I'm Still Here! Just trying to figure some stuff out.
Here are some clips to occupy your time while I figure it out.
Not a fan of the lyric changes, but love the movie and Shirley.
I didn't know this one existed...
Love Polly Bergen
Yvonne DeCarlo, makes the lyrics "First you're another sloe eyed vamp / Then someone's mother, then you're camp" so much more poignant.
and then of course. The mother of them all. The one where she DOESN'T GO UP ON THE LYRICS.
I'm kind of sad you took your original post down. I guess I was one of the few people that didn't see what was so bad about it. I used to write all of the time. Angry shit. Shit that could come off as racist and belligerent, white hot anger from my experiences living in Northern Virginia and elsewhere- and I would NEVER EVER let someone take away from me my right as a human being to say what I felt I needed and wanted to say.
ReplyDeleteWriting is therapy and sharing it with others, whether they want to agree or tell me to go jump off a pier, is a way of making my mark in a society where history would rather say I don't exist.
I hope you figure things out. Laugh at yourself a little bit in the process and realize who you can let into "your world" and who you can't; who can actually see you as human being and who feels entitled enough to put their feelings over yours.
In the words of some jack-off someplace in a time elsewhere; I may not like what you have to say, but I will defend your right to say it.
We may never see each other again Spencer, that's a reality, but the last thing I ever want to think is that you were silenced by people that don't pay your bills, fondle your balls, or wake you up in the morning with kisses.
Love,
Nicole M.
