You should see the Other Guy...

I will never do anything bad ever again.

Just please let me pass that test.

I swear. I'll skip to the nunnery. Not a protest. I probably should head there anyway.

The conclave starts on my birthday. Coincidence? I think not.

I didn't wake up. I was late to my drug test. There was an amusing moment of me getting a cab and getting to say,

"I need to get to Broadway and Wall Street. And step on it!"

If that moment isn't New York, I don't know what is.

I didn't believe him until I smelled myself and I smelled like us. God. Damnit.

I'm such a fuck-up.

[throws up at desk, gets to work, skips to nunnery]

a low riding junkie girl
rode down south to your little world like a dream
you can do it if you want to
you can do it if you want to
you can do it if you want to be like me
i wouldn't need a hero if i wasn't such a zero
if i wasn't such a zero
good to go
all i ever see around here is things of hers that you left lying around
it's all i ever see around here
she kicked new york like a curse
and you traced her footsteps in reverse up to queens
you can do it if you want to
you can do it if you want to
you can do it if you want to be like me
i wouldn't need a hero if i wasn't such a zero
if i wasn't such a zero
good to go
all i ever see around here is things of hers that you left lying around
it's all i ever see around here
some empty envelopes from some other town
it's all i ever see around here
i'm waiting for something that's not coming

shame on you abby: you can't ask. it's the fractured mirror of the story that makes it stay crunchy in milk.

I got to work 2 hours late, I'm sure I smelled like booze, I know I was still drunk and I've been playing catch-up since then with the worst hangover ever.

I'll fill in the blanks tomorrow.

Ahh! I love that song. I can teach you the chords for it if you want. It's easy even if you don't play guitar.
