"I don't believe in marriage.
No, I really don't. Let me be clear about that. I think at worst it's a hostile political act, a way for small-minded men to keep women in the house and out of the way, wrapped up in the guise of tradition and conservative religious nonsense. At best, it's a happy delusion - these two people who truly love each other and have no idea how truly miserable they're about to make each other."
Tina Modotti in the movie Frida
Don't tell me not to live, just sit and putter
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade
Don't tell me not to fly, I simply got to
If someone takes a spill, it's me and not you
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade
I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir
I guess I didn't make it
But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection
A freckle on the nose of life's complexion
The Cinderella or the shine apple of its eye
I gotta fly once, I gotta try once,
Only can die once, right, sir?
lets see...me? I am an RN, I live in Saint Paul. I like vegetables. I miss people constantly. I am generally happy with my life. I just got my first real paycheck the other day. I am going to buy new furniture with it. Exciting. I want a kitty to keep me company. I have an iron stomach...nothing makes me nauseated anymore. And I mean NOTHING! I like beer--in particular Grain Belt has become a new favorite. I bake when I am stressed out. Lately I have been baking enough to feed an army. Luckily I have wonderful friends that like to eat my baked goods when I go see them. :)
Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream she said
The one that makes me laugh she said
And threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I’ll run away with you
I’ll run away with you
