happy day!

[framefolly]

I woke up ecstatic today.

You read right: ecstatic. It had been storming since mid-afternoon yesterday, and I fell asleep to the sound of rain hitting the pavement, and the occasional slide of a car across slick surfaces. I love rain. Someday I will again live in a place where it rains more frequently than in LA.

That started me on a productive day.

We have rain on an average of 188 days a year. But I still like to listen to the sound of rain on the windows - especially if I am tucked up warm in bed.

So jealous! I'm even jealous of your icon :) .

I grew up in Taiwan, and the sound of rain on banana leaves and the wind through the bamboo forests? My eyes tear up when I remember them....

[curiouswombat]

kazzy_cee made the icon - and some similar ones too, it's snaggable if you credit her. Aha! here thy are - she tags her icons very efficiently!

Thanks! Oooo -- pretty....

What a cute song! I could see that being sung in a Disney movie!

[blue_aardvark]

Scratch the Disney movie. The rime threw me off. When I thought about it more it's cute on the outside but dark on the inside, kinda like a Dorothy Parker Tootsie Pop. Kinda like you, framefolly.

ROTFLMAO. Oh (takes a moment to wipe tears from corner of eye and stop gasping) -- that's the best compliment EVER. I'm so proud, I might have to type it up and frame it or something.

I should show you songs#1+2. They're also cute on the outside and dark inside ;) .

[blue_aardvark]

Yes please!

[snarkyghosts]

cute song. I like it.

[framefolly]

Thanks! Sorry about the really horrid recording -- but thanks for listening/reading!

Hope your kittycats are kissing your toes :) . And that this school year will be filled with pleasant surprises and well-deserved satisfactions.

hi victoria!
i'm so happy that you had a happy day!
nice song there - although i hope i'm not reading too much into it :)
it's a lovely late September day here, you'd really appreciate its particular charm....
more later,
fauna

Hey Fauna!

Would you mind not using my real name here in the future? Just for that practically non-existent modicum of anonymity ;) .

Glad you like it! As with I Hate Blue Sky and Nice Guy, I don't think I could have completed this song without having gotten a certain kind of ironic perspective from the experiences that inspired it. As much as those songs made use of a persona, this one combines threads from my life, my sister's life, and the Spike/Buffy relationship, while not being representative of any of them. I just really like how I finally found a melody that didn't sound TOO monotonous, but did have that whining and obsessive quality I wanted to match the lyrics. Making my voice break over and over on octave leaps is also really fun ;) .

It's a lovely Sept day here, too. There are no unlovely days here. I hope I won't end up hating lovely days...Sorry -- getting grouchy because of big project due tomorrow that I can't make myself work on....

I do like rain, as well. The sound of rain is one of the best things ever.

[framefolly]

And those "rain sounds" CDs just don't cut it for me...

Last night I had a dream I was married to Wesley. He looked just like he does in your userpics! It was a blissful dream, but too short -- we were separated by some planet-destroying force...

Maybe we'll meet again tonight?

[enigmaticblues]

Ahhhh! I am so jealous! That sounds so much better than my dream last night, which had something to do with me working for Child Protective Services and freaking out about jobs. *sigh* Oh, if only I could really marry Wesley...

[framefolly]

I dunno -- I think this was a curse in the form of a blessing, since he has forever ruined me for another man....
