my first try at linking a youtube video...

in high school this was one of my favorite songs from my favorite band...half a person by the smiths...friends would always say they thought of me when they heard it..i think i sang it often...i was always adoring things and having crushes and the smiths were a big one, still are...


and another favorite...wonderful lyrics



i thought the romance and the sad and the clever happy in his voice and words were the pinnacle of goodness...and...well...i'm not far off.....to listen to them now is to remember when feelings seem to mean much more.....i suppose because i was an emotional cub scout (not that i am this great giant master of my emotions now)....when i found a gal that understood the smiths i found one that understood me...and OH the crushes...

i remember even in college my crushes fueled me, that aching made waking worthwhile...
