Journey to the Past (or Happy Epiphany Day!)

Ladies and Gentlemen,
It's time for a history lesson. You FINALLY get to learn what my fascination is with the word 'epiphany.'

We go to Columbus twice each year - once in May, and once in October. And when I say 'we,' I mean my three BFFLTs (best friends for long time), Rachel's parents, their dog, and one big-ass RV. Anyway, we were coming home from our May trip two years ago and we were jamming to tunes on Manda's iPod. It is ridiculously difficult to find a song that all four of us can agree on, and so we were listening to Vanessa Carlton's 'White Houses.'

Enjoy.
So...lyrics?
"My first time, hard to explain
Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain
On a cloudy day, it's more common than you think
He's my first mistake"

Yes, that is what you think it's about. Manda passed me a note on a napkin.
"OH. I get it. This is about her losing her virginity, isn't it?"
"Wow. What an epiphany. Yes, Manda. Yes it is." I wrote back.
"I was convinced epiphany was a synonym for orgasm for a really long time and I was always really confused when I heard you or Wuh use it." was her response.

At that point, I just busted up laughing and shared the with the other two.
And so now, for us at least, and everybody we've told this story to, epiphany really IS a synonym for orgasm.

Yeeeeah. And today is Epiphany Day, which I think is something a religious that I'm still a little hazy on. But it is Epiphany Day nonetheless, and we celebrate it. Just because it's Epiphany Day.

Think what you will. But don't judge. :)
