BioOne Less Thing -- By Liz Phair
I took my dog to the vet today
He gave her a shot and put her away
And when I got home and got ready for bed I realized what I'd done
And that's one less thing on my mind
I left the man I'm in love with behind
I moved to Chicago and told him I'd write
But now when I wake and I see the wrong face I realize what I've done
And that's one less thing on my mind
Did you think that I knew what I was doing when I said that I had to grow up on my own for a while?
Now I'm dog-less and love-less and cold in a midwestern winter
If I'd known what I was doing I sure as fuck wouldn't be here
Now I like to think that I like to learn from mistakes
But I've made that error in judgment one too many times
And I'm not the wiser and sure not the wealthier
I wish to God that I had've been healthier mentally
When I decided to make up my own mind
But that's one less thing takes up my time
I'm lining up six or seven good jobs
My hair's looking great and my friends are all snobs
But I don't have my man and I don't have my dog
And I don't have very much fun
And that's one less thing on my mind
If you want to know more about me than what's implied by my choice of song, I'd suggest your best bet is to actually ask for the story, straight from the source. Seriously, I don't bite . . . at least not without provocation. ~_^
Terms of Conduct:
To anyone inclined to abuse my journal: I do not condone racist, misogynist, or other hate-speech commentary, or non-constructive criticism directed at anyone, including myself. I'll delete commentary of that nature if I find it posted in reply to my journal writings, if necessary. I suggest you not bother. If you feel the need to read my public entries and fume over them, that's your business, but don't bother mentioning anything about it to me, unless you can be polite, respectful, and constructive in your criticism.
