you say i seem so grim
darling do you forgive me
i went out on a limb
cause i needed to be

near the fireflies flying high above me
then i hit the sky and it fell down on me

you said it wasn't sharp but i cut my finger
you said it just wouldn't burn and i scarred my face

you said i won't forget and i don't remember and
you said i'm something i'm not and i fell on my face
you said i wouldn't rot but worms are crawling on me
i'm just a son of a bitch no matter what you say
i'm just a son of a bitch no matter what you say

Celica graduated from a university in Northern California with a degree in Creative Writing and has unfinished degrees in Sociology and History. She knows neither of the latter truly count, but she counts them all the same. Celica works for a non-profit organization, where she spends soul-sucking days chained to a desk and a computer. Sometimes, she gets to yell at people and make them cry. She realizes this may make her a bad person. Celica spends her spare time reading magazines, shopping, and sitting for hours at various Starbucks. She drinks at the Elephant Bar. She is perpetually penniless. When she grows up, she wants to be a character on Sex and the City. Celica lives and laughs in Southern California.
