Nostalgia

1. I'm not really sure what nostalgia is at all.
2. The first things I think of are two movies: Grease and Back to the Future. Not really sure why I think of Back to the Future, but probably because of the scenes where they have the dance and start playing different types of music. Then, it makes me think of Grease where they have the dance contest and Danny and Sandy are together. Then, listening to the song even more, I remembered that my grandpa made me a CD a long time ago of old songs with this one on it.
-- (New song) This song reminds me of my mom for some reason. I think of her when I was little in her big sweaters and she listened to this kind of stuff sometimes, too. I think of Patsy Cline, and I would always put Patsy Cline and my mom together because there was an album cover with Patsy Cline on it that resembled my mother. Again, this song reminds me of my mom.
3. A lot of people say that they miss their childhood, but really, I don't. I really didn't like elementary school and my childhood. There was nothing wrong, really, but that was my complete awkward stage. I was the nerdy, 'big' girl, and I was never the kid to play house, or with dolls, or play outside or anything. So when I think of my childhood, I guess I think of being at my grandparents' house on the weekends sometimes and getting ready for bed with my brothers and sister. They'd always take us out to eat or go do fun things, and that's what I remember a lot of. Also, it reminds me of the pool in the summer. When we were little, we would go to the YMCA pool every day with our family friends for the entire day. My mom would pack lunches and we'd have 15 chairs or so saved for all of our friends.
