if i ruled the world

every day would be friday

it would be perpetual spring and fall
everyone would be nocturnal every other day
people would be so open minded
animals would talk
all the flowers would have very extra special powers*
my theme song would be "chinese" by lily allen
i would be a famous poet
missbehave would still be a magazine
bookstores would be open 24/7
there would be no commercials
taylor swift would be my best friend
everyone would have a puppy or kitty to care for
facebook would not be an addiction
drugs and alcohol wouldnt exist
art would be all around us
we could text just by thinking of what to say
there would be a way to prove whether or no there is a god
people would be honored to have a black president
i would have met you sooner.
people wouldnt be allowed to lie
houses would be made of candy
people would sing "Him" in church
depression wouldnt exist
mothers would love their daughters
i would have a rollercoaster in my yard
there would be world peace
people would tip fairly at friendly's
good people would not be punished while bad people escaped
rape, war and murder would not exist
ps i love you would be a required movie to watch
falling in love would never hurt...

everyone's at it... by lily allen.

I don’t know much but I know this for curtain
And that is the sun poking its head round the curtain
Now please can we leave?
I’d like to go to bed now
It’s not just the sun that is hurting my head now
I’m not trying to say that I’m smelling of roses
But when will we tire of putting shit up our noses 
I don’t like staying up, staying up past the sunlight
It’s meant to be fun and it just doesn’t feel right

(Chorus)
Why can’t we all, all just be honest?
Admit to ourselves that everyone’s on it
From grown politicians to young adolescence
Prescribing themselves anti depressants 
Now how can we start to tackle the problem?
If you don’t put your hands up and admit that your on it
Now the kids are in danger, they’re all getting hammered 
From what I can see everyone’s at it
Everyone’s at it
Everyone’s at it
Everyone’s at it 

i get involved but I’m not advocating
got an opinion, yea your well off the slating
so you’ve got a prescription, yea that makes it legal
finding excuses, is well over whelming with people
you go to the doctor and you need pills for sleeping
if you can convince him then I guess that’s not cheating
see you’re daughters depressed, so get her straight on the Prozac
but little do you know that she already takes crack

(Chorus X2)
Why can’t we all, all just be honest?
Admit to ourselves that everyone’s on it
From grown politicians to young adolescence
Prescribing themselves anti depressants
Now how can we start to tackle the problem?
If you don’t put your hands up and admit that you’re on it
Now the kids are in danger, they’re all getting hammered 
From what I can see everyone’s at it
Everyone’s at it
Everyone’s at it
Everyone’s at it 

something i was working on last night

Excuse me my love, well I don’t mean to ramble

But what should one do when her life is in shambles?

It took so long to realize that the spark I felt was fire under my own feet

And no one knows how I’ve been feeling; it’s safe to say I am barely dealing

 

Rub a dub dub, my brain’s in the tub and I am a messy ball of mush

Pride is a stinker and love is a liar and I am convinced my own pants are on fire

And candy is sick’ning and flowers are wilting, the axis is broken and my world is tilting

Breathing you in is a terrible smell like swans and chocolate burning in hell

 

Somebody told me to smile and nod but I just can’t do it; it just isn’t right

I’m not that type of girl, nothing can make me turn off the tornado

This is how it feels when loving someone is so easy and so rough for

They will not love you back enough to ever make you smile 

things to do when you're bored:

*go to the book store

*read
*write songs
*take goofy pictures
*practice another language
*read blogs :)
*write someone a letter
*do something artsy
*do something nice for someone else
*take some downtime for yourself
*go through your closet to put together some clothes for donating
*meet someone for lunch
*go for a walk
*watch a movie
*find an extra shift at work
*imagine

the other day...

why i love not driving...

1. i love the scents, sights and sounds of nature... the rippling of grass, the ripe colors of flowers and "weeds", and the scent of the changing of the seasons

2. i can rock out to my ipod and i don't mind who's watching because i am a girl on a mission.
3. i don't have to pay for gas, car insurance, etc.
4. i can splurge while eating sometimes because i know i'm likely to walk it off.
5. i get sun and my body feels good after a walk
6. i can take pictures of the beautiful things i pass and i can get distracted by my thoughts
7. no road rage!
8. i'm not pumping pollutants into the air

DEAR SARAH MORRISON.

DEAR SARAH,


YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION. I HAVE A PICTURE OF YOU ON MY WALL. I LOVE THE WAY YOU WRITE, THE WAY YOU TALK, AND YOUR PUBLIC PERSONA. IT IS TOO BAD THAT YOU AND MISSBEHAVE HAVE PARTED WAYS AND THAT SAMANTHA MOELLER DECIDED TO CEASE PAPER PUBLICATION. I MISS THE MAGAZINE MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW. PLEASE CONTINUE TO WRITE ABOUT YOURSELF AND ALL OF THE ANTICS YOU AND OLIVIA PULL. I WILL READ TIL I AM BLIND.
MUCH LOVE!

increase your karma :)

1. every 6 months or so go through your closet and donate gently used clothes, shoes, blankets, bags, etc. You may have all you need, but others could use a little help.

2. start buying items that can be recycled or won't sit in a landfill for 100 years.
3. recycle! develop a better system! it's not hard once it's second nature.
4. become a vegetarian! or at least eat healthier. the more we put bad substances into our body, the more we hurt ourselves and the enviornment
5. say no to paper and plastic. use canvas bags to transport things to and from the store.
6. stop buying bottled water. invest in a britta filter and a refillable bottle. in the long run, you'll save money and the earth :)
7. plant a tree! or a flower!
8. adopt a puppy or kitten from the shelter rather than buy a purebreed. by adopting you are saving a life!
9. celebrate earthday april 22!!!!!

zine queen<3

so i have been playing around with the idea of starting a zine for like, um, 3 years? anyway... i'm trying to decide on a theme for the first issue. any ideas?

ok so i admit, i love the fresh smell and feel of a glossy new magazine in the mail. but one by one all of my favorites are going digital... while i hate it, at least it reduces the carbon footprint! how do you reduce yours?
