I never actually realized

how much the movie "Rent" impacted my love for music. The lyrics to all the songs made me actually listen to the lyrics in the garbage music that played on the radio, when I didn't realize how dirty and stupid the lyrics are. The songs have a great tune and instrumentals and the lyrics make a lot of sense. I know it's a musical, but still. Listening to all the songs again make me go back to when I first watched the movie. In Lake Tahoe with my sisters in the living room of the hotel suite. I was on the couchbedthingy and my sisters were in their separate chairs. I remember when Angel died in the story and I was hiding my tears from my sisters to show that I wasn't a pussy and that I was "hella hard". It's amazing how stupid I was back in 7th and 8th grade. I remember how I stole the Soundtrack from my sister and listening to it nonstop. I still have the cd and I don't think my sister knows. Haha. I miss that movie. I will now illegally download it onto my computer.
