A love note to the DU lounge (please read)

[bicentennial_baby]

After everything i've been through in the past few years, you guys and gals have always been here for me, no matter what. I can't repay you all or thank you enough for what you've all done for me, but I want you to know I'll never forget any of you and your kind hearts. I was thinking about this while reading the 'What brought you to DU' thread, and I wanted to post this Ani DiFranco verse, to let you know how i feel:

"i do it for the joy it brings
because i'm a joyful girl
because the world owes me nothing
and we owe each other the world
i do it because it's the least i can do
i do it because i learned it from you
and i do it just because i want to
because i want to"

Ok now, no more sappiness from me! Back to Shark Week!

8. It's nice to find comfort...

Sometimes you find it in the strangest places...

9. Bit of a melancholy choice from Ani :)

You could've chosen a happier tune

and I wonder if everything I do
I do instead
of something I want to do more
the question fills my head.
I know that there's no grand plan here
this is just the way it goes
and when everything else seems unclear
I guess at least I know

[bicentennial_baby]

11. i don't see that song as being melancholy at all

guess we just see it different...

[ET Awful]

12. Perhaps :).

But that's okay too
