i learned something!
this year wasn't a total waste after all. i was listening to old barenaked ladies this morning, and look what i found! see if you can spot the educationalness.
barenaked ladies--when i fall
i look straight in the window, try not to look below
pretend i'm not up here, try counting sheep'
but the sheep seem to shower off this office tower
nine-point-eight straight down i can't stop my knees
i wish i could fly
from this building
from this wall
and if i should try
would you catch me if i fall?
my hands clench the squeegee, my secular rosary
hang on to your wallet, hang on to your rings
can't look below me, or something might throw me
curse at the windstorms that october brings
i look in the boardroom; a modern pharaoh's tomb
i'd gladly swap places, if they care to dive
they're lined up at the window, peer down into limbo
they're frightened of jumping, in case they survive
i wish i could step from this scaffold
onto soft green pastures, shopping malls, or bed
with my family and my pastor and my grandfather who's
dead
i wish i could fly
from this building
from this wall
and if i should try
would you catch me if i fall?
look straight in the mirror, watch it come clearer
i look like a painter, behind all the grease
but painting's creating, and i'm just erasing
a crystal-clear canvas is my masterpiece
i wish i could fly
from this building
from this wall
and if i should try
would you catch me if i fall?
lookie! nine-point-eight straight down!!! introduction to chemistry, physics, and the environment wasn't a total waste on me. acceleration due to gravity. so THERE.
so this morning i woke up at fecking 8 so i could mow the lawn before it got hot and then i cleaned. and now it's 10:30 and i have no responsibilities for the rest of the day. at 4 i'm sposed to go to a pool party dealy, but i have no ride. so i guess i'll just have to wait till my parents get home from the citay and go late. and i can't reach cathy to tell her. =/
beach tomorrow! i can't wait. *bounces* and then to camp! please write to me. you can get the address at http://www.(insertthenameofmycamphere).org/pages/currentyear/parentscampers.html#mail. so please, people, i want to feel loved. i promise i'll write back. i'll be there starting a week from tomorrow. i get back from the beach thursday and leave for camp friday, so it's possible that i won't update between now and then. i know, it's tragic. so, until august 10th, au revoir!
