Brand New-For the Third Time


[Blog for Today]

So she tries again to have a successful blog. The third time may be the charm.

What does one do in a new blog but begin at the beginning. Welcome to my little space on the INTARWEB where I will tell you lies in order to make you love me. I feel that first, there must be a list. Things imperative for you to know more about me.

[The Top 5 Things To Know About This Blogger]- that are mostly true.

5. I'm not a low-carb dieter because I like bread, a lot.

4. I can't define for you what a "polynomial" actually is, much to the chagrin of my high school math teachers.

3. I will make you a CD if you have in any way impacted my life. It's my way of saying I love something about you.

2. My mother says I always smell like lemons.

1. As a child, my mother used to sing John Denver's "Sunshine On My Shoulder" to me to make me go to sleep. The song still makes me sleepy.


[At This Very Moment While Blogging]

It's 1:50 a.m. on Mar. 5, I'm listening to music from iTunes (just downloaded a new Tori Amos), I'm drinking now-slightly cold Hot Apple Cider. I'm shopping online at Sephora.com and thinking about someone. I'm wearing my two-year old cotton snowman nightgown (for the freaks out there who like to know that kind of information). I visited the doctor today and have a sinus infection. I got two shots. I took cough syrup with codeine, forgetting that it keeps me awake. I can hear my dogs outside, knocking into my deck furniture. There's 20 oz of Petroleum Jelly sitting next to my computer, as I look on clothing websites for an outfit to wear to my job interview on Mar. 23. I was very sad over lunch today and couldn't eat my alfredo. The Petroleum Jelly is for my chapped lips, but 20 oz. is a lot. I have an obsessive personality. I think, if past lives exist, I must have been a lounge singer. I love to sing as loud and obnoxiously as I can.

[THIS BLOG POSTING's SONG LYRICS]

Artist: Liz Phair
Song: Why Can't I

Get a load of me, get a load of you... Walkin' down the street, and I hardly know you... It's just like we were meant to be... Holding hands with you when we're out at night... Got a girlfriend, you say it isn't right... And I've got someone waiting too

What if this is just the beginning... We're already wet, and we're gonna go swimming

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you... Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you... It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it... So tell me... Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

Isn't this the best part of breakin' up... Finding someone else you can't get enough of... Someone who wants to be with you too

It's an itch we know we are gonna scratch... Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch... But wouldn't it be beautiful... Here we go, we're at the beginning... We haven't fucked yet, but my heads spinning

Why can't I breathe whenever ...

High enough for you to make me wonder.... Where it's goin'... High enough for you to pull me under... Somethin's growin' out of this that we can control...Baby I am dyin'

Why can't I breathe whenever...

It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it... So tell me... Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
