I remember way back in the fall of 2005, I had just moved into our first apartment and I used to talk on the phone all of the time with my friend, Joe Wegjet, all of the time! We talked about the most random things all of the time and he used to call me, “‘Fer” and I called him, “‘Seph” because we talked about how people’s names get shortened with the first syllable like us, Jen and Joe. So we decided to call each other by the LAST syllable!

This was back when Columbia Music House was still a thing and I was a member! I told him that U2 my favorite band in the world and I am their number one fan! He asked me if I owned all of their albums. I told him that I did not so he asked me if I really could be their number one fan if I didn’t own all of their albums?! So you know I HAD to order most of them for $0.01. He asked for me back then if there was any album I did NOT like. I answered him very quickly and said, “Pop.” He laughed at my quick answer but I really didn’t like it.

Fast forward to today in 2021 and I have lost contact with ‘Seph and wouldn’t you know that u2 is holding a virtual tour. I have already watched two concerts on my phone at night. One concert was from 1983 but I loved every moment of it! The third leg of the four concert series is:

I was willing to give it a try once I learned the details of the concert:

On my 15th birthday?! My Quinceañera?! I never had one so I thought this would be okay to watch because I LOVE live music and I LOVE BONO!!!

Since we are 16 years from that conversation I had with ‘Seph amd I am so much more physically sensitive now, the reason I didn’t like the album, “Pop” was because it was too, “Techno sounding.” Well, “Techno sounding” translates to having lots of flashing lights which for me is definitely a no-go now.

I am saddened to say that I watched probably 20 minutes of it and had to stop because I was giving me a headache! The concert will be gone from YouTube probably later today if not tomorrow so I will have missed the third leg but I guess I’m okay with that.

There is one song that I really dig from that album though that I learned that I dug it from the best of 1990-2000:

In the little bit of the concert I watched, I did not hear the song but here it is:

It’s the final Friday of Lent and I have watched, Jesus Christ Superstar each Friday! I kind of like this tradition because I love this movie! I don’t think a really saw it until after high school but today I focused on Simon and all of the dancing:

Of course, I still cried at the lepers and Jesus pleading with God in the Garden of Gethsemene:

but, overall, I feel quite contemplative this Lenten season!

Last night, when I put my chapstick on before I went to bed, I felt the plastic edge of the chapstick tube scratching my lips.

I opened a new chapstick today so cue of the drum beat and and I can hear Freddie Mercury!

Yesterday, I had to text Sean even though he was at work and this is what I said;

I watched this show with Sean all of the time! We watched it for a couple years and I got completely invested in the characters!:

I texted Sean which episodes I was watching and I told him about one that Michael is learning how to drive a stick shift and he responded with this:

It was a lot of fun to watch this show on Teen Nock and I couldn’t believe that I was watching in but I really liked it! I also texted Sean that Zoey broke up with James (I never liked him and wanted Chase to come back). As that episode progressed, I realized that was my favorite episode!!!:

I speak every text I send because my hands don’t have the dexterity needed to type but sometimes what I say is not what the text writes. It’s not Cheese, it’s Chase!

Sean texted me that they don’t show that episode very often and I was grateful that I got to see it and the random day that I didn’t watch the news or watch a Hallmark channel movie (which I am watching right now!). So, since seeing that final episode yesterday, I am reminded clearly of our second apartment and that final episode aired on May 2, 2008. I’m thinking about all of the trailers for that final episode and I hear this song in my head;

My internal clock has shifted tremendously! A combination of that and the fact that I am having more difficulty falling to sleep at night these days because #MSsucks!

It was late when I was fully dressed and ready for the day so it seems that my internal clock shift will continue today as well! I was sitting here and thinking about a lyric that I could not think of the song it came from. “Sleep don’t come easy.” That’s the only lyric I could think of. I finally just searched it on YouTube and no wonder I knew this lyric! But I forgot that it came from Mary J!

I am not going through a break up with anyone; but rather, it seems that I am just breaking up with my physical abilities and my capabilities of taking care of myself.

So, I have always wanted to be Irish! I love the accents and I’ve wanted red hair since I was a little girl. Over the years, I would tell people that in my past life I was an Irish dancer and my name was Bridgette. I wanted to say that I am a, “Wanna-be” but I cannot say that without posting a Spice Girls video and that’s not the point of this blog post.

Instead, dI will say that I am a poser because my son’s name is Sean. He was asked if he was Irish and he said that I was just weird. Well, I am but I really wish I could dance like that or speak like that or have gown up around all of that greenery!

Sean was 10 when that movie Brave came out in the movies and he agreed to go with me just because I was so excited to hear even the Scottish accents and I decided that I must have looked like Merida in my past life!

I stopped drinking alcohol about a decade ago because MS and alcohol do not mix but I definitely would like to someday have a Guinness and get a mustache when I drink it to take a picture of myself! But that really won’t happen I think but I can always enjoy Irish music! These songs are in my head today:

I saw U2 perform once and Bono started singing this song but no one was joining in even though I was screaming at the top of my lungs because it’s one of my faves! They didn’t perform this song:

I think of Fairlane mall when I was like 12 when I hear this song:

I saw The Script perform this one; it was their opening song:

I am going to watch Laws of Attraction because it has all of those great things! Dancers with curls, accents, and beautiful scenery!
