Lyrics I Love #8

[foxmonkey]

OH MY GOD, Friday. Thank you, anonymous drive-by hugger. I needed that. :-)

I've hit the ground running every day this day at work, so I'm glad it's finally over. My sinuses are killing me, not exactly softly, either, and I've got a sore throat. Waaah!

I've been feeling like I'm going to bawl my eyes out at odd times during the week - and it's not that time of the month, so no. Just feeling weepy from stress and sore throatiness, I suppose. ::cries::

But!

I've had this song on repeat for days. Love it. Love this song. Love the music and the way she sounds. And, from the lyrics, I love this:

The moment I let go of it
Was the moment I got more than I could handle.
The moment I jumped off of it
Was the moment that I touched down.



"Thank U"
by Alanis Morissette

how bout getting off these antibiotics
how bout stopping eating when I'm full up
how bout them transparent dangling carrots
how bout that ever elusive kudo

thank you india
thank you terror
thank you disillusionment
thank you frailty
thank you consequence
thank you thank you silence

how bout me not blaming you for everything
how bout me enjoying the moment for once
how bout how good it feels to finally forgive you
how bout grieving it all one at a time

thank you india
thank you terror
thank you disillusionment
thank you frailty
thank you consequence
thank you thank you silence

the moment I let go of it was the moment
I got more than I could handle
the moment I jumped off of it
was the moment I touched down

how bout no longer being masochistic
how bout remembering your divinity
how bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out
how bout not equating death with stopping

thank you india
thank you providence
thank you disillusionment
thank you nothingness
thank you clarity
thank you thank you silence

Great song. Even better icon. Is it new?

Yes! I've been using it for a week or so. I've said goodbye to pumpkin!head girl for a while. :-)

Isn't it fun? I think it's from a vintage hoseiry ad. I really like the sense of movement. I originally created it for my bag blog, but when I finished I liked it so much I've been using it here. I'm currently using this one for my bag blog; I love it too! Let's see if I can do this correctly. I'll give myself a cookie if I get it right the first time...

Whee! Go me!

Forget the icons. You have a bag blog? Is this your dominatrix leather community or something you run yourself?

HA. HA. HA. ;-) Nope, it's basically livejournal on the Blogger site, except no one responds to my posts and if they do I don't know because I haven't figured out how the notifications work. I R A DOOFUS. Anyway, it's about the girlier aspects of my life, shopping and clothes and BAGS and whatnot. It's been linked on my LJ sidebar for a while now! It's the one that says bag!monkey. 'Cause everything's more fun with monkeys.

If you want to read my blather about looking for the perfect coat (haven't found it yet) and my search for the perfect black bag (haven't found it yet) and my theory on blue (seriously) and, and, and, whatever other fashion- and style-related things pop in my brain, mosey on over. :-D There's pictures of my bags and stuff! No longer will you wonder what I carry to work, because you'll be able to seeeeeeeeeeeee them! Some of them. I take some truly pathetic pictures.

You can't miss it; just look for the blog with blue shoes in the icon. ;-)

I tried to comment right on the blog, but it wanted to use my real name instead of my sn, so alas I must resort to LJ.

** I thought you were totally the leather goods chick until I saw this entry. I am in love with these coats! I would die to wear one on a blustery, cold night, riding along the coast in JC's a Mercedes with the top down.** ;-)

Oooh, which one, the one with the hood and decorative stitching at the cuffs, or the bathrobe-y one (which I *love*)?

You should be able to comment using your name. I think I've turned off anonymous comments because of those idiot spammers.

Yay! That turned out well all around. I've got comments set now so anyone can respond to posts, not just registered users. AND, I found how to turn on email notification! Yay! So feel free to comment in any post because now I'll know. :-D

Now you're going to have to tell me all about blogging. I want one! Will you make me a cool icon if I get one?

I'll make a cool icon as a blog-warming present. :-) What will you blog about? Mine started out bag-oriented and has grown to embrace all the girlie stuff I love.

I realized right after I sent the reply that I'd have to pick something to focus on, wouldn't I? That may take some thought. I really like the idea of it though and I'm definitely intrigued. I started reading this blog during one of the American Idol seasons and then realized that she talked about other things too.

I may need to read Blogging for Dummies. ;-)

I just read about three of her entries. I can see how you got hooked! A friend of mine loves this one:

She's got mad serious cake-baking skillz. Scroll down the page to find the Poo-flinging Monkey cake. Seriously. ;-)
