Happy Songs

Because - well, interlock's post cheered me up a bit, and rainy grey Mondays need that, and because the last thing I did before this was threaten to make and use a voodoo doll, so I must balance my karma a little, n'est-ce pas?

In no particular order - I even added a couple after I couldn't beleive I'd missed them:

* Friday I'm In Love - the Cure (for all sorts of reasons - but mostly because it's simply happy, boppy & good!)
* She Sells Sanctuary - the Cult (memories of the Cornerstone in St John's with Gene Leger - one of two songs he'd manage to drag me out on the floor for! (And he always came back to find me, which was sweet))
* New Year's Day - U2 (it's snow in my head - and for me, that's a good thing)
* Walking on Sunshine - Katrina & the Waves (a bit like the Cure track, if not as intensely guaranteed to lift the mood)
* Red Right Hand - Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds (whenever I hear it, I get so involved in the sounds and rhythm that I forget what's on my mind)
* Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison (it's happy, lighthearted, and makes me smile)
* Lust for Life - Iggy Pop (happy with intent)
* Dancing Barefoot - Patti Smith (dreamily happy, very different from Iggy)
* Everybody Knows - Leonard Cohen (happy as a cynic - which I am)
* If I Had a Million Dollars - Bare Naked Ladies (if only for the Kraft dinner line!)
* Romeo & Juliet - Dire Straits (ah, young love)

There's loads more, but that's all the poor battered mind is currently yielding.

Finally.

Dad has an appointment to see the hematologist on 18 May, Mom just phoned to tell me. The pooch barked agreement in the background. Why it took 8 weeks to get the test results, and another 6 to arrange an appointment, I want to know.

I missed it :(

Happy birthday mrs_nightshade!
Hope you had a great day!
