| For example, I always feel better when I'm wearing a certain piece of clothing. I could be stinky and dirty or I could be an emotional wreck or any combination of the above, but I always feel better when I'm wearing my ZZ Top t-shirt. I don't care if that reveals some of my white trash tendencies, I'm just throwing it out there. And I'm going to wear it today :) Not because I need it, but just because I can | | |
| But this just couldn't wait. I was sitting in Kayla's desk (because mine's got stuff all on it) to write some long overdue thank-you notes and my iTunes was playing Gavin DeGraw when I heard it. I've heard it before, and it's so clear and loud and obvious that I thought that someone else must've noticed it before and blogged about it or something. This time I decided to look it up, and no one in the cyber world had noticed apparently. No one. It's so frustrating so even though I need to be sleeping, I will be the only one on the internet to note this obvious misconception.
In his song "Cheated on Me," it unmistakably sounds like he's saying "I've been dyslexic before." It took me a really long time to realize that it wasn't what he was saying. I just thought he was proclaiming about how he overcame and worked through a disorder. Even after taking it into context I thought he meant it metaphorically---as in he'd been reading the signals she was sending him backwards (as in she's saying "I don't like you" and he's taking it backwards as in "Oh man, she loves me!" that sort of thing). I think I was flipping through the cover art booklet thing before I knew at all that the original, official lyrics are "I've been this lovesick before." I've been unbelieved ever since.
If you want to try me, you can go to your iTunes store and type in "gavin degraw cheated on me" and click the first one to hear the sample. It's in there towards the end. If you're more complicated and don't have/like/care about iTunes, you can follow this link (http://www.last.fm/music/Gavin+DeGraw/_/Cheated+On+Me) and start paying attention at about 1:12.
After I post this I will promptly check and see on Google if I'm the only webpage that references this. I don't care if it's egotistical.
*EDIT* No such luck. I'm gonna take this as a good sign meaning that other people have noticed it, I just can't access their blogs from Google. I feel better now. I'm going to bed.

| I was watching tv the other day (an episode of Seinfeld, I think) and I was welcomed to the jungle. It was a very nice sensation. I laughed a little. And tonight I was reading a Mental Floss magazine and someone in there welcomed me to the jungle. You know, I really appreciate that. When I actually went to the jungle a little over a year ago, no one gave me a formal welcome. I understand that people not from America may not be familiar with Guns N Roses, but it's still polite. I was expecting it. Even some fun and games would be nice. Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na kneeees, kneeeees | | |
| Man, I've been being brought down lately. Is that even correct English? I've got a completely new picture of having the devil sitting on your shoulder, whispering things in your ear. I've been thinking the craziest, most irrational thoughts lately that are so unlike myself. I've been comparing myself to other people and thinking that I'm not worthy. I complained to Charles about this for like an hour yesterday. I'm surprised he still associates with me after that. I've just been...doubting lots of areas in my life, and that's weird. I don't like it. I think I should run away to Africa, but I think that has a lot to do with the fact that I think the entire continent is just like that Toto song. And I also kinda feel like it'll be playing as I step off the plane. It ought to. I love that song. Today Jennifer and I are going to tan on the roof of New Women's. Little does she know that she will be the only one tanning. I'll be merely sitting in the sun. | | |
| Sometimes when I get kinda down, I want to just go home, sit in my backyard, and eat a thousand oranges. | | |
