Let me introduce myself...to myself
A friend of mine recently had a comment regarding my personality. He says I am a romantic introvert who likes to depress herself. I remember him telling me once that my romanticism makes me melodramatic as well.Romantic: Imaginative but impractical; visionary
Introvert: a person who tends to shrink from social contacts and to become preoccupied with their own thoughts
Depress: To bring down or humble; to abase, as pride. To cast a gloom upon; to sadden
Melodramatic: Having the excitement and emotional appeal of melodrama; exaggeratedly emotional or sentimental
Yep, that's a pretty fair assessment of me.

These Days
(Jackson Browne)
I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to.
I've stopped my rambling,
I don't do too much gambling
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I'll see another highway.
I had a lover,
I don't think I'll risk another
These days, these days.
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing so long.
La la la la la, la la.
I've stopped my dreaming,
I won't do too much scheming
These days, these days.
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten.
Please don't confront me with my failures,
I had not forgotten them.
I adore Nico singing this song...
