Sarah, 'Surfacing' was one of the first CDs I ever bought when I was younger and I used to listen to it all the time (probably around when I was in middle school). I told my friends this recently and they all made fun of me. Now when the ASPCA commercials come on they poke fun at me.

Can you reply and leave a message saying it's not a weird thing for a 12 year old boy to listen to Sarah McLachlan all the time? That way I can show them some proof that I wasn't a huge weirdo. Thanks!

Absolutely. I think it's wonderful you were listening to my music, and they're not really your friends if they can't support your musical tastes.

Tell 'em fuck off from me. :)
