We didn't really swallow much of the Jesus thing, but we got the vocab.

Popular music sucks so bad right now.

The songs keep on writing themselves, and I really love them. It's as close as I get to a religion.

Now I know I'll never be numb again. A mother is condemned to feel everything forever. And I'm finally afraid, condemned to fear everything forever. But that makes sense: feel someone else's pain, feel someone else's everything.And he's my baby, so everything's okay.

We need a day of the dead. That's a perfect celebration.
