Becky's Greatest Hits Vol. II

You're the good things yeah that's you... You're the icing on the cake on the table at my wake You're the extra ton of cash on my sinking life raft You're the loud sound of fun when I'm trying to sleep You're the flowers in my house when my allergies come out You're the good things...

No one knows you or understands you like your siblings.  And for this reason, I really feel bad for only children sometimes.  Also, you can make fun of how they dance and they can't do anything about it.  That is love.

In keeping with always being incredibly behind the times, my high school sweetheart and I watched Easy A last night on FX.   I feel the need to point out my husband was my high school sweetheart because whenever we watch flicks about high school, we inevitably end up talking about our school days together.  And we almost always agree, as probably anyone over the age of 30 will, that the times, indeed, are a'changing. First off, I was pretty let down by this movie.  I thought I knew what it was all about, but obviously I was dead wrong.  How does creating and running your own rumor mill make you a strong young woman?  If you control the rumors about your sluttiness you are somehow empowered?   And then when a boy asks you out and actually wants some the action in the rumors, then you are insulted?   And it's not until you get insulted and cry your eyes out that you have the nerve to tell the boy you've liked since middle school that you actually...
