The one with the Alanis song

I did laundry earlier today with music on earphones and an acoustic version of an Alanis Morissette song came on. I remember listening to the regular cranky version of the song on bad days, many years ago. I used to sing the cranky versions with girl friends, with exaggerated emotion as one might with angry girl music. But like I said, that was ages ago. Oh the naiveté of youth—when you think you HAVE problems, when you think you know pain. After you have lived through real problems, and you hear a song with some meaning bursting through from between the lines, you grin inwardly and think, now is the time for such a song. And you have the right stash of emotion to back it up. And one need not have followed everything that Alanis recommended.#
