Leanne "made me" listen to this song today. She called me (which in itself is a shocker because no one ever calls me) and told me to go over there after work and told me if I did, she'd even let me stay for dinner on one condition...if I were to listen to this song and not get mad about it. So here are the lyrics...It's called "Fall" and is sung by Kimberly Locke
Oh look there you go again
Putting on that smile again
Even though I know you’ve had a bad day
Doing this…and doing that
Always putting yourself last
A whole lot of give and not enough take
But you can only be strong, so long before you break
So fall……
Go on and fall apart
Fall into these arms of mine…I’ll catch you…everytime you
Fall….go on and loose it all
Every doubt, every fear, every worry, every tear, I’m right here….
Baby fall…
Forget about the world tonight
All that’s wrong and all that’s right
Lay your head on my shoulder, let it fade away..yeah
And if you want to let go baby its ok
She just stared at me as I listened to it, which I have to admit was kinda awkward/freaky. But when it was done, she was searching my face for some sort of reaction and all I could do was ask, "What is for dinner?" Then she said, "Dammit Corinne I'm saying those words from the song to you." I said, "I know. But I'm hungry." Which may have been rude, but I don't care because she put me on the spot and that drives me insane. I still have a lot of healing and growing to do and one of the things I've yet to overcome, is the spotlight, when someone is trying to help me. Ok so if I stop being strong and just let it go, what good does it do me? I end up with puffy eyes for the entire next day, and a headache from all of the overanalyzing I always do. I don't feel better afterward, I don't think....to be honest I don't remember. It's been a while since I let it go...with someone, let alone by myself. Sorry...but no way.
State bowling this weekend. Oh joy. Shoot me now.

No, I didn't die or anything
So I saw this today and now feel the urge to brag about the company I work for....
