Irony: Wedding Bell Blues
or
Hanging Upside Down on the Ladder of Love
September 2, 2000, a day which will live in infamy, BACKSTREET BOYS wise anyway. Today, on my father and step-mother's eleventh wedding anniversary, Backstreet Boy BRIAN LITTRELL wed his long-time love LEIGHANNE, all unconfirmed as of now. Isn't it ironic? The last time September 2 fell on a Saturday, I was participating in my father's wedding ceremony, witnessing him hand over his life to a woman I despised. Today, twelve years later, I await the official announcement that my favorite BACKSTREET BOY has tied the knot.
Have you ever seen the ladders the BACKSTREET BOYS used in their INTO THE MILLENNIUM tour on the song, "DON'T WANT YOU BACK"? I'm hanging upside down by my knees from the second to the top rung, staring out at the fans. Why do I feel so inverted? I dunno. Maybe it's because the only love I am feeling right now is from my cat who is reading this over my shoulder. Maybe it's because my love life, as of late, has been nothing but a bunch of flings. I haven't had a "meaningful" relationship with a man since high school, and even those weren't "long" compared to everyone elses year-plus relationships.
My Senior quote: "Different people come into our lives for different reasons." I just wish I knew what those reasons were. Why did James skip on my pond when he did? Why is Dr. Chris still floating around out there? Why did BRIAN have to fly over and leave his reflection? And why did he bring AJ with him?
