yay memories

Instead of work, I'm making the perfect Best of R. Kelly mix in my head. And listening to mp3 snippets and fighting with a co-worker about the brilliance of the Keep it in the Closet videos (again).

And remembering the time I kissed the red-haired kid in 9th grade after listening to Kelly's "Sadie". He was a good foot shorter than me.

I think Bump n' Grind rules but I'm gonna have to go real old school and say Dedicated on his 1992 album is my favorite right now. It really makes me nostalgic for the days of drooling over the hockey boys in the neighboring town and riding mopeds that weren't ours all summer long and my first friend who lived on her own at 17 and the elusive secret club we had where we all kissed this one boy who was so dreamy at the time. And he thought none of us knew about the other.

He wooed me by coming over at 10 on a school night asking for the sports section of the paper. I shit you not. Then we'd make out in my room or sit on the roof of the porch outside my bedroom window.
