Expression

Hello again! I wasn't entirely pleased with my changed skin last week, too cheery and pre-school, although it expressed a bit of the spring feeling around here. So, with a bit of inspiration, I took to a paintbrush and changed it all up. Can one every be truly satisfied with design work like this? There's still a few things that could be better about this look, but it is an improvement. Hopefully I can keep it up for a while before tiring of it, maybe change to color splots in the future.

Several weeks ago, roo and I got into writing e-mails in verse. (Does anyone else miss roo?) Maybe this unlatched a closed door in my brain, not sure, but since then I've written three songs in three weeks. Ashley has made a website of her poetry, but since mine are songs, I'd rather not publish them without the music. However, there's not a good web service for that, even if they were already recorded. I like the songs very much, and think they are my best work so far. But my poor fingers are blistered from playing them all over and over! Songs, indeed, anything of your own making is very satisfying.
