I put it everywhere else. So here's that song about me that Dave Matthews wrote :)
I loooooooove me some good lyrics. They make the world go round. Especially if I'm under the delusion that they're written about me.
Oh look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out onto Grey St.
And she thinks...hey
How did I come to this
I dreamed myself thousand times around the world
But I can't get out of this place
There's an emptiness inside her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together
To grey, and it breaks her heart
Oh how she wishes it was different
She prays to God most every night
And though she swears He doesn't listen
There's still a hope in her He might
She says I pray
But they falls on deaf ears
Am I supposed to take it on myself
To get out of this place
There's a loneliness inside her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
And though it's red blood bleeding from her now,
It feels like cold blue ice in her heart
When all the colors mix together
It's grey, and it breaks her heart
There's a stranger speaks outside her door
Says take what you can from your dreams
Make them real as anything
It will take the work out of the courage
She says please
There's a crazy man creeping that's outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
And the end of the world
Oh there's an emptiness insider her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
And though it's red blood bleeding from her now
It's more like cold blue ice in her heart
She feels like kicking out all the windows
And setting fire to this life
She could change everything about her
Using colors bold and bright
But all the colors mix together
To grey
And it breaks her heart...Oh and it breaks her heart
To grey
She says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out onto Grey St.
And she thinks...hey
How did I come to this
I dreamed myself thousand times around the world
But I can't get out of this place
There's an emptiness inside her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together
To grey, and it breaks her heart
Oh how she wishes it was different
She prays to God most every night
And though she swears He doesn't listen
There's still a hope in her He might
She says I pray
But they falls on deaf ears
Am I supposed to take it on myself
To get out of this place
There's a loneliness inside her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
And though it's red blood bleeding from her now,
It feels like cold blue ice in her heart
When all the colors mix together
It's grey, and it breaks her heart
There's a stranger speaks outside her door
Says take what you can from your dreams
Make them real as anything
It will take the work out of the courage
She says please
There's a crazy man creeping that's outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
And the end of the world
Oh there's an emptiness insider her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
And though it's red blood bleeding from her now
It's more like cold blue ice in her heart
She feels like kicking out all the windows
And setting fire to this life
She could change everything about her
Using colors bold and bright
But all the colors mix together
To grey
And it breaks her heart...Oh and it breaks her heart
To grey
Meet Me in Montauk
I know I've mentioned this movie about three times now in my blog but....I love it. And I've had a couple margaritas today so I'm feeling nostalgic so.....suck it. Let me explain why it's so good: It's Jim Carrey's best performance. Hands down. And I love him but it's the only movie he doesn't overact in. You completely forget you're watching Jim Carrey and instead you just think you're watching some awkward insecure mumbling guy. Which I obviously love. And some scruff and long hair does that guy wonders. Also someone who usually overacts, Kate Winslet comes across as genuinely American and genuinely compulsive (which usually goes hand in hand...mini-epiphany). It's the most realistic love story, teaching us that through all the fights and bullshit and heartache you still want to remember it and you still want to feel it and it's all worth it, just to feel it. Walking out onto the ice, fearing that it might crack, and going all the way out anyways is what life is all about. It also captures the dreamlike state so closely. And the more you watch it the more you understand what the fuck is going on and what the movie is trying to say.
This is one of the last scenes and I'm not a crier but it alwaaaays makes me cry when they re-do their goodbye because they never had one. The movie also has a lot of parallels to my past, right down to Montauk so maybe I'm a little biased and oversensitive to it, but it's soooo well done. I highly recommend it to everyone. But you have to watch it twice. At least. If you're dumb watch it at least 17 times and don't tell me you don't get it cause I'll hate you.

To All The Men I've Loved Before
Sooooo turns out my imaginary boyfriends are my Valentines this year and I'm pretty happy with that. Combine all these peeps and you get the perfect man. You know, I never thought I had a "type" before but apparently I do. Bring on the scruff and the sketchy looking dudes with creative hearts of gold!
On a serious note: I'm thankful for all the actual men I've loved before, the good and bad ones. All different. All necessary. All life changing. The end.

Oh I'm a sentimental sally today :(
Wake up naked drinking coffee
Making plans to change the world
While the world is changing us
It was good good love
You used to laugh under the covers
Maybe not so often now
But the way I used to laugh with you
Was loud and hard
Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you should
It was good as good goes
Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you did
So what to do
With the rest of the day's afternoon hey
Isn't it strange how we change
Everything we did
Did I do all that i should
That I coulda done
Remember we used to dance
And everyone wanted to be
You and me
I want to be too
What day is this
Besides the day you left me
What day is this
Besides the day you went
