| 98ee5a2 | At that moment, I knew she was the girl for me. Of course, we'd already been going out for a few weeks, so I wasn't, like, shocked or anything. But still, it's never not nice to to keep realizing. | Rob Sheffield | ||
| 51484f0 | He sang about girls in space-why not? That's where all the cool girls were. (They weren't where I could find them, that was for sure.) | Rob Sheffield | ||
| dd63fd4 | I felt indestructible, or at least undestroyed, more alive than I'd ever been. | Rob Sheffield | ||
| 06974b7 | My ears rang all the way home and I didn't want them to stop. It made me want to start something. | Rob Sheffield | ||
| 44ade12 | For all karaoke freaks around the nation, "Total Eclipse of the Heart" is one of those sacred anthems. It's the kind of song that announces, "Dearly beloved, we have so totally gathered here today." | Rob Sheffield | ||
| 4982cbf | It started off as a playful fantasy we talked about. Then the fantasy became a plan, the way fantasies sometimes do, and the plan became a future. It didn't hit us as the climax of anything, just the celebration of something that had already happened to us. I guess we hoped the celebration would help us understand what had happened. | Rob Sheffield | ||
| b85e91d | But "ma'am" doesn't translate in the North, where it just startles and offends." -- | Rob Sheffield | ||
| 991ca89 | There's only the one, see. When you fall in love with a girl, she's the bloody White Album. That is what you whisper to yourself, when you don't understand her at all. You just keep telling yourself, she's the bloody Beatles White Album and there's only one of her. | beatles girl music | Rob Sheffield | |
| 973d170 | Planet Earth is blue. Blue blue electric blue, that's the color of my room. Put on your red shoes and dance the blues. I never did anything out of the blue. Now my Blue Jean's blue. See these eyes so green, I could stare for a thousand years. See these eyes so red. Oh you've got green eyes, oh you've got blue eyes, oh you've got gray eyes. I'll give you television, I'll give you eyes of blue. I looked in her eyes, they were blue, but nobod.. | on-bowie rob-sheffield | Rob Sheffield | |
| 0eccb9e | But I never stop playing my mixes. Every fan makes them. The times you lived through, the people you shared those times with - nothing brings it all to life like an old mix tape. It does a better job of storing up memories than actual brain tissue can do. Every mix tape tells a story. Put them together, and they add up to the story of a life. | Rob Sheffield | ||

| 89c733e | Being a husband is scary....We have everything to lose. We have made promises. We have given hostages to fortune and challenged fate to a dance-off. We have chosen a future full of loss....when you marry somebody, you are guaranteeing that you will have real problems, a future full of them, the kind that involve death and disease and grief. As husbands, we have *planned* on major anguish. We can't afford to use up all our patience at once, .. | Rob Sheffield | ||
| 60b69b2 | H]e asked Renee, "What does rock and roll have today that it didn't have in the sixties?" Renee said, "Tits," which in retrospect strikes me as not a bad one-word off-the-dome answer at all. The nineties fad for indie rock overlapped precisely with the nineties fad for feminism. The idea of a pop culture that was pro-girl, or even just not anti-girl -- that was a 1990s mainstream dream, rather than a 1980s or 2000s one, and it was real for .. | Rob Sheffield | ||

| 7855767 | You lose a certain kind of innocence when you experience this type of kindness. You lose your right to be a jaded cynic. You can no longer go back through the looking glass and pretend not to know what you know about kindness. It's a defeat, in a way. | Rob Sheffield | ||

| 1cb6228 | It can't be good news," Leif said. "I'd doubt you would brave the weather just to say hello." "You opened the door before I could knock," I said. "You must know something's up." Leif wiped the rain from his face. "I smelled you coming." "Smelled?" "You reek of Lavender. Do you bathe in Mother's perfume or just wash your cloak with it?" he teased. "How mundane. I was thinking of something a little more magical." | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| d775c00 | Behind the candle, Dax's face turned red and he sputtered as if suppressing a cough. A flash seared my eyes as the wick ignited. "That's rude." His outraged expression was comical. "You wanted it lit." "Yeah, but I didn't want to do it for you!" He glanced around the room as if seeking the patience to deal with an unruly child.
