Sept 5 2006

A short list of songs you don't want to be listening to (and singing along to, rather loudly) when your ex-husband, who has "issues" with people who have mental illness and thinks because you are on medication that you are psychotic, shows up at the door:

They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Ha
Bitch by Meredith Brooks
Unwell by Matchbox 20
Extraordinary by Liz Phair (particularly the chorus: I am extraordinary, I am just your ordinary/ Average everyday sane psycho/Supergoddess/Average everyday sane psycho)

This list inspired because I WAS just singing along loudly to "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Ha" (well, chanting, really...you don't really sing that song) when X showed up unexpectedly. With a co-worker, no less. And those other songs are in the playlist I was listening to. Actually, letting him see the *name* of that playlist (All About ME) probably wouldn't be wise, either. ;)

DISCLAIMER:

Everything here is just my opinion. I am not an expert in anything except being me. I link where I can, but I make no promises that links will work forever and still go to the place I originally planned.

Topics I discuss are of interest to me, but do not necessarily mean anyone in my life is directly affected by it, so please don't jump to conclusions.

Something that works for me or someone I know wouldn't necessarily work for you. If you don't like what I say, don't flame me. If you like it, or if something might help, take what you can, ignore the rest. Oh, and please don't steal my stuff. mk

P.S. I love discussion and questions, and will respect your opinion, as long as it is not derogatory or disrespectful. I reserve the right to delete any comments that piss me off, which include (but are not limited to) bots & trolls.
