Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Home

Alabama, Arkansas, I do love my Ma & Pa
Not the way that I do love you

Holy moly, me, oh my, you’re the apple of my eye
Girl, I’ve never loved one like you

Man, oh man, you’re my best friend, I scream it to the nothingness
There ain’t nothin’ that I need

Well, hot & heavy, pumpkin pie, chocolate candy, Jesus Christ
There ain’t nothin’ please me more than you

Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is wherever I’m with you
(2x)
La la la la, take me Home
Baby, I’m coming Home

I’ll follow you into the park, through the jungle, through the dark
Girl, I’ve never loved one like you

Moats & boats & waterfalls, alley ways & pay phone calls
I’ve been everywhere with you

That’s true

We laugh until we think we’ll die, barefoot on a summer night
Nothin’ new is sweeter than with you

And in the sticks we’re running free like it’s only you and me
Geez, you’re something to see.

Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is wherever I’m with you
(2x)
La la la la, take me Home
Baby, I’m coming Home

“Jade?”
“Alexander?”
“Do you remember that day you fell out of my window?”
“I sure do, you came jumping out after me.”
“Well, you fell on the concrete and nearly broke your ass and you were bleeding all over the place and I rushed you off to the hospital. Do you remember that?”
“Yes, I do.”
“Well, there’s something I never told you about that night.”
“What didn’t you tell me?”
While you were sitting in the backseat smoking a cigarette you thought was going to be your last, I was falling deep, deeply in love with you and I never told you ‘til just now.”
“Now I know.”

Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is whenever I’m with you
Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is when I’m alone with you

Home
Let me come Home
Home is wherever I’m with you

Ahh, Home
Yes, I am Home
Home is when I’m alone with you.

Alabama, Arkansas, I do love my Ma & Pa
Moats & boats & waterfalls & pay phone calls

Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is wherever I’m with you
Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is when I’m alone with you

Exhausted. Now a weekend of volunteering, then next weekend volunteering. In the meantime teaching a course and going through an interview with the feds to become an Occupational Health and Safety Officer. I don't really want the job (I am a sensitive soul and couldn't stand being hated by people), but I really need a more steady income. I want to work on the ambulance but nothing is coming up yet. We'll see. My boomeroo love (doggie) is settling in wonderfully :D I heart my wee doggie. A friend of mine went for a walk with us yesterday and said he looks like Toto from the wizard of oz...

This song has been running through my head for almost a week. I thought I'd share it with you.

Buzz buzz buzz

I'm a busy bee at the moment. I'm working, volunteering and ensuring that my lovely little boomer boy settles in appropriately. The working is just 6.5 hours in a medical room for 10 days, but it's still work and I need the cashola.

Also got a few leads on where I might be able to apply. I applied today for 3 jobs to work on car (I don't know about you, but I call working on the ambulance a car... am I weird or what?)

Hope all things are going swimmingly with you :D

Allow me to introduce

Well, I know this will sound very weird. I replied to a kijiji ad for a free dog. The person who was giving him away said I was second in line and that if the people who were wanting him didn't come and pick him up by 10AM, I could come and take a look.

10AM came and went. A day or two later another ad was posted for a dog that was 2 years old, a wauzer, etc etc for $400. I emailed and wasn't expecting to hear back (hard to find a dog seemingly). They emailed and when I went the woman seemed nervous and a bit emotional. It rang bells but I wasn't exactly sure why. She said that they'd had the dog for 6 months and were moving to a different city and needed to make a choice between their dogs and had decided on the big dog.

I took him and some small voice said "look at him. he looks exactly like the dog in the free ad". It was easy to email this woman who had given him away and ask if she had given away a dog named blah and the original owner was blah (I had the certificates etc). She emailed back with her phone number and to call straight away.

Leave it to me to be the universal bloodhound to suss out someone who totally took me for a ride. I find it funny, to be honest. I will call the lying bitch and give her one chance to make amends. If she does not respond, I'll leave it to the universe to take her to task.

Do you find it as bewildering and almost hysterically funny as I do that the universe shows me this sort of thing?

What is it

you need to do in this life?

Tips from the pros

Comfort tip: take a shower or bath, towel off, climb back into bed. It is one of the best feelings in the world.

Discomfort tip: when a student wigs out in class, telling you that you're on a power trip when you ask to see her skills on CPR and the AED again because the first time she placed an AED pad on the R & L shoulders instead of looking at the pictures that really are dummified and when doing CPR asking with an upward inflection and getting guidance from group mates... When she won't listen to you, refuses to do what you're asking (despite asking other individuals to do the same in other groups, she feels singled out and that I'm being unreasonable), get someone to take her to the big cheese to talk to and DOCUMENT everything.

That student is going to lodge a formal complaint against you. She is going to say that you treated her differently than others and acted power trippy with her. One of her group mates came in and said: that woman from yesterday had an IQ 50 points lower than my Siamese cat.

I wish I were a man if only to avoid the stupid bitch/cat fighting that happens when you have women in the same room.

I have actually shed tears over this woman's blatant lies and accusations against me and obviously need to grow a thicker skin.
