Shameless, Ani DiFranco

So today I traded in my Toyota Prius Hybrid for...duh duh duh...the gayest car in the world...the Subaru Outback Legacy. It is awesome and spacious, with heated seats, rear windshield wiper, and anti-skid protection. In light of this I have decided to dedicate the song shameless by ani difranco to myself. I love this song and it very much describes my mood currently. So here's to me and my shameless-ly gay car and my shameless-ly good mood.

ani difranco, shameless lyrics

i cannot name this
i cannot explain this
and i really don't want to
just call me shameless
i can't even slow this down
let alone stop this
and i keep looking around
but i cannot top this

if i had any sense
i guess i'd fear this
i guess i'd keep it down
so no one would hear this
i guess i'd shut my mouth
and rethink a minute
but i can't shut it now
'cuz there's something in it

we're in a room without a door
and i am sure without a doubt
they're gonna wanna know
how we got in here
and they're gonna wanna know
how we plan to get out
we better have a good explanation
for all the fun that we had
'cuz they are coming for us, baby
they are going to be mad
they are going to be mad at us

this is my skeleton
this is the skin it's in
that is, according to light
and gravity
i'll take off my disguise
the mask you met me in
'cuz i got something
for you to see
just gimme your skeleton
give me the skin it's in
yeah baby, this is you
according to me
i never avert my eyes
i never compromise
so nevermind
the poetry

we're in a room without a door...

i gotta cover my butt 'cuz i covet
another man's wife
i got to divide my emotions
between wrong and right
then i get to see how close i can get to it
without giving in
then i get to rub up against it
till i break the skin
rub up against it
till i break the skin

they're gonna be mad at us
they're gonna be mad at me and you
yeah, they're gonna be mad at us
and all the things we wanna do
they're gonna be mad at us
they're gonna be mad at me and you
they're gonna be mad at us
and all the things we want to do

just please don't name this
please don't explain this
just blame it all on me
say i was shameless
say i couldn't slow it down
let alone stop it
and say you just hung around
'cuz you couldn't top it

loves it!!

Dear Elphaba

Dear Elphie,

My little green bubble. We have had many good times together u and i. We have traveled to two different MWMF together, we have driven to Denver many a time, and up and down the mountain canyon. We have seen from Colorado to Washington DC and many stops along the way. We have seen friends, lovers, acquaintances, and people I honestly don't like very much between your walls. We have been through oil changes, and wiper exchanges and that popped tire that one time. There has been the crack in the windshield that has grown so ever bigger. You have made me friends and probably enemies with your outrageously gay stickers for peace, justice, and equality. Sadly I feel our time coming to an end-dwindling and idling by. You see we were once so happy together but now in the days ahead of driving up and down a mountain you are no longer the kind of bubble i need. you see elphie i need reliability, the kind that can only come with four wheel drive, I need a back window wiper for the icy snow days ahead. I need anti- skid protection, and if possible heated seats. I love you elphie my dear bubble with 50 mpg gas mileage and 6 disc cd changer. I love so many things about you, but sadly you are no longer what I need. I wish I could keep you but alas my budget and my heart cannot stand the strain of two relationships fighting for my heart and attention. So I have to say goodbye Elphie you will be missed, you are my baby, my freedom, my pleasure and my love. But it is on to new and different things something like a Subaru Outback wagon perhaps-a girl can dream you know.

Take care Elphie and stay calm like you always do,
Kathryn
