About Me

by Megan Freeman............Johnny-I scoured Chumbawamba lyrics to compile a somewhat reasonable "about me" for you. Every word is from a Chumbawamba song, but if you don't want this to be how you present yourself on myspace I understand:M spells man K spells kind I'll do everything I can to try and help. Art or Death. I’m Middle-class, well-spoken, white, and a comedy geek with dynamite down his pants. I hate every pop-star that I ever met. I don’t believe in the good cop. I found a new place to dwell, and I’m quite pristine, not a hair out of place, not a wrinkle, not a crease. I jump because I can. I'm a winner, baby. I am a timebomb. Oh dear, I wish I had wings, and my social diary is always full. I choose to gamble with my life. I’m not alone. When I'm good, I'm very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better. I’m not so brave and I’m not too crazy, if it is to be, it is up to me. I’ve got jobs, and ideas come/ideas go, but sometimes I vomit happy memories and still I’ll never let go. I forget myself but I remember the words, and I’m whipped and brushed from stall to track. I've got armor-piercing rockets in my pocket--watch out! I get knocked down, but I get up again. I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish that in the event of something happening to me, that you would give them these words: It's more fun in the doghouse * Pick a coin, any coin* There's stuff you find along the way, and stuff you leave behind and it all ends up as stuff that you can buy On eBay * What goes around comes around* Freddie Mercury.

what i learned today.

if you spend 7 hours inhaling ink fumes, paint thinner fumes, toner aid fumes, and spray adhesive fumes you get one wicked headache.  the fact that i didn't have much to eat probably didn't help ...
