current mood: trying to get tired.

current song: edge of seventeen by stevie nicks otherwise known as THE BEST SONG EVER RECORDED

just like the white winged dove
sings a song
sounds like she's singing
ooh ooh ooh

and the days go by
like a strand in the wind
in the web that is my own
i begin again
said to my friend baby
(everything stop)
nothing else mattered

he was no more
(he was no more)
than a baby then
well he seemed broken hearted
something within him
but the moment
that i first laid
eyes on him
all alone on the edge of seventeen

just like the white winged dove
sings a song
sounds like she's singing
ooh ooh ooh

well i went today
maybe i will go again
tomorrow
yeah yeah well the music there
well it was hauntingly
familiar
when i see you doing
what i try to do for me
with their words of a poet
and a voice from a choir
and a melody
nothing else mattered

just like the white winged dove
sings a song
sounds like she's singing
ooh ooh ooh

the clouds never expect it
when it rains
but the sea changes colors
but the sea
does not change
so with the slow graceful flow
of age
i went forth with an age old
desire to please
on the edge of seventeen

just like the white winged dove
sings a song
sounds like she's singing
ooh ooh ooh

well then suddenly
there was no one
left standing in the hall
yeah yeah in a flood of tears
that no one really ever heard fall at all
when i went searching for an answer
up the stairs and down the hall
not to find an answer
just to hear the call
of a night bird singing come away
(come away come away)

just like the white winged dove
sings a song
sounds like she's singing
ooh ooh ooh

well i hear you
(well i hear you)
in the morning
(in the morning)
and i hear you
(and i hear you)
at nightfall
(at nightfall)
sometime to be near you
is to be unable to hear you
my love
i'm a few years older than you
(i'm a few years older than you)

just like the white winged dove
sings a song
sounds like she's singing
ooh ooh ooh

that fucking song...i love it and i hate it at the same time; like most great songs i have some sort of memory attached to it, either ruining it in my mind or securing it a place in my heart forever. this song, however, has many good memories attached to it, which are inadvertently connected to painful childhood memories all their own. it's hard to explain. i can't even sum up.

two thirds through my typing of the lyrics, and halfway through my cigarette my pills kicked in, which is what i'd been waiting on. hopefully i'll get something like six and a half hours of sleep and then wake up on time for work, though knowing me, i'll be late as per usual. i don't know why i can't get a normal sleep pattern established. even when i was working day car, a set schedule, i couldn't. i'll get it going for like three days, and then i'll stay up late because i can't sleep, and here i am again. and then it'll get so fucked up that i'll spend a day taking a series of naps whenever i can squeeze them in until i'm so tired that everything starts to blur together and then i'll go to bed as soon as i get home, and it'll last for three or four more days. i don't understand my body or my mind, and i probably never will. oh well.

i think i might go apply to work in toledo hospital er as a registration girl. a little birdie told me that they'll be hiring soon, and i can work midnights in a hospital there. there's no smoking on the hospital campus, which blows, but maybe it'll help me cut down. and i don't know if i can stand that long, but i'll try. i have to do something...i'm going stir crazy and i'm tired of not having any money. plus, i forgot how much it sucks to be in the service industry, but this bar tending job has quickly reminded me. we hates it. plus, i'm really not making enough money to stay. i do love all the people that i work with, and watching all the queens is pretty hilarious, but it really does kill me to be on my feet that long, and i'm so short that i have a hard time reaching everything. i thought larry was going to pee himself when he saw me hanging out of the beer cooler because i couldn't reach the ones on the bottom.

ok, i'm out. night kids.
