Anyone who has known me for any amount of time – or hell, has read this blog long enough – knows I have a MAJOR CRUSH on Nina Persson.
If you've been with me long enough, you may remember the story of the Great Nina Stalking of 2003, when my friend lived in the same apartment building as Nina in Malmö, Sweden. I would peer out the window through the courtyard and say purposefully creepy things like "I SEE SHE'S EATING A SANDWICH IN THE KITCHEN". After which my good friend Mette would yell at me to stop because I was freaking her out and she didn't want to get evicted. SPOILSPORT.
But seriously, I do and always have loved The Cardigans. They have always been willing and quite eager to be different for every project. They haven't gotten enough respect in the US, I say. Because they are really good. I just love Long Gone Before Daylight. I just thought it was a lovely, melancholy album.
ANYWAY. One of David's friends came up to me at this event we decided to go to for an hour to fill some time before we had to work at Double Wide on Saturday (Art Conspiracy – Seed) . I've seen her here and there but we haven't talked much at all. Our conversation went something like this:
T: Sorry I couldn't make your wedding party!
Ash: No problem! Would have loved to see you but whatever! (/smiles)
T: Wow, I love your dimples! You look like Nina Persson!
Ash: /speechless; / stutters;
T leaves after I babble about stalking Nina
Ash: (turning to David) T is my new best friend.
