In Memory of Cassandra

Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man Don't sit around gossiping, explaining what your good man really can do Some women nowadays, Lord they ain't no good They will laugh in your face, Then try to steal your man from you Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man Don't be no fool

Clumsy

Throw away the radio
Suitcase keeps you awake
Hide the telephone, the telephone
Telephone, in case you realize
That some days your just not ok
You'll level off, you'll level off, you'll level off
And its not alright now
You need to understand
Theres nothing strange about this
You need to know your friends
You need to know that

I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown
Watching you scream
Quiet or loud

And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need, a friend
As clumsy as you've been
Theres no one laughing
You will be safe in here
You will be safe in here

Throw away this very old shoelace
It tripped you again
Try and shrug it off, shrug it off, shrug it off
Its only skin
Now you need to understand
Theres nothing fake about this
You need to let me in

Watching you and
I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown
Watching you scream
No ones around

And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need, a friend
As clumsy as you've been
Theres no one laughing
You will be safe in here
You will be safe in

I will be waving my hand
Watching you drown
Watching you scream
Quiet or loud

And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need, a friend
As clumsy as you've been
Theres no one laughing
You will be safe in here
You will be safe in here
Well you will be safe in here
In here
In here
In here
In here
In here
In here

SHAKE IT LIKE A POLAR BEAR'S IN IT!

So much music, but at the moment, none of it is exactly right. Probably the only song that is right is Under Cover by pete yorn. The reason for this is quite simple; I'm human. Not only am I human, but I'm one struggling to be a woman...which I assure you is no simple feat.

In the wake of what I have been told was a successful party, I can't get past the pre-party scenes of me- stressed that no one was going to come, picking petty fights with the one person who loves me more than I can understand.

polaroids testify to the good feeling, induced by company and laughs and the alcoholic deflowering of one crazy fella.

"it tastes like dimetap"
"i could drive right now"
"who leaves a hammer out around drunk people!"
"i want you to know, I respect your house"

8:45 -- the garage: me on the verge of tears because i can't fit all the coke cans into the fridge.. lizardman and pizza hut to the rescue

9:10 -- my room: me on the verge of screaming because i've decided both outfits i picked out were so completely wrong that I'm retarded...lizardman kisses and cryptic compliments to the rescue

later on during the night:::::

me: "where would I be without you?"
joe: "probably, in the garage"

hehe so true.

and she won't sleep better alone
and you won't feel better alone
no they won't feel better alone

a big thank you to all who came last night...
and respected my house. ;-)
