my valentine from vivanlives.com.. a madlib. =) i think it's awesome.
You're walking home, feet dragging a bit, another single gal v-day is upon you. Suddenly a black, souped up Mercedes Benz G500 pulls up, the tinted passenger window rolls down and there's Brad Pitt giving you his most Oscar winning smile. 'I know it's last minute', he says, 'But I've been dying to meet you. Do you have any plans for tonight?' First you're sure he's talking to some genetically enhanced super babe behind you but then you realize its all about you. Plans? you say to yourself. Yeah. Videos and takeout . 'I think I'm available' you respond, as nonchalantly as humanly possible.
Quickly you run inside and throw on a slinky black dress as your friends look on in shock and you climb into the Mercedes. You head to the airport where his private jet is waiting to fly you off to The Atlantis in the Caribbean. Once there, Brad Pitt looks at you with love (or is that lust?) in his eyes, 'I hope you're hungry', he says. An awaiting limo escorts you to a romantic restaurant where you dine on steamy edimame, spicy tuna rolls and hot tender tempura and sip away at chilly pina coladas. Afterwards, your belly full, you head out for some shopping. And later? Back to the hotel, where Norah Jones is playing in the background, you settle in and indulge in a little snuggling. The next morning Brad Pitt turns to you and says, 'This was everything I hoped it would be and more,' then he presents you with breakfast in bed. 'Can I see you again?' S-w-e-e-t!
jasmine's 2/9/03 manifesto for life:
i am not crazy. i am my own woman. i dont need a man to give me comfort. i dont need a man to make me happy. i am my own happiness. i have my own life, my own schedule. maybe you should fit yourself to my time for once. i will not drop everything for you. i am important. i am significant. i am special. i am beautiful. i am not crazy. my emotions bring me color. my feelings bring me life. i am my own woman. i can let go when i please. i am empowered. i choose not to sit around and wait for your call. i choose not to be unhappy when you look at me like i'm crazy. i will not totally erase all my concerns with one kiss. i will remember why i loved you in the first place. i am my own woman. i will try not to be too picky about the little things. if i dont get support from you, i will seek support elsewhere. i know i am loved. i know that people care. i am not a convenience. i will not be upset. i have better things to do. i dont like being alone in my room, but i crave alone time sometimes. as of right now, i choose to step back. i choose to let whatever happen. i will not let my control freak tendencies control me. i'm tired of instigating. i'm tired of waiting around for you to have time for me. i have better things to do. if things are not the way i want them be, i have the strength to say goodbye. i need to be appreciated. i need to be needed. i want to be wanted. i want to be loved because you love me, not because i love you. i need to be told that you love me. i need to conversate. my life is exciting and multifaceted, i need someone who is interested in me. i choose not complain and whine about you. i am stepping back. you can do as you please. i will not instigate. it's funny that you fell in love with me when i decided to ignore you. i am ignoring you now. for once, i dont have time for you. not this week. i put my life ahead of you for once. my priorities have changed. i am bitter and i hate it. i am my own woman. i dont need a man to know that i am loved...
"Unwell"
All day staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on
Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown
And I don't know why
[Chorus]
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be...me
I'm talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
And I know, I know they've all been talking about me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow I've lost my mind
[Chorus]
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
I've been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away
[Chorus]
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Yeah, how I used to be
How I used to be
Well, I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be
I'm just a little unwell
... damn mood swings. damn it all.
"Don't Let Me Down"- No Doubt
Laughing so hard
I got tears in my eyes
Walk in the park
Under sapphire skies
Oh, I can't believe that you're still around
Almost forgot how you let me down
Crying so deep
That I think I might die
Your mistakes I keep in the back of my mind
So hard to let go but I'm comin' round
The scars are still fragile
Don't let me down
[CHORUS:]
So don't blow it
No not a little bit
Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it
Don't blow it
Even a little bit
Cause now you're all mine
Don't you forget it
[Don't let me down X3]
Time after time
It's just too much to take
I've waited so long
Just to get to this place
And finally it feels like
The lost was found
You got me filled up now
Don't let me down
(Don't let me down)
[CHORUS x2]
(Don't let me down)
[CHORUS x2]
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't Let Me Down
