reading: her journal
listening: You Were Mine by the Dixie Chicks
eating: nothing
aniticipating: IMing Tyler because I noticed he just signed on! (oh, the patheticness of it all)

You wanna know a really awesome song? I just downloaded it and then read the lyrics and fell in love with them. The song is Video by India Arie. Here are the lyrics:

Sometimes I shave my legs and
sometimes I don't
Sometimes I comb my hair and
sometimes I won't
Depend on how the wind blows
I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on
whatever feels good in my soul

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India Aria

When I look in the mirror the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be
And I know our creator didn't make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes; I'm lovin' what I see

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India Aria

Am I less of a lady if I don't wear pantyhose?
My mama said a lady ain't what she wears but, what she knows
But, I've drawn a conclusion, it's all an illusion, confusion's the name of the game
A misconception, a vast deception
Something's gotta change
Don't be offended this is all my opinion
ain't nothing that I'm sayin law
This is a true confession of a life learned lesson I was sent here to share wit y'all
So get in where you fit in go on and shine
Clear your mind, now's the time
Put your salt on the shelf
Go on and love yourself
'Cuz everything's gonna be all right

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I Learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India Aria

Keep your fancy drinks and your
expensive minks
I don't need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive car and your caviar
All I need is my guitar
Keep your Kristal and your pistol
I'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal
Don't need your silicon I prefer my own
What God gave me is just fine

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India Aria

Isn't that awesome. Deosn't it just make you feel so empowered? Well, if you are a female anyway.

I am woman! Hear me roar!

rrrooOOOAAAAAAaaaarrrr

Yeah, it's like that.

So, I'm talking to Tyler and told him that I went to his concert on Thursday night. Wanna know what his reply was? Do ya? Do ya?

"I was hoping you would come."

That made my day.
