From the day
Perspective: The Teenager · Sound
Mary J. Blige is absolutely blasting through my cheap headphones, the bass vibrating against my skull while I wait for the bus in this crisp October air. My little sister won’t shut up about seeing *Monsters, Inc.* this weekend, and seeing her try to act out the "23-19" scene literally made me rofl in the middle of the kitchen. I can hear the distant hum of jet engines from the airport, sounding way more sketchy and heavy than they used to just a month ago. I just ignore it, clicking the scroll wheel on my brand-new iPod and drowning out the world with a click-clack beat.
