddie vedder?'.
Pat, you can pay me later for this. :)
Kristen, I so wish I knew you... you make me smile. We should be friends, but I don't think I'm cool enough. It's true, you can ask Pat.
Jo: Ah, an actual witness to his disdain - the evidence I've been waiting for! :) Although, between you and me (and...well...whoever else is reading this), I believed him about his Creed-loathing from the beginning. But, you see, it's just so much fun to tease him...
And Pat has definitely mentioned you - his stories usually go something like this: "So my friends, Jamie and Jo--Jamie's the guy, Jo's the girl..I know, right?--anyway, they..." :) And how could you not be cool enough? Clearly you like Harry Potter (major points there). Pat says you rock (exact words).
So we should definitely be blogger friends and then if we ever meet in real life it'll be like "Jo, this is Kristen. Kristen, this is Jo." and we can be all "Oh, we know." :)
Oh, we so know. :)
Maybe I'll look you up next time I'm in PHX. Fun times await.
Is it just me, or does 'blogger' sound like some sort of virus? "Sorry. I cant hang out tonight. I have blogger." Just me then?
Pat... you're in trouble now. Kristen and I are going to be blogger friends and I will tell all your stories. Like that time at Cornerstone...
Haha - word. :)
Definitely look me up - I'm all for the fun times! Pat says your family is here, so you may have already heard that today is March 18th and it was 97 degrees. That is wrong in so many ways...
I'm envisioning a public service announcement... [B-list celebrity stands in front of a gray backdrop] "Do you find yourself coming up with quasi-witty titles for your real-life conversations and succumbing to the irresistable urge to write them down for the perusal of the internet public? Do you check for new comments on your blog five or more times a day? If so, you may have already contracted Blogger. Be smart; get tested today. Together, we can work to stop the spread of Blogger." [Camera pulls back, screen fades to black, inspirational star icon shoots across screen whilst catchy motivational jingle plays]
And oooo, are there good stories??? ;)
maybe you two should GET A ROOM.
(shakes head. mumbles.)
Pat,
You're just scared that I'll tell her about that time... you know...
