Curious Incidents of a Flailing Mermaid

Travelling Soldier

Soundtrack to My Life - Track fifteen

In the summer of 2006 I went out with someone who just made me laugh constantly. They were the first person I’d been out with who was exactly my age (everyone else has been older) and we just spent the whole summer doing ridiculous stuff. We partied a lot, drunk and smoked way too much. It was fun.
One night we laughed so much we literally couldn’t sleep – we hadn’t even been drinking that night!

The relationship only lasted until September – which is probably a good thing as we both started Uni that month and think we would’ve distracted each other WAY too much.

For some bizarre reason, we both got really obsessed with the Dixie Chicks (among others) that summer and played certain albums constantly.

Now, whenever I hear track fifteen, I am taken back to the random summer of 2006.
