"our muddy boots plod down the lane"

Listen well, my flock, for this is the story of my life: I spend days hunting for fake leather boots and when I finally find a pair I take them home and give them names and dote on them. “Dear appropriately named shoes,” I purr to them, “from now on, I shall treat you both like shoe royalty. Does anyone want a scrub ( Read more... )

Congratulations to your friend Sarah! This must be a very exciting time for her! :)

Ohhh man. I wish life were a musical. But I suppose it could be only if you decided that you would live that way!

Oh, I'm absolutely thrilled for her sake! She's such a wonderful person, and I'm so glad she's found someone to make her happy (WEEPYFACE, for I am a sentimental LOSER).

But it so IS a musical! Except with less jazzy hands and mysterious masked men in the basement. There is a song for every occasion, don't you think? Right now, my song is Dancing in the Street, so I sort of can't help but hum it or sing it or wiggle my shoulders to it. Do you have a Song of the Moment? I think you do!

There are certainly songs for everything but I'm not sure if I have a Song of the Moment for this particular moment! D: I'm very sleepy right now so... I'm probably going to look forward to "The Mindless Drone of the Subconscious Mind". :Db

WHAT a coincidence! The Mindless Drone of the Subconscious Mind is one of my favourites at the moment. Meaning, SLEEP, I NEED it.

ME: Life… is a musical.
FRIEND: One, please, please stop skipping and two, life is not a musical!
ME: Yes, it is! Only sometimes it’s like Sweeney Todd and sometimes it’s like Mary Poppins.
It so, so is.

Thank you for agreeing with me! Most people pay no heed to my wise words, but I see that you are one of the enlightened few. Didn't Shakespeare write that all the world's a stage? Basically, I'm agreeing with him -- I'm just saying that all the world's a stage... but with singing!

*nods* Yes, exactly. I'm surprised more people don't break out into song more often. And I totally agree with you about it being Sweeny Todd one day and Mary Poppins another.

For me, right now, seeing as it's spring and everything, it's definitely Mary Poppins. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Or possibly Sound of Music but without the Nazis and the, you know, actual plot.

I've been thinking about it, and I've concluded that more people would be willing to break out into song if everyone wore fanciful costumes. More costumes for the people!

Oh, hello, and how nice to see you! Personally, I think ALL days are good days for making new friends, and so I bid you welcome and add you back! (Also, I think lovingliest is one of the lovingliest words I've heard today! Oddly, I tried to describe something as "worstest" today, as in "good Lord, my hair, it is the worstest thing I have seen!")
