The wisdom of Salt N Peppa...

I used to think Vanilla Ice had it right: "Anything less than the best is a felony..." But the more I think about it, the more I think I must have lowered (or lost?) my standards somewhere along the way. Mr. B. says if you expect things to turn out badly - you are pleasantly suprised when they don't! I'm not sure if that's a good way to look at things or not. But if you expect the worst, you're never disappointed, right? So Jenny and I were talking of "girl-ish things" today (or yesterday?) in the kitchen at school. And we wondered aloud why I'm such a silly thing when it comes to discussing (or actually doing) things of an "adult" nature.. (here we are on an internet blog, and I still can't bring myself to discuss things with the correct terminology!! How repressed am I??) Anyway. I came to the conclusion that I am 25 years old, and now is my time for having fun. I watched an old episode of "Felicity" on WE yesterday. In it, Felcity and Ben broke up because Ben thought Felicity really loved him, and he wasn't really ready for that. And so she pretended that she was ok with a purely superficial relationship -- "no strings attached", and in reality, she really wasn't ok with that and things ended poorly. But I'm thinking perhaps now is that time in MY life for superficial relationships... Let's be honest - that time was probably a couple years ago, but it's difficult to have superficial, meaningless relationships when you live with a bunch of guys who want to "kick that guy's ass" everytime someone messes with you. It can be intimidating to a potential boyfriend when you bring him home to a house of hostile men... anyway. But by lowering expectations and resigning myself to the fact that maybe there really ISN'T that one special someone out there for me (as Joe has always maintained), perhaps I will someday be pleasantly suprised. Perhaps not, but at least I won't be disappointed, right? Anyway. The reason Salt N Peppa fit in here is because I am in the market for a new theme. Having kicked Vanilla Ice and his talk of "anything less than the best" to the curb... I have begun my search for an even better theme song to describe my new superficial relationship-seeking, standards-lowering self. And so far, I've got: "If I.. wanna take a guy... home with me tonight... It's none of yo' business!" But although it has the content and the feeling I'm looking for, I'm not sure it has the flow... So I'm still taking suggestions. And yes, Jake, I am aware that you not only disapprove of blogging in general, but you also disapprove of the writing out of song lyrics (I have not forgotten the stern look and disappointed-in-me- lecture you gave when you caught me writing Fiona Apple lyrics in my World History notebook in Ms. Ogren's class back in... '97? '98? ...). I guess I'll just have to deal with your sarcasm when it comes, eh?
