King of Wishful Thinking came over my headphones just now, and I just had
to write in here.  Been meaning to anyhow.  God this song is making me
happy - what a wonderful feeling.  It reminds me of when I saw Garbage
perform Only Happy When It Rains live; I was able to take this song that
had made me feel so much pain in the past, and sing along to it not as a
sad song, but as a triumph over sadness; like, I remember that and boy I'm
glad I'm past it!  

but i won't shed a tear for you
i'll be the king of wishful thinking


hmm, and yet another song comes on that makes me think; this song actually
reminds me of what I thought of this morning driving to work and I'd
forgotten; smells.  smells and what powerful associations they can have.
not sure what caused me to think of it; some scent brought me back
somewhere

i can taste you on my lips
and smell you in my clothes

nothing profound today, but it's nice to feel good while writing this
