good news: i don't have strep
bad news: i have a hole and scar tissue on my eardrum

and she takes another step
slowly she opens the door
check that he is sleeping
pick up all the broken glass and furniture on the floor
been up half the night screaming now it's time to get away
pack up the kids in the car
another bruise to try and hide
another alibi to write

another ditch in the road
you keep moving
another stop sign
you keep moving on
and the years go by so fast
wonder how i ever made it through

and there are children to think of
baby's asleep in the backseat
wonder how they'll ever make it through this living nightmare
but the mind is an amazing thing
full of candy dreams and new toys and another cheap hotel
two beds and a coffee machine
but there are groceries to buy
and she knows she'll have to go home

i don't know why i like songs referring to abuse so much... i bought this cd basically for this one song. i also really like shania twain's black eyes, blue tears", everclear's wonderful and father of mine, and tori amos' me and a gun (though i'm not quite sure why...i can't relate too much to this). maybe i listen to them so i don't feel so alone in my experiences. it's kind of wierd...i don't like movies that have any of this in them, but the music seems to help me out alot.

fyi for lu students

if you're planning on moving off campus (and therefore eat at saga less), all of your clothes will quickly become much looser and you might have to buy new ones. so be prepared...

after raving this july (i would give you the link, but of course my archives for that month aren't coming up) about how little i've spent on elektra (not quite a fitting name, but the best i've come up with) since i purchased her, i've now spent ~$1200 on her within the last month. all because she somehow got something other than break fluid in the line. and now she thinks she needs new front breaks... will she ever be satisfied with what she has??

i'm getting used to living off-campus. i really miss the spontaneity of dorm life, but it's so nice to have a place that i (and my roommates) can call my own.

work has been really good the last few weeks. my boss has been in an excellent mood in general and i've also been pretty busy. something i'm realizing is that i would much rather be swamped with stuff to do than not have any extremely urgent tasks to work on. i guess it's because the time goes much faster then (often too fast) and i feel like i'm really needed...

what is this world coming too??


For the first time, ABC will impose a video and audio delay on the annual Oscar telecast, allowing a network censor to bleep any objectionable content, a network official said Wednesday.

...

"We don't want this [the delay] to be a precedent," the academy spokesman said.

He added that the 1974 incident in which a streaker raced across the Oscar stage remains one of the most memorable moments in the history of the event, and said it would be a shame to eliminate that kind of spontaneity.
