me
So, how was your day?

Oh, me? I just spent most of the day cooped up in my room listening to the radio, hanging up some pictures/posters, and reading Harry Potter.

In fact, I heard this one song three different times today. (That tells you exactly how long I was in my room listening the radio, hanging up pictures/poster, and reading Harry Potter. GOD, I need a life.) I never heard it before. It was something about this guy's chick who moved away to Cleveland, Ohio and how he wants her to come back to Texas. It was really cute and I loved it because it was catchy and so dumb. I kept wondering who sang it, but the third time the played it, they finally said that it was "Ohio" by Bowling for Soup.

I wasn't surprised. Bowling for Soup always has the most awesome corny, yet totally relatable songs. I love them. I mean, how rad is the first verse of "Almost"? Yeah, you know you sing along to "slut with much bigger breastes" everytime you hear it. And exactly, for how many days straight did you have the chorus of "1985" stuck in your head? "Girl All the Bad Guys Want" cracks me up. "I can't grow a mustache, I ain't got no season pass...All I gots a mooooooopeeeeeeeeed!" Awe. Some.

God, I need their CD(s). Well, HEY! Look at that! Tomorrow is my Five-Months-And-Sixteen-Days-Until-My-Birthday Day! YAY! I will be expecting my presents in the mail ASAP.


she said she needed a break
a little time to think
but then she went to Cleveland
with some guy named Leelan
that she met at the bank

there's nothing wrong with Ohio
except the snow and the rain
I really like Drew Carey
and I'd love to see the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame

so when your done doing whatever
and when your thru doing whoever
you know Denton County will be right here waiting for you....

come back to Texas
it's just not the same since you went away
before you lose your accent
and forget all about the Lonestar State
there's a seat for you at the rodeo
and I've got every slow dance saved
besides the mexican food sux north of here anyway

I think I made a mistake
its not that easy to take
she went to make a deposit
then she cleaned out her closet
guess I'll sit here and wait

for her to come back home (I'd wish you come back home)
it shouldn't take very long (so long so long)
i bet she misses the sunrise
and misses the fruit flies but i could be wrong

so when your done doing whatever
and when your thru doing whoever
you know Denton County will be right here waiting for you....

come back to Texas
its just not the same since you went away
I bet you missed your exit
and drove right on thru the Lone Star State
there's a seat for you at the rodeo
and I've got every slow dance saved
Besides the mexican food sux north of here anyway

Troy Aikmen wants you back
Willie Nelson wants you back
NASA wants you back
and the Bush twins want you back
and Pantera wants you back
and Blue Bell wants you back

I got a premonition
I'm taking a petition
and the whole state's gonna sign

Come back to Texas
Its just not the same since you went away
Before you lose your accent
and forget all about the Lone Star State
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
and I've got every slow dance saved

Come back to Texas
Its just not the same since you went away
Before you lose your accent
and forget all about the Lone Star State
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
and I've got every slow dance saved
Besides the Mexican food sux north of here anyway
Besides the Mexican food sux north of here anyway
Besides the Mexican food sux north of here anyway


I'm in love with the Mexican food line because it's true. YOU CANADIANS KNOW NOTHING OF REAL MEXICAN FOOD! MOO HA HA HA!

(PS: This song reminds me of Sound. I haven't talked to him in about 5000 years. Woe.)

(PPS: What's with all the songs about Ohio? Bewteen this and Hawthrone Heights...am I living in the wrong state?)
