You were, you were, you were.

My friends, meet my new teapot.

Ok, so this one isn't actually mine. Mine is much cuter since it's a really good green color and a tad thinner. Anyways, it is my most happiest addition to my I-am-a-real-person-take-me-seriously collection. Also, since last year I have come to truly love herbal teas. The one I am drinking right now is called "tarocco ruby orange." I am just so fancy.
It is so hard not to sing "I'm a little teapot" sometimes.

In other news, I just wrote my second song in a month! This is a big deal for these days! I haven't written this much since high school. And they aren't even angsty songs! This is exciting, people!

Music carries it along

A year from now we'll all be gone
All our friends will move away
And they're goin' to better places
But our friends will be gone away

Nothing is as it has been
And I miss your face like hell
And I guess it's just as well
But I miss your face like hell

Been talkin bout the way things change
And my family lives in a different state
If you don't know what to make of this
Then we will not relate

Rivers and roads
Rivers and roads
Rivers 'til I meet you

You're holding in your hands the two halves of my heart

Wham bam thank you ma'am

"I have been able to be successful, in large part, because my parents were successful. I did something with what I was given, but I was given a huge amount, and to have squandered it would have been criminal. Having done what was expected of me shouldn’t warrant a pat on the back, it was, whether I want to admit it or not, the bare minimum. And to expect someone who wasn’t given a fraction of what I was given to do the same without help is wrong, and it’s senseless.
If you’re a middle class kid, or an upper middle class kid, or a rich kid, you have no right to claim that you got where you got simply because of hard work. You got where you are, at least in part, because of what others did for you, and if you hadn’t been born into a family of people who wanted to and were able to do those things for you, you would have needed someone else to do it."

Fools in love, are there any other kinds of lovers?
Fools in love, is there any other kind of pain?

Tinies

The best part of my job:
When people bring their babies. Especially when they're sending a fax because there's actually time to play with them. Sigh.
