Every Journal Has a YOU, a You the Writer Writes To (and you're it this time...)

Goddamit  Ani...  I tried to end a comment to the last entry with a quote from Ani Difranco, but now her words, and her voice, won’t   let    me      go.     The song is Dilate.  Listen to it.

Every song has a you
A you that the singer sings to
And you’re it this time
Baby, you’re it this time

Do you have an “audience” in mind when you update

"I wonder if everything I do, I do instead..."

Why does it seem she has me pegged, and that I do indeed think her songs are about me LOL! My personal favorite:

i do it for the joy it brings
because i'm a joyful girl
because the world owes me nothing
and we owe each other the world
i do it because it's the least i can do
i do it because i learned it from you
i do it just because i want to
because I want to

everything i do is judged
and they mostly get it wrong
but oh well
'cuz the bathroom mirror has not budged
and the woman who lives there can tell
the truth from the stuff that they say
and she looks me in the eye
and says would you prefer the easy way?
no, well o.k. then
don't cry

and i wonder if everything i do
i do instead
of something i want to do more
the question fills my head
i know that there's no grand plan here
this is just the way it goes
and when everything else seems unclear
i guess at least i know

i do it for the joy it brings...

About the audience bit, like we discussed, that's the thing that stifles me on here. Maybe I'll create a super filtered thread just for the writing--like party of one super-filter ;)

*sigh* Joyful Girl. She put out an lp that was just versions of it--"More Joy, Less Shame." If you don't have it, let me know, and I'll either upload it, or burn you a copy.

I did the party-of-one super-filter for you in pics here. I think I only put one or two pics in so far. I'm not a big fan of pics of myself, because like Ani said "i don't take good pictures cuz i have the kind of beauty that moves"

Humm...was there supposed to be a link there for pics? I actually don't have that lp, but it sounds yummy!

"Something I Want to do More?" (question fills my head)

[pr0flupin]

I think if you go to user info, then public images, then open "view" on left, then "recently updated" and there should be pics that (I hope) only you can open. I put them up in response to your previous inquiry about my dangerously mysterious identity ;)

I'll burn you a copy of MJLS. I would upload it, but for some reason (noob?)I'm having trouble figuring out how to get usendit to deal with a whole cd instead of just individual tracks...

No! Red!

But puns are allowed =P

Tee Hee!
