*** Miguel: So what do you think it�s about? Do you think Danny is dying and Mary�s friend is taking care of him while Mary is gone? Me: Uh. That�s not what I got from this song at all. I think that Danny is in love with Mary and Mary has taken off to India to � discover herself or something. So Danny�s left behind and he�s all depressed and then Dido comforts him. Miguel: So Dido steals Mary�s boyfriend? Me: No, not exactly. I don�t get a strong �Bitch stole my man� vibe from this song. I think that Dido picked Danny up, dusted him off and set him back on his feet again. Because of that, they formed this great relationship that isn�t necessarily a romance. They help each other. They heal each other. Miguel: So � when she says �I�m taking care of Danny and Danny�s taking care of me?� Me: I think that could be interpreted any number of ways, but not necessarily an �In your face ho, he�s my ma-an now.� The entire song doesn�t lead you to think that�s how it is � neither does the accompanying music. Perhaps Danny and Dido DO become a couple, but I don�t think it happens during this song. Miguel: I see. ***10 minute silence where we concentrate on our intense game of Solitaire showdown*** Miguel: Mary is mean. Me: LOL. Don�t hate Mary. She just needs to spread her wings. Miguel: But she shouldn�t leave Danny behind. He loves her. Me: I think that sometimes in relationships you have to choose between yourself and the person you�re with. I think sometimes you need to choose yourself. Miguel: But still. I mean. They were living together and everything. Danny had to pack up Mary�s books and letters and things. Me: Yeah. But we don�t even know that it was a happy relationship to begin with. Miguel: That�s true. But Danny really loved her. Me: I know. But just because he loved her doesn�t mean he was good for her. Don�t hate Mary. She did what she had to do. Time to get a tighter hold on reality, no? Listening To: Mary's in India by Dido - obviously. By the way - it's a very pretty song. Reading: Djb's Skin recap. It's like falling in love all over again. Recently Saw: The Bachelor last night. I was hoping that Lee Ann would make it one more round just to keep the drama going, but alas... I was unbelievably disappointed that there were no hysterical fits at the end. I had her pegged to be the most overly dramatic of all of them upon exit - it was pretty anticlimactic when she finally went. My prediction is that it's going to come down to Meredith and Kelly Jo.
