I think "Send In The Clowns" is one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful - beautifully heartbreaking? - songs ever. It makes me want to sing, cry, fall in love, perform.

I really don't know what my life would be like without music. 

I saw We Are Marshall today and cried through a substantial portion of it. I am such a sucker for sports movies! Never mind the cliches, silly directing gimmicks, and historical anachronisms - I will always tear up and root for the underdogs.

SO MUCH HAPPINESS!

Sooo I decided to ignore my screaming respiratory system and go to the dance anyway. Although that was probably idiotic of me, being there made me really happy.
