That's Meredith Brooks
, who had a huge hit in 1997 with the song 'Bitch
', two years after Alanis Morissette
made ''going down on you in a theater'' a female empowerment issue and three years after Hole
femmed-up grunge, and just before the Spice Girls ''invented Girl Power
''. So young ladies found strength in accepting their shallower side, for lack of a better description, in the latter half of the 90s. And most of the girls my age fell victim to this.In any event, again, I'm not really a fan, but I fell into this video for the song 'What Would Happen
' in my weekly visit to the blog It's My Turn/Kat Gets Her Man, in which an American touring musician chick displays a guy-like obsession for a lost love that she has waited years for - through long-distances, marriage, and other obstacles Life has put in their way. She's nicknamed her man 'Skippy', and that guy should know she's a definite keeper - I know I would, chances are he does too.And she's a smart one, too - you can tell she knows that perhaps it could go to shit, perhaps they'll have evolved differently through time, but she doesn't care, she's waited for her chance and she wants to take it and see where it leads, and hopefully it'll all work out for the best for all parties involved.
In the meantime, she has a job to do, with co-workers who aren't always easy on her; she isn't always a happy camper, but she fights through it with the means she sees and the friends she makes. She goes on dates, gets sad and drunk, and has developed a taste for spankings.
So, yeah, in a recent post, when shit was hitting the fan but getting better, she had this video embedded, and since it gives me an opportunity to talk about her blog, I've decided to borrow it as my Video Of The Week; in the meantime, she's written a sad post with no happy ending, sadly. Here's hoping she gets to feel better soon.
Hopefully this song helps.

The closest it got to the symptoms of epilepsy is that it has thujone in it from the wormwood, which can give spasms and lead to seizures in too high a quantity, but usually absinthe bottles contained far less of it than was first thought - although
