Lindsay Lohan has been let out of rehab early. Rather than spending three months in rehab where she would get help for her addictions of various sorts and, perhaps, get some help to get to the root of her addictions, she spent a total of twenty-three days. The source of this information is not at liberty to speak publicly, but did say that she will now be entering a rigorous outpatient rehab program. Unfortunately, the last time she was doing outpatient rehab, she did not attend all of her meetings.
Her release from the rehab program at Ronald Regan UCLA Medical Center came after she spent fourteen days in jail for violating her probation stemming from a 2007 drug case.
Lohan is 24 years old, and only about three years away from the fabled 27 Club, a listing of musicians who have died at the age of 27. The list includes Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Kurt Kobain.
The following song by 31 year old artist Emilie Autumn kept getting stuck in my head whenever I read stories about Lohan. I am not sure why. Lyrics follow, though they are also in the embedded video.
Thank God I’m pretty
The occasional free drink I never asked for
The occasional admission to a seedy little bar
Invitation to a stranger’s car
I’m blessed
With the ability to rend a grown man tongue-tied
Which only means that when it’s dark outside
I have to run and hide can’t look behind me
Thank God I’m pretty
Thank God I’m pretty
Every skill I ever have will be in question
Every ill that I must suffer merely brought on by myself
Though the cops would come for someone else
I’m blessed
I’m truly privilaged to look this good without clothes on
Which only means that when I sing you’re jerking off
And when I’m gone you won’t remember
Thank God I’m pretty
Thank you God
Oh, lord
Thank you God
Oh, oh and when a gaggle of faces appears around me
It’s lucky I hate to be taken seriously
I think my ego would fall right through the cracks in the floor
If I couldn’t count on men to slap my ass anymore
I know my destiny’s such, that I’m all stocking and curl
So everybody thinks that I’m a fucking suicide girl
Thank you God
For the occasional champagne I never asked for
The occasional admission to a seedy little bar
Invitation to a stranger’s car
I’m blessed
With the ability to rend a grown man tongue-tied
Which only means that when it’s dark outside
I have to run and hide can’t look behind me
Thank God I’m pretty
Thank God
Thank God
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you God!

Emilie Autumn is older than 22, isn’t she? I know her birthday is 22 September, but methinks she recently turned 31.

shoot, you’re right, my brain switched birth date for age. Sigh, my brain is rather addled, I’ve corrected it.
