will you hold me sacred? / will you hold me tight?
that's some sistas if you are wondering. so beautiful. (can you tell i've had some down time at work waiting for things?)
"show a little faith, there's magic in the night" has been stuck in my head alllllllll day. more than that, basically the song has been stuck in my head off and on since friday night when steve proclaimed that thunder road is the best rock and roll love ballad ever. i don't know. i am pretty partial to meatloaf's i'll do anything for love. oh, oh, and don't forget (but i won't do that). the weirdest thing is that when i was all into that song, i was also all into a fabulous book. the book's story and the song are all intertwined in my memory. i think that it might be one of those cases where the sum of the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. actually, i started reading that book again last week before i went to the library. it is a freaky book and just starting it brought back all the memories of freakiness.
so, i tell myself, i should tell you want the book is called. first i must explain that i was in early high school (if not jr high - probably in 1993 the publication date of this book) and was all about the teenage horror genre. i was all into christopher pike. he wrote some adult horror novels also. this book was his second or something. the book is called seasons of passage. anyways, the book was good. is good. i still have memories of the feelings it brought. 10 years later. now that is a good book.
this tangent also reminds me of the waldenbooks bookstore in the hot springs mall. it was my main supplier of books through my jr high days. i remember how much of treat it was to go with my dad to the bookstore and get two books. i loved the smell of that bookstore. that bookstore saw the transition of my reading habits from the back teen fiction section to front adult fiction (dude, that sounds dirty). i laugh at some of the trash i use to read (ie v.c. andrews), but i read. i read almost anything i could get my hands on. i also had this huge crush on this guy who worked at the store for a little bit. it was during my ann rice phase. we would talk ann rice. i remember thinking he was so dreamy. this was also during my blond stage. he did have longish hair - a stage i never really grew out of. ; )
