'Destiny'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
the all-time sing-along favorite of Someday They'll Figure Out You're a Big Fake (You're Not That Smart)
I have the original copy of that! On 45!
It's my most-played (constantly running, actually) tape, outside of ones that have to do with parenting. My old boss/mentor used to call it the fear of Being Found Out, and he pegged me as scared of it from the minute we met.
I know those tunes, Jilli! Along with All Your Friends Think You're A Failure But Are Too Nice To Tell You and The Reason You Look Ugly In Photos Is Because You Are Ugly and You Will Be Broke And Renting Until The Day You Die
We will not discuss the huge, HUGE issues I have with The Velveteen Rabbit.
I'm right there with you.
You Will Be Broke And Renting Until The Day You Die
I have that one, too!
We need to make a ginormous mix CD -- and then have a ritual stomping/burning ceremony.
You Will Be Broke And Renting Until The Day You Die
And the b-side You'll Be Too Broke To Rent and Die In A Box Under An Over-pass
Rather than the Velveteen Rabbit, I seem to have a Velveteen Cat, except he's already Real--I think. He breathes and meows and follows me around, but he's also wearing off his fur in patches and he looks Very Loved.
You Will Be Broke And Renting Until The Day You Die
I know that one and the B side: Why Didn't You Buy A Condo When You Were Younger and They Were Cheap Instead Of Wasting Your Money?
We will not discuss the huge, HUGE issues I have with The Velveteen Rabbit.
Once, while we were in B&N or Borders, Pete found a gorgeously illustrated kid's book with a very cute bunny on the cover. He showed it to me, and then became very alarmed when I started tearing up.
"What?! It's a cute bunny! I thought you'd like to see it."
"It's the Velveteen Rabbit! It's the saddest book in the universe! Haven't you ever read it?"
"No."
I tried to explain the story to him, and he had me stop because I was about to burst into tears.
The Reason You Look Ugly In Photos Is Because You Are Ugly
Oh, I know that one too.
The Reason You Look Ugly In Photos Is Because You Are Ugly
With the chorus What, you didn't know you were that fat?
All Your Friends Think You're A Failure But Are Too Nice To Tell You
Oh, god. That's a BIG one here. BIG.
I have been using "good enough" to get me through my school panic this time around, with the occasional, "not good enough but at least it is done". I will be using "good enough" for dinner tonight, because there is no way it will be perfect.
