"Leafs are not animals" -Emma

~I met the Toddler, I met the Toddler, la la la!~
A short brunette! Who woulda thunk The Honeyman (Mr. I love tall-skinny-blondes-with-blue-eyes aka Paris Hilton-the-Chihuahua-on-hind-legs) would be dating a SHORT BRUNETTE. She is SO not what I pictured her to be. La la la. That is HILARIOUS.

I really have nothing to blog. I haven't really done anything much the past few days. Liz and her girls got in town Friday and I slept on Mom & Dad's couch Friday night and will sleep in my bed upstairs tonight. Today I bought some really cute stuff for Hyrum and Ella. (I didn't get anything for Luke 'cause Liz was with me :) )
That's my life. Pretty boring.

So, instead here is some freethought writing (whatever its called...I don't care, its 1:30 in the morning.) :

I miss my OSX, this is crapola!!! It is so slow, la la la. Why the heck am I singing "la la la" at the end of my sentences? That, like the Tootsie Pop licks, is a thing the world may never know, la la la. I am bored out of my freakin' head. I am not tired. If I were tired I wouldn't be having this boredom problem. I just had problems spelling "boredom"...maybe I am tired. Oh well.
I am in a very Duncan Sheik-y mood. Some of you may have never listened to Duncan. Well, heres a lil info: He is a very attractive 30-something Buddhist from Chicago living in New York who doesn't wear underwear (thank TeenPeople for my knowledge of that tidbit of info), graduated from Brown Univeristy, and plays guitar. Deep Ocean opened for him back in like 1997 or something. Clarke got my CD autographed. Then when he came back to SLC a few years ago Clarke got my more recent CD autographed. (It says, "To Susannah, XXX OOO Duncan Sheik") He has two pop-y songs that have gotten a lot of airplay: Barely Breathing and Bite Your Tongue. Most of his songs are soft and weird. A lot have pretty strings in the backround. :) He reminds me of Sarah McLachlin or a less peppy John Mayer. I used to mostly listen to his CDs while in a bubble bath.


My favorite songs of Duncan's are:
*Days Go By
"Days go by
I catch myself smile
More than you'd ever expect
It's been a long while
Since it's been O.K.
To feel this way"

*She Runs Away
"But she runs away
She runs away...
And then you know comes a time
You need her more than anything
You may believe yours are the wounds
That only she can heal
Then everything will turn around
And she becomes so serious
What she chose to offer you
Was all that you could have"

*That Says It All
"That says it all, doesn't it?
We always want what we never get
Well listen hear, my friend
I can't continue to pretend that it's alright
'Cause that ain't right...That ain't right"

*In Between
"Hold the light up to me...get underneath my skin
Humming like the wind
I feel a little undefined...I'm sorry if I seem...
So in between
It's so much better when you run your fingers through my hair
Humming like the air
I wish that I could hold you...I'm sorry if I seem
So in between"

*Alibi
"Let's quit the town just look around
There's nothing here to keep us alive
If they try to run us down
You know I'm on your side
And I want you to be my alibi
So they won't find me
And they won't find you
And we may tell lies
But we may be true
I want to be your alibi...Til the day we die"

*Varying Degrees of Con Artistry
"The illusion is lasting
Such beautiful masking
We all hold it in our arms
It's all just varying degrees of con-artistry
But no one seems alarmed
No one seems alarmed"

and my very favorite for bubblebathing:

*In The Absence of Sun
"For all the good you say it does
It feels no better when you've had your say
You may believe it's just because
The words get colder when you're gone away
I thought I understand
What I was to you
I don't want to feel this way
I don't want to say I'm just a friend
I don't want to wait around here
'Cos you don't want to feel no pain again
We just lie about it
As we become shadows of ourselves
Some may fear committed lives
I sure am one of them without you
Does it come to you as some surprise
I laid the ground beneath to doubt you
Was it ever girl
Something you could hold
I don't want to feel this way
I don't want to say I'm just a friend
I don't want to wait around here
'Cos you don't want to feel no pain again
We just lie about it
As we become shadows of ourselves
I don't want to look away
I don't want to be the one denied
It ain't no fault of mine
Someone, somewhere told you lies
But we don't talk about it
We just become shadows of ourselves

Well, that was pretty dang long. It's past 2:30 a.m., I'm gonna go finish watching "Annie"
