Life by Misadventure

I posted this in another thread but I had to share with you guys in case you missed it...

One of my hobbies is making song parodies. I came up with this parody in the car on the way to work... enjoy!

This is..."Man! I Feel Like I'm Manic", based off of Shania Twain...here's the original song, and then my spoof on it.



Let’s go girls, c’mon

I’m going out tonight
I’m feeling alright
Gonna max my credit cards
Wanna fix the noise, really ignore the voice
Yeah I wanna scream and shout

Ugh.

No interventions, make no conditions
Get a little outta line
I ain’t gonna act like it’s any different
I only wanna have a good time

The best thing about a-being bipolar
Is the prerogative to get a little crazy

Oh, oh, oh, I’m totally crazy
Forget I’m elated
No rules, concerns
Oh, oh, oh, feeling so wild, yeah
Doin’ what I like
Oh, oh, oh, forgettin’ to mention, another condition
Can’t mellow my cares, I’m runnin’ again
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free, yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like I’m manic

They all need a break, these thoughts I can’t shake
A chance to get out from this down
Really need my meds, we all know how this ends
These thoughts aren’t gonna hang around

The best thing about a-being bipolar
Is the prerogative to get a little crazy
Oh, oh, oh, I’m totally crazy
Forget I’m elated
No rules, concerns
Oh, oh, oh feeling so wild, yeah
Doin’ what I like
Oh, oh, oh forgettin’ to mention, another condition
Can’t mellow my cares, I’m runnin’ again
Oh, oh, oh I wanna be free, yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like I’m manic.

The best thing about a-being bipolar

Oh, oh, oh, I’m totally crazy

That's both funny and astute, Lark! Actually, as parody lyrics, it's funny, but if you were to just read them not knowing they were a parody, it's a pretty poetic depiction of BP.

That’s brilliant Lark!

@ceph sorry I'm late, that's a nice drawing!
@Rohag welcome aboard
@LL good luck for whatever you will choose.
@bjornen Izzy is so cute

Hi fellow Misadventurers. I just want you to know, if I'm absent from the thread for a day or so, it's only due to family issues. I'll be back soon! Take care of each other.

We'll miss you, but it's understandable. Let us know how you're doing when you feel up to it.

We’ll miss you purple .. we’ll be here

Thanks, guys. You are very sweet

That's great Lark! (Bjørnen said it better than I can -- I concur)

I read in the other forum. Hugs, Purple. Be good to yourself.

Please make the video for me too

<pops head in, looks around for white fur>

Ooo, I can’t wait!!

Aww, Soapy is just a little bigger than the dog I had when I was a kid <feeling all warm and fuzzy>

I went to a really cool donation center today, it was huge and it had a lot of really good top-brand stuff. I got the most ADORABLE comforter for my new free bed! It fits a Full/Queen and I'll have the coolest bed in all of LC.



I am hanging out with my parents and I just made them belly ache with laughter. I posted this on my FB and they read it and just laughed and laughed.

"This febreeze smells like Fireball!"
"Yeah, to us non-alcoholics it's called cinnamon, Becky."

I stole it from a meme a friend posted, but I added my real name instead of Becky. Very few online people know...but Fireball is my poison. Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots! Shot-shots! EEERRRRYYYBBBBOOODDDYYYYY!!! Now I want fireball. I wonder if I've bought fireball since living with my grandparents? :eeks:

The comforter is adorable and right up your alley!

LL—the cozy cat comforter is just fabulous

Jennifer—how are you feeling?

KT and Desiree, I'm trying to come up with a first-person view of tummy fluffing. I feel like it requires two hands to get the full effect . I wish I had a GoPro to mount on a hat or something. Maybe I'll have to duct-tape the phone to my forehead...

Ha! I have thought about that—I would love to record my hands playing the piano from that point of view! Maybe involving a hat...

I have one of those fold-out music stands that tilts; I just set my phone on it to record

Ima ready with Ceph’s Awww button!

Tummy fluffs, as requested by Pepper Tones and Desi. Not the best angle, though. Maybe I'll try another later?

I’m good. Thank you for asking.

Stealing Ceph’s awww button again—



Oh, the fluffy, white fur! Oh my gosh, that tum-tum! She lifts her paw Soapy is just so precious!

Ha! There’s Izzy at the end, that made me laugh

Thank you, Bjorney

Random post bomb.

the best part of living on my own: my tea cupboard.

Great news! Just found a Disco Wonderland NYE party with unlimited champagne. Sometimes life is sweet.
