so unsexy

I can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful
So unloved for someone so fine
I can feel so boring for someone so interesting
So ignorant for someone of sound mind.

alanis morissette, so unsexy, from under rug swept

i was listening...really listening...to this song yesterday, and i realized that this is totally me. sure, i play what i call "the confidence game" sometimes...pretending that i'm strong, self-assured, and fearless...but the truth is, i'm usually not. i don't feel like delving into the long litany of reasons why i'm usually not, at least not today--it's friday, my boss is out of the office, and i'm actually feelin' pretty good. but
alanis certainly has my number, yes she does....

(oh and, by the way...in case you need another reason to buy
this album, meshell plays bass on this song, as well as on "you owe me nothing in return".)
