So here's my new theme song! Tubthumping by Chumbawamba
That's right: "I get knocked down, but I get up again. You're never gonna keep me down!"
Ah, much better :)
Feel free to add your own songs to the play list, my friends!

I've gotten so many rejections for different things I've written that I think I will use them to paper my bedroom. "Tubthumping" brings back so many memories...memories of a younger self who didn't get rejected!!!!
