i'm back!

home was so much fun. we drove aimlessly in the dark on country roads. we drank whisky with each other, huddling closely next to the bonfire we snuck out to the woods to build. joints were rolled in the denny's parking lot while we played with the stray dog that lives around the local motel. the feeling of slowly freezing earth underneath my shoes and the smell of dying trees was more comforting than i had hoped. as i passed the last lone tree standing in the middle of a brown field on my way back to the city, there was a noticeable pain that leaked into my heart. the city can be fun, but i'll always be a farmer's girl in the end.

oh! and we also saw Tenacious D: Pick of Destiny, which was awesome. Dio was in it!

i'll get to everyone's comments really soon. i'm all tired and shit.

i didn't wrap my head in roses
i didn't run screaming down the street
i didn't drive off jagged cliffs
or dive in roaring seas

i broke no cage door open
i set no horses free
the day the girl at the drive-thru window
softly smiled at me

actually i did nothing
as she handed me a large ice tea
an extra packet of ketchup
a small bag of onion rings

i didn't even smile back at her
just pulled into the street
searching my rear view mirror
to catch her eyes on me

'cause there were cars behind me and i had somewhere else to be

down the street i saw an old man
eating as he drove
running over empty cans
lying in the road

but the billboards near the highway
were full of singing birds
and the trees were blooming green
in their little squares of dirt

every dog chained in every yard
was howling with me
but i didn't even smile back at her
i just pulled into the street

'cause there were cars behind me and i had somewhere else to be
