I feel like such a mess sometimes. I feel like every song Lisa Germano ever wrote applies to me.
I mean, why is it so easy to get sucked into the vortex of your own head? One minute you're looking in the mirror thinking everything's fine and the next thing you know you're sliding headlong into the dark, with no way to stop. And it happens so damn fast sometimes.
It's not as bad as it was and I don't feel like this nearly as often, but when I do it's still like a sucker punch to the gut. I just don't see it coming.

Thank god for Lisa Germano.
Hey Marcy, i will tell you a story that might cheer u up...once i went to
see Lisa Germano in a really initimite venue in london many years
ago...around the time of geek the girl...in one of her really quiet songs
igot up to go to the rest room and i kicked over somebodys bottle of wine
by accident....it smashed and lisa almost stopped playing...i was really
embaressed...but it's kinda funny thinking back.....not a good idea to sit
on the floor and drink wine in a venue tho...so it wasn't entirley my
fault. Geek the girl and Happiness are my favs !!!
oh, don't we all have those days! And you cracked me up with the Lisa
Germano comment. I think I have Damien Rice days, or perhaps Elliott Smith
ones.
ross, you always cheer me up! that sounds like something i would do, btw. i
am notoriously clumsy! thank you. : )
I'm listening to a lot of Bauhaus right now. That can be a worrying
sign...
that's interesting, fil, because i thought from your status update on
facebook that listening to bauhaus in the car was a good thing--shows you
how much i know! i find it odd that spring can cause the black dog to
appear. seems like it would be just the opposite, you know? anyway, mine
seems to be the coming-and-going type, not the sit-and-stay type, at least
i hope that's what it is. *sigh*
Well, it CAN be a worrying sign - it isn't always. It wasn't this morning,
but twelve hours later and I'm thinking it might be....
that's exactly what i mean! one minute you're jamming to some bauhaus and
the next you're being sucked into the vortex . . .
