Lyrics 2

Glory Box by Portishead

I'm so tired
Of playing,
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long

Just. . .Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be...A woman.
I just wanna be a woman.

From this time, unchained
We're all looking at a different picture
Through this new frame of mind
A thousand flowers could bloom
Move over, and give us some room,Yeah

Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be...A woman.
I just wanna be a woman.

So don't you stop bein' a man
Just take a little look from our side when you can
Sow a little tenderness
No matter if you cry

Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be here;
A woman.
I just wanna be a woman.
It's all I wanna be is a woman

For this is the beginning of forever and ever
Its time to move over

I'm so tired, of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long

Poem 2

My Dream by Ogden Nash

This is my dream,
It is my own dream,
I dreamt it.
I dreamt that my hair was kempt.
Then I dreamt that my true love unkempt it.

Quote 2

I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak.

Poem 1

For A Poet by Countee Cullen

I have wrapped my dreams in a silken cloth,
And laid them away in a box of gold;
Where long will cling the lips of the moth,
I have wrapped my dreams in a silken cloth;
I hide no hate; I am not even wroth
Who found earth's breath so keen and cold;
I have wrapped my dreams in a silken cloth,
And laid them away in a box of gold.

Lyric 1

Speech is my hammer
Bang the world into shape

- Mos Def from "Hip Hop"

Quote 1

When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.

-Jimi Hendrix

About Me

My photo
I'm the fun, sarcastic, slightly bored and over it woman you saw at the other end of the bar. And yes, I am laughing at you and your friends. I've got a crazy sensitive BS detector, but I still have a beautiful smile. My friends come to me for advice, tough love and attitude to spare. I get along well with most folks, though I'm never quite sure why. There's a good chance I was mocking them just a few moments earlier. I'm over 30 and a voracious traveler, though I love my house to a startling degree. I still play video games, can probably drink you under the table and my family matters more to me than anything. I'm honest, mostly straightforward and hard to know really well. I've been called judgmental, and I'm working hard to not judge the idiots who said that. I learn from my mistakes, but that's no guarantee that I won't repeat them. I am an incredible friend, a decent worker and (apparently) a terrible girlfriend. But you'll love me anyway. Everybody does ... except those who don't.
