"She's got it all worked out..."

She's got it all worked out in her mind
And you're part of the plan
And you don't have the final word

She's got a long head start on your brain
And your heart is afraid
And you don't get to say you're thinking

Come on make it easy now
Come on make it easy on us all
Come on make it easy now or tears may fall

She's got it all worked out I'm afraid
And your time is arranged
And it's strange but you're feeling fine

She's got it all worked out I'm afraid
And your life is arranged
And it's strange but you're feeling fine

Penny Lane

Today was a snow day, and it was very dull. Just like life on Penny Lane... normal and "very strange". It's also cold. I dislike snowish stuff.

Yich.

Sometimes, America's Funniest Home Videos aren't that funny.
The sunrise always burns my eyes.
My feet are incredibly cold.
I see your face and it's desperately kind.
Wherefore art thou, Jim?
That's how the high powers took my daddy from me.
The Wall is pretty much the best movie ever.
There is no debate, no debate, no debate.
You belong with me, not swallowed in the sea.
I controlled myself yesterday, mostly.
Where are you?
I realized that I really should be not so much of a bitch.
Oh, poor Stick Boy and Match Girl.
Is there any point in ever having children?
Dare I say it?
No.
