I never realized how long my hair was until this morning. As I leaned over to grab a book I felt something on my arm and almost freaked. I immediately brushed the imaginary life-size spider/roach/bug/monster I thought was on my arm. Turns out it was my hair. Yeah, it's funny now but when your heart's pounding in your chest because you think this bug's gonna eat you alive, well, it's not so funny. So after I caught my breath and let out a sigh of relief I went to the mirror and looked at my hair. It's long! I couldn't believe it. You see, I have it cut in long layers so from the front, the sides framing my face are chin-length. So I dunno, I guess I just always have that length of hair in my own vision. But as I turned to look at the back I realized how long it was. It's halfway down my back. I think it grew even longer since coming back from vacation. Yikes! Hormones baby! Anyway, so now I have this thing where I have to touch my hair every 5 minutes just to prove to myself that it is that long. I'm sick. He he he. And just because I know I'm a sicko is not gonna stop me from taking a picture of my beautiful Crystal Gale locks.
Had me a strange dream. Teeth brushing episode. 3D version. I was in my own mouth inspecting myself as I brushed my teeth. Like I was this little munchkin yelling at myself through my mouth 'now brush over on this spot again cuz you have a piece of tomato stuck in here... here i'll help you push it out'. Disgusting I know but at least I woke up with clean teeth.
Today's musical selection:
Mood Swing
You come and get me when I'm all alone
On the corner, just skin and bones
fever in and fever out
You're the swinger who brings me doubt
lover boy where you comin' from
down there, out back
always on the run
cool, cool deep blues
you're the shine on my shoes
is it in the damp heat inside of me
or is it in the fire that we collide
I feed you mood swing
but you're never satisfied
Mood Swing I can't let you win
you bring me up, you bring me down
Mood Swing I can't give in
to your subtle wiles and your endless miles
You love me now
but you'll hate me soon
In the light of the dark moon
Smiling faces always turn away
you're the kind that likes to play
Your fun and games
take me up and down
with the skill of a circus clown
You see through my truth
I give it up 'cause it's up to you
You stare me down
how you scare me
But my eyes are open wide
and I will rise to fight you
My delight won't be denied
These girls seem to know what it's all about. As weird as it may sound, this song makes me feel a tiny bit sane. That says a lot. Love you Luscious Jackson!!!
