you know that phantom planet song "california"? the one that was featured as the opening to one of our generations finest shows, The OC? God I love that song.
i was listening to it this morning and gosh does it ever conjure up memories of high school...bonfires on the beach, the house i burned down when i was hiding from the police, the time i shot my boyfriend's brother, my brief stint as a lesbian, my old range rover i used to get me from my mansion to school everyday, my trip down to cabo where i od'd on tequila and sleeping pills....ahhh the good times.
or at least it may conjure up such memories if i had gone to high school at an exclusive private school on a sunny californian beach in the wealthy suburbs and if i was a 25 year-old playing a 15 year-old as opposed to a middle-class girl nut-deep in central ontario.
anywho, such a great song for a fantastic show.
