my first blog

And it's only doubts that we're counting
On fingers broken long ago
I read with every broken heart we should become
More adventurous
And if you banish me from your profits
And if I get banished from the kingdom up above
I'd sacrifice money and heaven all for love
Let me be loved, let me be loved

And if my brain quits, well I guess then that's just it
And if my hands stop working you can call me lazy
And if I get pregnant, I guess I'll just have the baby
Let it be loved, let me be loved

I've been trying to nod my head, but it's like I've got a broken neck
Wanting to say I will as my last testament
For me to be saved and you to be brave
We don't have to walk down that aisle
'Cause if marriage ain't enough
Well at least we'll be loved

I felt the wind on my cheek coming down from the east
And thought about how we are all as numerous as leaves on trees
And maybe ours is the cause of all mankind
Give love to make more, try to stay alive

I've been trying to nod my head, but it's like I've got a broken neck
Wanting to say I will as my last testament
For you to be saved and me to be brave
We don't have to walk down that aisle
'Cause if marriage ain't enough
Well at least we'll be loved

My mother is driving me insane tonight. She has come into my room no less than 8 times, looking for something sweet to eat, knowing full well that I'm low-carbing and don't keep sweet stuff around.

She eventually homed in on my boyfriend's marshmallows, ran off with the packet, and then returned an hour later with three of them clutched in her hand, saying she couldn't eat anymore.

a) why the hell can't I just be left in peace?

b) she's the biggest binge-eater ever. How come she couldn't just bloody eat the last three?

c) why would I want three marshmallows, which had been all squashed in her hands?

I'm really counting down the days until 27 July, when I'm moving out!
