So school is in session...

Yesterday I almost posted lots of swear words and negativity.
It had to do with my first period.

Last night I watched "I Heart Huckabees". Wow it was good. I thought about strange things untill the wee hours.

I have ideas now, and I want to make a short film. Maybe. I felt so inspired last night. I was writing words - real words, the ones that you mean -for the first time since the whole shitty month of March. Possibly the first time all year.

I feel so much better than I have in so long and so short of a time.

Did anyone see the Rainbow on Tuesday? or was it Monday?

Ani DiFranco - Educated Guess
looks like my crazy family
is down one crazy daughter cuz
i'm shipwrecked in a desert that
once was underwater just
looking for a swift turn of phrase
some colors to fly
as i float by
in the parade

plus i dream in skin scented sentences
of a stronger faster fiercer you
and to each noun, verb and predicate
i dedicate a vivid hue
but you ain't done too well
getting past your permanent pastel
have you now?
yes, the desert seemed so promising
and then it paled somehow

so school is in session
get your chin off your desk
now pick up your pencil
and turn over your test
use your education
and take an educated guess
about me

i've got a slot at eye level like
a speakeasy door
and i know you know the password
cuz i've seen you here before
and i've got something sweet for you
and i don't care if it is more than you deserve
i've got a lot of love and a lot of nerve
so watch me while i take this curve

yes school is in session
get your chin off your desk
now pick up your pencil
and turn over your test
use your education
and take an educated guess
about me

plus i have this whole new family
and i'm in love with each of them
and i'm on this list called lucky
whenever i'm in reach of them
and i'm learning how to say
that i'd be happy either way
with your love

i'm calling on the stars above

school is in session
get your chin off your desk
now pick up your pencil
turn over your test
use your education
and take an educated guess
about me
