Lately

Wow... I was listening to my Alanis Morisette CD at work (Jagged Little Pill- old school!), and I for the first time EVER heard the hidden track "Your House." Holy crap! It's tragic and beautiful AND a capella... gorgeous!

Here are the lyrics (they're a mix of various sites' lyrics; I had to correct some):

I went to your house
Walked up the stairs
Opened your door without ringing the bell
Walked down the hall
Into your room where I could smell you

And I shouldn't be here
Without permission
Shouldn't be here...

Would you forgive me, love, if I dance in your shower?
Would you forgive me, love, if I laid in your bed?
Would you forgive me, love, if I stay all afternoon?

I took off my clothes
Put on your robe
Went through your drawers
And I found your cologne
Went down to the den
Found your CDs
And I played your Joni

And I shouldn't stay long
You might be home soon
Shouldn't stay long...

Would you forgive me, love, if I danced in your shower?
Would you forgive me, love, if I laid in your bed?
Would you forgive me, love, if I stay all afternoon?

I burned your incense
I ran a bath
I noticed a letter that sat on your desk
It said: "Hello, love.
I love you so, love.
Meet me at midnight."

And no, it wasn't my writing
I'd better go soon
It wasn't my writing

So forgive me, love, if I cry in your shower
So forgive me, love, for the salt in your bed
So forgive me, love, if I cry all afternoon

[fin.]

Wow.

On another note, I attended my final smoking cessation class last night. Sigh. I'll miss it quite a bit; I learned SO much each time! Last night's quote of the evening:

"Triggers are tough, man... triggers are tough." -Lila*

(*Name has been changed. "Lila" is trying very hard to quit smoking, and has already cut down to about half of what she's accustomed to smoking.)

That's about it for the time being... Life gets busy now: community band on Monday nights, tutoring on Tuesdays and Thursdays, class on Wednesday nights, and tutoring again on Saturdays for 4 hours. Work's also picking up (thank goodness!!), so that's good news. A busyMb is a happyMb.

Ciao for now!
