why on earth did it take me this long to discover the dresden dolls?

"so you dont want to hear about my good song?
and you dont want to hear about how i am getting on
with all the things that i can get done
the sun is in the sky & i am by my lonesome
so you don't want to hear about my good day?
you have better things to do than to hear me say

god its been a lovely day! everything is going my way
i took out the trash today and i'm on fire...

so you don't want to hear about my good friends?
you dont have the guts to take the truth or consequence
success is in the eye of the beholder
and its looking even better over your cold shoulder

i'm not suggesting you up and line me up for questioning
but jesus think about the bridges you are burning
and i'm betting
that even though you knew it from the start
you'd rather be a bitch than be an ordinary broken heart

so go ahead and talk about your bad day...
i want all the details of the pain and misery
that you are inflicting on the others
i consider them my sisters and i'd like their numbers

god its been a lovely day! everything is going my way
i took up croquet today and i'm on fire

i picked up the pieces of my broken ego
i have finally made my peace as far as you and me go
but i'd love to have you up to see the place
& i'd like to do more than survive i'd like to rub it in your face.....

hey! its been a lovely day! everything is going my way
i had so much fun today and i'm on fire
god it's been a lovely day everything's been going my way
ever since you went away hey i'm on fire.....
i'm on fire...
i'm on fire...
so you dont want to hear about my good day?"

I actually am having a relatively good day. I'm wide awake, I've eaten lunch, I've gotten all the work that's due today done, I have plans to hang out with folks tonight and do something more interesting than the Anniversary Party, I was down another two pounds this morning, and about the only bad thing is that my arm hurts from yesterday's tetanus shot. If that's the only bad thing, I can handle that.

I'm a big fan of the song lj-cut above. Kind of how I feel about certain people - have felt for a long time, going back to the Idiot in 2004 and maybe farther than that too. It's just a sense of, hey, you know what? You got your time to rip me down. And now look at me - I'm better and stronger without you than I ever could have been with you. And you don't get another chance.

It just makes me want to laugh. Not even like a mocking or vengeful laugh. Just...giggle with glee, you know? Because the world is frickin awesome. Really, truly, it is.
