Something I wrote:Sweet teardrops of heavenporing down on melike a thousand angels cryingfor a soul that's never freeIf I date to gaze upon such a sea of emerald eyes would you wash away my sorrowif I drown inside your skiesWould you take my breath my darlingand kiss away my painor would the flowers placed upon melet their petals smile in vainShould I contemplate tomorrow or sink further into darkor do you grant the only promisewhich will mend this broken heart(ok. That was written like 5 years ago. I ain't that flipping sad anymore. Please forgive me if there are typos. That was from memory banks only. )

Lately I've had the song "Enjoy yourself" stuck in my head! I saw it this weekend when I watched Everyone Says I Love You. Go look it up on iTunes… the ones by Doris Day and Louis Prima are my favs."Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself… it's later than you think!"
