Get Over Yourself, Frog!

The events of this weekend gave cause for me to evaluate my life. Where do I stand? Where am I going? What do I really want? Although there were some frustrations and tears, I think that I've done a lot of growing up. I also think that I'd like to share some favorite song lyrics with you. The first I shall dedicate to one that will remain nameless:

"Get Over Yourself" -SHeDAISY

You say you're gun-shy,
I say you're spineless.
You think you're pensive,
I think you're mindless.
Such a busy little drone
That your heart beats in monotone,
So loud you can't hear me
Repetition's what you need.

Get out of my air,
Get off of my cloud,
Get out of my hair,
Get off of my couch,
Get off of my lips,
Get out of my life,
Let me give you a tip
Get out of my sight!
Get off of your knees,
Get out of my face,
Get out of my sleep,
Get out of my space,
How long do I have to show and tell, scream and yell?
Get over yourself!

You say you're complicated,
I say too dramatic.
You think I underrate you,
I think I've finally had it.
With you never havin' time
'Cause half the time you spend designing brilliant tragedies,
And it's becoming your disease.

Won't let you unnerve me,
Won't let you deserve me,
And even if I kiss the dirt you're going to see me how I don't hurt,
And I don't hurt.

Hey, get over yourself!

The second shall serve as a reminder to myself and all of my friends:

"Princes and Frogs" -Superchick

All princes start as frogs and all gentlemen as dogs.
Just wait 'til its plain to see
What we're growing up to be.
'Cause some frogs will still be frogs
And some dogs will still be dogs.
Some boys can become men,
Just don't kiss us 'til then.

You hate men is what you say, and I understand how you feel that way.
All girls dream of a fairy tale,
But what you've got's like a used-car salesman
Trying to conceal what's wrong behind a smile and a song,
And I'm not saying that boys are not like that,
But I think you should know
That some of us will grow.
Because. . .

All princes start as frogs and all gentlemen as dogs.

Just wait 'til its plain to see
What we're growing up to be.
'Cause some frogs will still be frogs
And some dogs will still be dogs.
Some boys can become men,
Just don't kiss us 'til then.

You found him is what you say,
And we all want you to feel that way.
The frog you've got seems cute enough to kiss,
And maybe frogs seem like that's all there is,
But just because you haven't found your prince yet
Doesn't mean you're still not a princess,
And what if if your prince comes riding in
While you're kissin' a frog what's he gonna think then?
So look into his eyes,
Are you a princess or a fly?

All princes start as frogs and all gentlemen as dogs.

Just wait 'til its plain to see
What we're growing up to be.
'Cause some frogs will still be frogs
And some dogs will still be dogs.
Some boys can become men,
Just don't kiss us 'til then.

Yes, that pretty much says it all. :)
