amy lived next to me freshman year and we bonded over common interest in slightly obscure (at least obscure for northern mn) music. she would come running when i played riki martin - vuelve and joni mitchel - chelsea morning and i loved stopping by her room to check out her latest cd. she was the first person i knew to buy jack johnson and john mayer (before we knew who they were and when they were still $14.99 on amazon). amy is the definition of altruism. she started a mentoring program on campus and is the most genuinely good person i know. amy also has the best laugh you have ever heard - its loud and infectious, it lights up a room, it makes you happy to hear it.
friday night she served up a wonderful dinner of ribs and potatoes to a bunch of us college students (that never get normal meals, cause we either don't have time or are to lazy to make things for ourselves.) we all crowded around the table like a big family at a holiday dinner. it was very comforting (the food and the company). she also has the most grown up looking apartment and furniture of any 20 something i know.
at work today i was (illegally) listening to sarah mclachlin's fumbling towards ecstacy. and as always she and i were talking about music. i commented that i didn't really like this cd when it was given to me a long time ago, but now i love every song on it. she felt the same way!
this has happened to me a couple of times. i don't like a cd at first, but a few years/months later - i am totally into the music style or i can completely relate to the lyrics. maybe sometimes you just have to grow into your music. you have to gain more experience to appreciate it. (or just grow out of pop.)
