He’s doing Return to Nuke’Em High, yes. Ha so absurdly amazing.
Another Day, Another Demon
FOMO
No FOMO. At least I got one absurd day in before I got sick. Well technically 2 if you count Wednesday. But crazy Time Warp nights are starting to blend together on this side of the Mason Dixon. I am finding my groove here and it’s bothering me. It’s like dating the fun guy. You know it’s going nowhere, but it’s nice to fill the time and be able to have a tickle fight and argue about flowy shirts unbuttoned to the navel. But in the end you long for more. But you start to think this isn’t so bad, why can’t I just be happy with this. Fuck if I know. Did that have a point? I think the dehydration is setting in from puking for 20hrs. I’m going to get to the bottom of the Sheepsquatch and read way more of this Canadian Rock Wikipedia page than I should.
I think John Prine lyrics are the equivalent of the “I could of done that”. They are so simple, almost nursery rhymish when just glanced at on paper. But as they bounce around in your head they are just woven together with such skill. I still think about Elvis Costello interviewing him when I went to Spectacle. Elvis, disects everything and is over schooled in the art of music. He’s a super fan, I get it, we are all a super fans to someone. Most of us don’t get to interview our obsessions though on the Apollo stage. I know Elvis gets it on some visceral level, but he missed it on such a beautiful and obvious level. It felt like John Prine just trying to find the right way to tell this super fan “I just write what I feel”. I feel like my whole life is just me doing this song and dance out in the world (as I’m sure everyone else in the world is doing, we all feel beleagured!). I just think I might be a little to heart on my sleeve for this world. I wrote my first full song in a long time waking up out of a dead sleep this morning. I feel ready to try my hand at weaving lyrics probably not as well as Mr. Prine, but as I’m learning probably a little to late in life, that shouldn’t keep me from trying.
Long Monday - John Prine
You and me
Sittin’ in the back my memory
Like a honey bee
Buzzin’ ‘round a glass of sweet Chablis
Radio’s on
Windows rolled up
And my mind’s rolled down
Headlights shining
Like silver moons
Rollin’ on the ground
We made love
In everyway love can be made
And we made time
Look like time
Could never fade
Friday Night
We both made the guitar hum
Saturday made Sunday feel
Like it would never come
Gonna be a long Monday
Sittin’ all alone on a mountain
By a river that has no end
Gonna be a long Monday
Stuck like the tick of a clock
That’s come unwound - again
Soul to soul
Heart to heart
And cheek to cheek
Come on baby
Give me a kiss
That’ll last all week
The thought of you leavin’ again
Brings me down
The promise of
Your sweet love
Brings me around
It’s gonna be a long Monday
Sittin’ all alone on a mountain
By a river that has no end
It’s gonna be a long Monday
Stuck like the tick of a clock
That’s come unwound - again
And again
Sittin’ in the back my memory
Like a honey bee
Buzzin’ ‘round a glass of sweet Chablis
Radio’s on
Windows rolled up
And my mind’s rolled down
Headlights shining
Like silver moons
Rollin’ on the ground
We made love
In everyway love can be made
And we made time
Look like time
Could never fade
Friday Night
We both made the guitar hum
Saturday made Sunday feel
Like it would never come
Gonna be a long Monday
Sittin’ all alone on a mountain
By a river that has no end
Gonna be a long Monday
Stuck like the tick of a clock
That’s come unwound - again
Soul to soul
Heart to heart
And cheek to cheek
Come on baby
Give me a kiss
That’ll last all week
The thought of you leavin’ again
Brings me down
The promise of
Your sweet love
Brings me around
It’s gonna be a long Monday
Sittin’ all alone on a mountain
By a river that has no end
It’s gonna be a long Monday
Stuck like the tick of a clock
That’s come unwound - again
And again
printsProjecting Souls Should Not, NOT Be My Thing..
Hey Erin what’s it like dating sociopaths you ask. Funny you ask, shitty. Yup that’s the answer to that. You can’t project and give people depth apparently but you sure can fool yourself amazingly into believing it’s there. New Lesson: It’s not, don’t.
Low Key for a High Note Gal
Gifts given by me this year - Took dad to Handel’s Messiah
Gifts given to me this year - robe, a few nerd games, scarf
What I really got was an actual happy big family Christmas filled with no questions about the direction of my life or tattoos. Told I looked nice, my job sounded awesome, and how witty I was. A few crazy murder intrigue stories and a small loud child’s head getting stuck in the railing. Generally it’s was just good to feel like you’ve finally grown up to the point where you appreciate those around you. I was probably a little late to the game, but better than to never show up at all. I could offer real advice though most of it taken from Dragnet episodes and be a shoulder to lean on. To grow into ones skin comfortably is an experience I never thought I would have. So pretty much as perfect and ideal as I expect a family based holiday in a weird atheist house to be. I am very fortunate to have such wonderful people around
me. 
boo fucking hoo
I will not be losing the life I know ever again. I’m also into whatever this globular piece of crap is.
Bad News Lesbians
My mom’s ideas amaze me sometimes. I was excited to hang out with this group of smart, very nerdy, very similar to me, mostly lesbian group of ladies I met. I was telling my mom just throwing that into the story not thinking it would be noticed or get a reaction. My mom is like Erin, you know I’ve heard you talk about your want for a significant other I don’t think this will help you. Well one wanting a cool dude to share my life with is a “want” not a goal in life. 1. I’m not actively or working towards this and if I was it would be a pretty fucking depressing pool I’m looking at. 2. I don’t think hetero men run from lesbians perhaps they even partake in these cool activities with us. Especially the very as close to not hetero as a straight man can get men that I date. My mom has really seemed concerned about this and keeps bringing it up. It needs to stop, like yesterday. Having my parents in my dating/sex life is beyond annoying. I thought oversharing would work in stopping this, but my mom is started to become use to it!!! WTF. I have no ideas on how to fix this. Dear Prudence??
Drake and I will get through this year!
