I tried leaving a comment a couple of days ago but it didn't work.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I came across the Surfacing CD of Sarah's this very past weekend in my bedroom, covered in a beautiful layer of dust and it brought back so many memories.<BR/><BR/>I remember a few years ago a commercial in which Sarah McLachlin was holding a young child's hand and Adia was playing in the background. It caused me to tear up and my kids wondered what was wrong with me. Every time they hear Sarah's name mentioned, they bring that up. It's great to have kids, really!!<BR/><BR/>l.court at hotmail.comLizChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01163400684077742607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-30171465242908813832008-10-09T08:28:00.000-07:002008-10-09T08:28:00.000-07:00Sorry, forgot my email address.thenotoriousham at ...Sorry, forgot my email address.<BR/><BR/>thenotoriousham at gmail dot comThe Notorious H.A.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00114918719109642582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-71376149504969205682008-10-09T08:25:00.000-07:002008-10-09T08:25:00.000-07:00I would like a CD, if you happen to select me.Here...I would like a CD, if you happen to select me.<BR/><BR/>Here is my favorite Sarah story:<BR/><BR/>I lived in Vegas for six years, and once I played blackjack with Sarah. At the time, I wasn't totally sure it was her. It was just the two of us on a table at a smaller casino (wow, that part sounds a lot hotter than the actual event), and she was very, very inebriated. I recognized her instantly but it took me awhile to finally ask her if she was "the" Sarah. She said no and said she gets it all the time, but something about it wasn't very convincing. However, every time I looked at her I just couldn't believe how much she looked like Sarah, so a few minutes later I said, "Are you sure you're not Sarah McLachlan?" in a lightly teasing sort of way. She again denied it, but she went on to throw out all of these weird "facts" about Sarah that meant that she couldn't possible be the real Sarah. The only one I can remember well anymore is that she said that she was Canadian, and that Sarah McLachlan was from Ohio - really? Ohio? Now, honestly, what Canadian in 2002 wouldn't know that international singing star Sarah McLachlan was also Canadian? I said, "No, I'm pretty sure she's from Canada," and she just gave me this look that sort of said "yeah, you got me" but could have just been wishful thinking on my part. At any rate, the whole time I was talking to her, the only thing that made me question myself was the sound of this woman's voice. It had a very distinct sound that was not bad or anything, but just not what I would have expected Sarah's speaking voice to sound like. It was slightly accented and hard to describe, but it really stuck out in my mind, and it occurred to me that I had never really heard her speak (just singing and some random shout-outs to the crowd and stuff). A little while later, the woman left the table (a little stumbly, I might add, but kind of adorable at the same time) and joined a couple of guys who also looked just a little bit too wealthy to be at that particular casino. The dealer smiled at me and said, "She sure did look like Sarah McLachlan," and we laughed but I pretty much dismissed the event after telling a few friends about it.<BR/><BR/>A few years later, I was doing laundry and had the TV on in the background. A commercial came on and all of a sudden I heard that woman's voice. I came rushing out of the laundry room, and there was Sarah McLachlan doing that commercial for the ASPCA and I knew it! Finally, after something like five years later I could confirm that I had been right and had in fact played blackjack with Sarah. There was no mistaking that voice, and now I can declare with certainty that drunken Sarah McLachlan is a mediocre blackjack player.The Notorious H.A.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00114918719109642582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-56569694994584989922008-10-09T03:25:00.000-07:002008-10-09T03:25:00.000-07:00Fave SM song would be 'Ol 55' from the soundtrack ...Fave SM song would be 'Ol 55' from the soundtrack 'Boys on the Side' (The THIRD reason lesbians love Sarah?)

All I kept repeating over and over was <I>"Hold on. Hold on to yourself...This is gonna hurt like hell..."</I> And I know it was totally out of context of the meaning of the song, but it was like a calm mantra for me. It helped immensely. I love Sarah even more now.<BR/><BR/>kristy dot k dot pegram at navy dot milAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-76841302087733119842008-10-08T11:24:00.000-07:002008-10-08T11:24:00.000-07:00Oh, wow, a free copy?

So here I am, in the pouring rain at Lilith Fair and listening to a song (pretty sure is was Sarah and not Amy and Emily, totally sure it wasn't the Dixie Chicks!) and realizing that my crazy self needs to tell a good friend that I'm in love with her. Oh, take it back! Take it back! It went soooo badly. Epically, hilariously, you wouldn't even believe it badly! Therapy anyone?<BR/> <BR/>But, Lilith Fair was deeply awesome, both times I got to go. Sad for Sarah that her marriage hasn't lasted, but wishing her all the best.
