King Of Anything Lyrics
By Sara Bareilles

Keep drinkin' coffee
Stare me down across the table
While I look outside

So many things I'd say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet
And count the cars that pass by

You've got opinions, man
We're all entitled to 'em
But I never asked

So let me thank you for time
And try to not waste any more of mine
Get out of here fast

I hate to break it you babe
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to save

Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything

Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)

You sound so innocent
All full of good intent
You swear you know best

But you expect me to
Jump up on board with you
Right off into your dellusional sunset

I'm not the one who's lost
With no direction oh
But you won't ever see

You're so busy makin' maps
With my name on them in all caps
You got the talkin' down just not the listening

And who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything

All my life
I've tried
To make everybody happy while I
Just hurt
And hide
Waitin' for someone to tell me it's my turn
To decide

Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)

Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything

Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died
And made you king of anything

Let me hold your crown, babe
Oh oh
Ah

Grrrr!

Well I figured it was about time for an update. I've almost forgotten about this damn blog. Life is the funnest, happiest, scariest, worst, saddest roller coaster ever.
In my innocence I was naive enough to think that when you decided to make a change in your life, people that love and care about you would be supportive. I have had a huge slap in the face in that department. News Flash: My decisions are made to try and better my life and make me happy. Don't take it personal.
My family has stood by me through my decisions over the last year and have been there through the thick of it. I am so grateful to them. I honestly don't know how I would ever have made it through. Brenda is my life saver.
Needless to say, things are going pretty good. I am dating a great guy named Cory. He is my best friend and so much fun.
Tax season is in full force and it has been a busy one. We usually have someone that helps us copy and assemble all the returns. Not this year. Emily has moved on to further her career in the nursing field and she's doing awesome! So Brenda and I are working more hours to compensate and try and stay on top of things.
Jason moved out in December. Emily had an apartment in Orem and she had just kicked her previous roomie out for not paying her share of the bills. So it just seemed appropriate to move in together. They get along pretty good. Things have been fine, but when their lease is up in June Jason has decided to move in with his grandma and Emily is moving in with our oldest sister, JoLynn.
I have had a few major family events happen lately. It has been really hard and scary. But they have brought me closer to the ones that are affected. I don't know what I would do without my family. I realize every day that they are the consistent ones that you can rely on no matter what. Friends come and go. I've also realized that sometime being comfortable is more important than you think.
