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

Unsingable Name

I want to be your absolute ultimate
Want to be your only one now
Feel the wave come up from your sulkiness
Feel the rays you radiate now

Sweet and plain unsingable name
That rings in my mind now
That strums me like a string
Shine, unsingable name
Over everything

Beware the thrum of hearts in your presence and
Watch the breeze that snaps at you now
All the dogs that bark from the fences and
Everything is wanting for you
Smirk on the face and fists in the clenches and
Make the radiator blow now
Crack the planks and shatter the lenses and
Mix the salt, the sugar and flour

Slushing, sleeting through the blue gloom
Some long bell’s lonely ring
Chime, unsingable name
Over everything

I want to see the mountains in silhouette
Want to split for Singapore now
I want to see the mystery trees
Want to hear the womanly sound

Heh, I think every girl would like to have her name in a song. I know I would. Some lucky girl with a plain name got her wish. Though my curiosity is now peaked to know what her name is. I guess it's not so plain now afterall.

It's a pretty good song too. I haven't updated because I'm really stressing. I've got a lot of work going on right now, and I've been fighting with illness to keep ontop of living. Nyquil is my buddy. Unfortunately I haven't been my most lovely, but I'm counting on a warm heap of forgiveness that'll make everything okay. I trust in it. There's no way I'd be able to get through all this if I didn't think it'd come through for me. Sigh. Anyway, I'm writing to say that I'm alive, and that I've finished my autobiography and read it aloud to 4 other girls in my class, and I feel really good about it. So now that that is out of the way I now have a 5 page research paper I have to write because I lost a piece of paper that would have gotten me out of it. So now I'll be doing at least 10 hours of work, on something that would have only taken an hour and a half had I not lost that paper. =-)

Oh yeah, it hurts. But as I see it, I don't have a fever anymore, so things must be looking up.

sweet and plain, unsingable name.
