On Valentine's Day and always

Once, my friend R'nice told me that the song he'd always wished he'd written himself was "Your Song" by Elton John. Thinking about that today, I think the one song I wish I had written myself is "Song for the Asking" by Paul Simon.

Here is my song for the asking
Ask me and I will play
So sweetly, I'll make you smile
That is my tune for the taking
Take it, don't turn away
I've been waiting all my life

Thinking it over, I've been sad
Thinking it over, I'd be more than glad
To change my ways for the asking

Ask me and I will play
All the love that I hold inside

I'm feeling very "Song for the Asking" today. Someday, I will be a good writer.

What time do you get to work tomorrow?

I'm here now. I'm here until 1:30 or 2:00.

Someday? Why not now?

I was listening to that song yesterday and thinking just how wonderful it is. It's definately one of my favorites.

I'm a pretty stinkypants writer. But I keep hoping I will "grow into it." :)

It is a wonderful song. I had to bring in my "Old Friends" box set to work today. Yay for Paul.

Can you imagine us years from today?

Tu es not a stinkypants writer!

How terribly strange to be seventeen.
