Tra-laa, It's May! The lusty month of May!

I didn't want to start this post with my customary, "Hello, peoples!" but I can't think of any other way to get this thing going, so...

Hello Peoples!

Life is just awesome, you know that? Life is such a wonderful, amazing thing! And yes, that's my Saturday voice talking. *Grin* 

I know I post pictures of flowers kind of a lot and I'm sure that must get boring. But really, flowers are so fun to photograph!

*Pssst* Garden roses = prettiest roses ever.

I haven't shared any of my doodles at all lately. That's partly because I didn't have a computer for a while, partly because I haven't been doodling all that much lately and partly because I'm too lazy to take pictures of my doodles. 

But today just felt like the day. Don't get too excited. They're nothing all that special. 

I tend to write out different quotes that I like, especially when I'm at work and need little happy reminder. Then I'll glue them in my journal later if I like them. 

This quote has been floating around in my mind a lot lately. 

I just like like the overall feel of this picture. I'm not sure why. It's really scribbley and slap-dash, but I like it. I will say it's better in real life when paper grain isn't so accentuated. *Nods.* And you're all like, "Suuuure..."

Doesn't it look kind of cozy? It makes me want to buy a coffee and sit in a little cafe and write.

This picture I sort of love. It was one of those that just kind of came together for me, which almost never happens. (Which is another reason I don't post doodles very often :) I'm thinking about using color pencils on it at some point and seeing what happens then. I don't know. That's scary.

And this picture leads me perfectly into my Song of the Week! I planned that. Cause I'm awesome.

~Song of the Week~

I don't expect my love affairs to last for long

Never fool myself that my dreams will come true

Being used to trouble I anticipate it

But all the same I hate it, wouldn't you?

I can't remember if I've posted this song before and I'm feeling too lazy to check, but if I did oh well. You get it again. But a different version.

So what happens now?

Another suitcase in another hall

So what happens now?

Take your picture off another wall

Where am I going to?

You'll get by, you always have before

Where am I going to?

It's one of those songs that's just really fun to sing and, depending on my mood, really relatable...Well. Relatable-ish. I'm not such a sad, depressed person. :) But I sometimes like to act my music out and this song is perfect for that, too.

Time and time again I've said that I don't care

That I'm immune to gloom, that I'm hard through and through

But every time it matters all my words desert me

So anyone can hurt me, and they do

So what happens now?

Another suitcase in another hall

So what happens now?

Take your picture off another wall

Where am I going to?

You'll get by, you always have before

Where am I going to?

I've heard quite a few version of this song and I like quite a few versions of this song. Samantha Barks does a really good one, and Sarah Brightman's is really fun to sing to when I'm warmed up and feeling good about my high notes. :) 

Call in three months time and I'll be fine, I know
Well maybe not that fine, but I'll survive anyhow
I won't recall the names and places of each sad occasion
But that's no consolation here and now.


I just heard this version for the first time today and I really like it. Her voice is really pretty.

Toodles! I've got things to do and coffee to drink! 

God Bless~
