leaving home
after a row with my mum, i decided* to leave home. as i packed, she continued shouting at me, yelling such helpful things as "if you walk out that door, you won't get back in!" you know, the usual stuff.
i decided to drown her out by playing some music, so i turned on the radio, just in time to hear billy joel singing "i don't care what you say any more, this is my life"
for some reason, this amused me greatly.
moving out that day was one of the best things i've ever done and, even now, that song makes me smile.


*she threw me out

radio is voodoo
listen to it enough and it will speak to you.

Good on you!
Billy Joel is appropriate for every situation. Probably a good thing it wasn't "We didn't start the fire", may have given you ideas.
