You could have done any­thing, if you wanted
And all your friends and fam­i­ly think that you’re lucky
But the side of you they’ll nev­er see
Is when you’re left alone with your memories
That hold your life to­geth­er, like glue


 

Spi­der plant, spi­der plant
Slow­ly killing my spi­der plant
Put it in too small a pot
Need to trans­plant be­fore it rots
Look out! I might kill my spi­der plant


 

One of my fa­vorite

Pe­ter Gabriel songs (pos­si­bly my most fa­vorite) is Games With­out Frontiers.

For THE longest time, I thought – at the be­gin­ning of the song – that he was saying, 

She’s so popular …”

It was only un­til I looked up the lyrics that I re­al­ized he was saying, 

Jeux sans fron­tières”

which is French for “games with­out frontiers.”

So one day not too long ago, it came up on my Pan­do­ra list again and Aaron start­ed singing along, saying, 

She’s so popular …”

I ba­si­cal­ly scream-laughed in ex­cite­ment. It’s pos­si­ble he heard me singing it that way at some point in the past be­fore I knew what the lyrics were, but I don’t re­mem­ber do­ing that. 

When I told him, he said, “I could to­tal­ly swear he’s say­ing, ‘She’s so popular.’”

This gets even bet­ter, be­cause when I told my friend Eric this sto­ry, he said, “So wait, what?! He ISN’T say­ing ‘she’s so pop­u­lar’ then?!”


 

If we’re be­ing hon­est, I’m like this.


 

I’m at that age now

where, if I in­jure sev­er­al parts of my body, they get in a car and ap­proach the parts of my body that weren’t in­jured and say, “Get in los­er, we’re go­ing hurting.”
 


 

Now don’t you look good, suck­ing amer­i­can dick?
You’re so sur­prised they like you,
You’re so cute and so quick.
Sin­gin’, I’ve got the moves of a tv queen,
Folk girl hero in a magazine.
Fak­ing the truth in a new pop song,
Don’t you wan­na sing along?


 

Hey you wan­na drink?l”

Yeah!”

*slides craft cock­tail over to me*

That’ll be $13.”
