Fast Car
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
You see my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way
I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way

Forever and ever amen!
I had a dance social last night. I love dancing. Its not just the fact that I'm moving for the physical pleasure of moving. Its not the music, the lighting, the intimacy of a close dance. Its also the way that I get along with the people there. They are like an extended family.
While I was there I had one of those Bridget Jones moments. You know where she's comparing herself to the 'perfect woman' to her boyfriend? Well I was doing that. I'm not saying that I'm lacking in anything. I quite like myself the way I am. But there are some things that will never change about me.
I will always be a little too short
I will always be fat
I will always be stand-offish
I will always be strong willed and hot tempered
I will always be independant, to the point of frustration
I will always have difficulty letting other people in
I will never tell unless you ask
I will never ask
I will never be a morning person
I will always be waiting. Waiting for the big gesture. Hell, at the moment I am waiting for little gestures too
I will never tell you when I am disappointed, when I need your support
I will always be a little jealous, or her ass, her shoes, her legs, her tan. Of the way you can so easily interact with everyone else.
I'm quite ok with all of this. Its a part of who I am.

I love this!
Think of a letter between A and W.
Repeat it out loud as you scroll down.
Keep going ............................ . .
Don't stop
Think of an animal that begins with that letter.
Repeat it out loud as you scroll down.
Think of either a man's/woman's name that begins with the last letter in the animals name
Almost there........
Now count out the letters in that name on the fingers of the hand you are not using to scroll down.
Take the hand you counted with and hold it out in front of you at face level.
Look at your palm very closely and notice the lines in your hand
Do the lines take the form of the first letter in the persons name?
Of course they fucking dont.......
Now smack yourself in the head, get a life, and quit playing stupid blog games!
Repeat it out loud as you scroll down.
