alydanceparty! juNe action.





...i am not a pretty girl, that is not what i do. i ain't no damsel in distress and i don't need to be rescued. so put me down punk, wouldn't you prefer a maiden fair? isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere? i am not an angry girl, but it seems like i've got everyone fooled. every time i say something they find hard to hear they chalk it up to my anger and never to their own fear. imagine you're a girl just trying to finally come clean, knowing full well they'd prefer you were dirty and smiling. and i am sorry but i am not a maiden fair, and i am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere. and generally my generation wouldn't be caught working for the man. and generally i agree with them, trouble is you gotta have yourself an alternate plan. and i have earned my disillusionment, i have been working all of my life. and i am a patriot, i have been fighting the good fight. and what if there were no damsels in distress? what if i knew that and i called your bluff? don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down whether or not you ever show up?  
i am not a pretty girl. 
don't really wanna be a pretty girl. 
i wanna be more than a pretty girl
