Hey, Unwritten really spoke to me when I was in high school! I did ruin a couple of schoolbooks, though. Next time, leave the book bag in the car, self.

I like this song. And unironically like Ke$ha. And think Katy Perry makes some good songs.

… and it terrifies me

Aha! This must be why [Tinkerbell can’t go a twentieth of the way around](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=701215)! She’s obviously half the size of a lightning bug.

Huh. I have always been under the impression that there are women who find Mick Jagger attractive. Is that not the case?

Also, “we kick them to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger did when he was younger and sexier” wouldn’t have rhymed.

God I can’t believe I’m trying to defend Ke$ha’s lyrics. For the record I think she’s horrible.
