Tiger Beat all over again
Flying from Chicago to Dallas today, Rick Springfield was in first class with us! And I will totally let go of how old it made me feel when NO ONE I mentioned this to even knew who Rick Springfield WAS. Christ on a cross people, get with the program! I totally wish I had my Tiger Beat magazines from way back then -- it was always a toss up between Rick Springfield and Scott Baio... until I went totally bad-boy to Billy Idol. Rick was looking smoking hot, too. I called Leslie when we landed and she informed me that Rick Springfield is actually a year older than my mom, hah! Whatever botox, plastic surgery, etc he's done, it's worked for him and then some.
When we finally got home, I had to check through my iTunes, and found my collection sadly lacking in Mr. Springfield's tunage. Yes, everyone remembers Jesse's Girl, but there's also Don't Talk to Strangers, and Affair of the Heart. Listening to them now, I realize how many vaguely smutty songs I listened to as a kid. Whether the person I am now is an endorsement or an indictment of that fact, I know not :)
Aside from the omg Rick Springfield 2 hours of breathing the same recirculated air, it was a long week. Changes are snowballing, but definitely not in a bad way. We'll be moving in a few months; I've got a clear position and task ahead; and I really feel lucky to have the team we do. More than that, I feel like I'm back on my game after years of sitting on the sidelines. I missed myself a lot, honestly, and it's going to be a learning experience reconciling that with the facets of myself I've added in the last 5 years or so. There's a lot to sort through there still, but things will work out in the end.
