sophie,

i liked the song. i think Tori has earned the right to experiment and let those experiments be released for public consumption, as an artist who has really established herself. I think no less of her for changing styles to suit her life. Because you're right, she's happy, and that changes a lot of things. What I appreciate about her music is how personal it is, or can be. I didn't like "Strange Little Girls" (as a whole) as much as the other albums, but I respect it for what it is - a thoughtful experiment with music and ideas.

I don't really need to miss the old Tori. I have that music recorded for a reason, you know? I'm curious to see what she does next. (And when I want to hear her speak in tongues, I listen and get shivers, remembering things)

anyway.

(sophiegirl, i am so glad to see you again :))
